10 Free Transfers NUFC Need To Consider

6. Luke Garbutt

Fans and FIFA and Football Manager alike will be begging this one comes off. Garbutt is one of those players who isn't necessarily well known in real life but flourishes and becomes one of the leading stars in those virtual realities. And that's the basis of this entry. Everyone knows that both those games are realistic representatives of the current state of play on planet football which means that Newcastle should be at the front of the queue to snap up this promising left back. Understandably, Garbutt's chances have been limited thanks to Leighton Baines, but due to the fact that no one knows who The Magpies's first choice left back is, and with Paul Dummett's future seemingly destined to be at centre back, there is more than enough room for Luke in Newcastle's squad. Should he be given a chance in the first team, there's little doubting that the England U21 international would turn a few heads at St James' Park. However, being under the age of 24 it means that Newcastle would have to fork out a nominal fee, something that would be worthwhile considering his value in the transfer market.
