I would've liked us to keep him as a squad player but if he wanted to leave for first team football then fair play to him. I think Reading will probably be a decent club for him as well.

Thought he was s*** tbh, no engine, did well in championship probably his level

 

ok then :lol:

 

I know reading are in pl but he will prob end up in championship, just one of those players that is not consistent enough for this level

Massive fan of Guthrie. Great little player on the ball.

 

His problem has always been his engine, he just can't get across the pitch like the top level footballer and it holds him back. He may have got away with it in Spain but not in the premiership, where the ball is flying over your head every other second.

 

For a club like Reading he can be a major asset, whether they are in the premiership or the championship.

Guthrie certainly wasn't shit last season. When he was called on to replace Tiote or Cabaye in the team last season he did a great job. He was unlucky to get dropped when Tiote/Cabaye returned (another reason why he is leaving no doubt). As a third choice CM he was fine. I guess Gosling is taking that role now. Gosling hasn't impressed me yet.

I'm seriously worried about Goslings ability TBF. He doesn't seem to posses any of the technical skills that we are trying to implement into our team. In fact he seems a Nolan type.

 

I suppose we should give Pardew and co the benefit of the doubt.

He looks shit but i'm not too worried tbh. Vuckic, Abeid and probably Amalfitano are all ahead of him i'd imagine. He wasn't Pardew's signing and i don't think Pardew really likes the look of him, if his minimal contribution last season was anything to go by. Norwich was probably the death of him here.

I disagree, I think Pardew does like him. He's given him quite a few cameo's from the bench, where as Vuckic etc have had few.

 

I don't think he will leave, therefore I presume Pardew has a plan for him.

Gosling never showed anything particularly great for us, no standout attribute. I'd suggest he needs to improve a lot if he's going to be of any real use to you. I guess he's versatile and works hard, but that's hardly anything.

 

Guthrie seems a better player than him in that CM role.

Mint signing for Reading if he continues his good form. Good luck to him. His right foot is a wand when he trusts it.

Yeah, York's taking rubbish there, like.

 

How the hell is it rubbish? I'm really not at all. Gosling barely kicked a ball last season - Vuckic, Abeid, Perch and even Raylor were preferred to him at centre-midfield. All he had last season was a handful of appearances from the bench - in spite of being fully fit for the majority; i doubt he's totalled more than 180 minutes for this club. There were several occasions where he didn't even make it into the squad.

 

I'll hold my hands up if in a year's time he's made some kind of impact for the club, but i seriously doubt Pardew's got any plans for him. And based on what we've seen, i can't blame him. Real nothing player.

Have no idea if he'll make any impact here, but he does strike me as one of those opportunist signings that you do on FM.

 

"Ah, he's available for nowt?! 'Offer contract...'" without actually having a position for him.
