Another twitter claiming he set to come

 

Says he’s already a Sunderland player on Wikipedia

Well, Everton kept him on books for years so you’d hope he was half capable.

We are ****ing desperate for wing backs as well.

 

Window looking bright if we get him in aswell

 

Looks like we are signing smart for once in a lifetime.

 

Hopefully it might be a summer to remember

linked with good players for league 1

And on the verge of a takeover

 

It’s the hope that will kill us all mate!

 

He’s represented England at every level from u16 all the way through to u21. This looks like another very decent signing.

 

let the goods times roll, more confident now this season

 

We deffo need another left back and Garbutt can play left mid an all so getting a bit cover with him. Only 27 so plenty legs in the tank and well experienced at this level. We seem to be having a somewhat coherent transfer policy this summer, which is strange and refreshing at the same time.

 

I’m confident every season. But that bloody team I support lets me down with alarming regularity.

 

Yeah we do need more experience at full back
He would be fine

 

Mad that Everton have held on to him till he’s 27 without using him, there must be a player there.

 

I've just had a look at his Wikipedia page. What a weird career he has had up until now. I can only assume he showed massive potential at 22, got a big contract but never quite got to premier league level.

That's pretty unique i would think

 

This is a good watch to understand what sort of player he is. This is in the Europa against Wolfsburg. He looks very comfortable on the ball, he’s good at getting it down and playing short crisp passes. His weakness looks like his long ball passing. His pace and positioning seem fine, he takes a cracking corner. We’ll definitely be a threat from set pieces with him in the team.

He will excel in a team that get it down and play football. He won’t suit hoof ball, at all.

 

Aye, seems bizarre don’t it, 27 is 2/3 of your career they must have renewed him at least twice.

 

On what you can only assume are proper agreeable terms. Weird one. But it has to suggest there is something there.
