STM Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hughton mentioned something about "players coming available" the other day and Gosling certainly fits the bill. Didn't we try and sign him from Plymouth when he was a youngster before he joined Everton? Aaron Spear? Oh aye thats him. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 From the Chron: NUFC battle with Sunderland for Dan Gosling Jul 8 2010 by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle Add a comment Recommend Dan Gosling NEWCASTLE United are understood to be facing a Tyne-Wear tussle with Sunderland to land Dan Gosling. Toon boss Chris Hughton woke up to national headlines this morning linking him with the 20-year-old, with Gosling reportedly on Tyneside yesterday for talks with the Magpies. United were keeping their cards close to their chest again, with Hughton only prepared to say: “Of course he’s a player that will be mentioned.” But sources on Merseyside have also indicated to the Chronicle that Everton have been left crestfallen that the midfielder-cum-defender has walked out on the Goodison Park side after contract talks broke down, with Newcastle predominantly mentioned as his next port of call. And after Gosling exposed a loophole in his contract, a Premier League hearing ruled that he was available on a free transfer after the Toffees failed to offer him a fresh deal before an imposed mid-May cut-off point. Gosling has now told Everton he wants to leave, even though there was believed to be a gentleman’s agreement between the Devon-born star and David Moyes that he would extend his stay at Goodison. Gosling arrived on Merseyside on a three-year deal and, although Everton wanted him to sign a five-year contract, Premier League rules don’t permit clubs to sign such long contracts for players under the age of 20. And this has resulted in Gosling becoming available to Newcastle and a host of other sides. For not only are Sunderland in the running along with Newcastle, but West Ham are also keen on Gosling, who has family in East London. Ironically, Gosling sprang to prominence last year when he netted a Premier League goal against Sunderland on his home debut for Everton. But he is perhaps best thought of on Merseyside for scoring a last-gasp winner against Liverpool in the FA Cup in the 2008/09, which made him a hero on the blue side of Liverpool – while he also found the net in Everton’s 3-1 win over Manchester United last season. Due to the Premier League’s ruling on Gosling, his first club Plymouth Argyle will not be entitled to the sell-on clause fee written into his original deal with Everton, as he is now a free agent. However, because the player is under 23, both Everton and Plymouth would be entitled to “solidarity contributions” as he was registered with both clubs from such an early age. That's wrong isn't it?

No you were right, we were after Gosling as well, we were certainly heavily linked. Ah well, can't harm if we have spoke to his people before, mind you alot has probably changed since then. Would be a lovely little signing for us but wouldn't address next years problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 De Guzman was the next best thing at one point. I remember some lad coming on here crying about how he's chosen Holland over Canada, he was devastated. Got to be worth a shot though. Did he leave Feyenoord or was he released? De Guzman, Perch & Gosling for £1m in transfer fees would be quite impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Whatever is said, you're no mug if you can get into the Everton team at 20 years of age. I hope we snag him, free is the best price Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I'd be well chuffed if we got De Guzman and Gosling on frees like. 20 and 22? There's room for improvement and development for both of them, exactly the kind of age of players we should be bringing through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Reading a few Feyenoord comments on de Guzman, most of them say that de Guzman needs to prove himself in a bigger league. One says that he hopes no-one offers him a contract and he has to beg for another one at Feyenoord. My favourite comment is newcastle blijft een mooie historische club. which means,''Newcastle remains a beautiful, historic club'' Dutch fans are great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Surely, even with us only being promoted, if Gosling's choice's were between us and the mackems, he just couldn't chose them, I mean, he must surely visit both places and see the players in each team. You can't look at Sunderland and go 'thats an attractive propsition, I really want to go there', you only go there if your mind set is 'first team football, decent wage, aye ill play there till I get a move away' (Kieran Richardson to name just one) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
