Dan Gosling

[thomas]

So have we signed him or not?  How the hell did this get on the Nolan/Smith/Guthrie/Barton carousel of shit?

[Nobody]

i will be amazed if Smith is not in the team against Man U for the first game.  in fact as long as he's fit i can see him being one of the first names Hughton puts on the team sheet.

 

Himself, Nolan and Harper are Hughtons 'blue chip' boys. They'll be 'pinnacle' to our chances...

Reguarding the Dan Gosling signing, I for one won't be happy if he signs. I live in Birkenhead, near liverpool and my dad is an Evertonian. I watched almost every Everton game last season and Gosling, when he played wasnt up to scratch imo. He  scored a couple of good goals but hes slow, has a poor cross, cant tackle, and doesnt really track back. This could be down to his youth but, a good player at the age of 21 should have better ability at this time.

If all that is true you would have to wonder what Hughton see's in him? A free transfer isn't good business if he's no better than we already have. It will be interesting to see whether Hughton has a better eye for a player than your average Joe Bloggs (BB version).

...and David Moyes.

 

Everton clearly didn't want to let him go and he did generally seem to be in and around the first team at Goodison when fit, not bad going when you consider some of the players Everton have at their disposal.

 

If Everton saw something in him well that's good enough for me like.

[Merseyside Mag]

On his day he can be a good player. I just didnt see many of those days last season. I suppose on a free, theres always a chance we can make a profit if he isnt up to scratch but he sure aint worth £25,000 a week.

He was nothing more than a sub when he was fit (unless there were other injuries). Gosling is really slow and hasn't got much ability on the ball. The two positives to his game I'll give him are that he tries hard and has a bit of a knack for getting into goalscoring positions.

 

Maybe managers see something else in him that we don't but I'd be surprised if he ended up amounting to much.

 

I couldn't care less that he's gone in a footballing sense but the way he's done it rankles a bit.

Reminds me of Stephen Hunt.

Instantly makes him an upgrade on most of our midfielders tbh.

Everytime I see this thread I seem to merge the start so I read Van Gosling and all I can think of from there on is the arch-nemesis of Count Duckula.

He'd make for a diabolical DM.

I think Gosling will be a good prospect for us.

 

Even if they are not similar technically, i reckon Gosling and Guthrie are very similar in their stage of development. IMO it's excellent to see the club attempting to take this route, of buying younger players who can improve with the club (even if the motives are suspect).

 

Who knows whether it will work or whether either of these two lads will turn out to be quality players but i much prefer to fail through giving decent youngsters a chance than overpaid superstars.

 

I'd love to see us add a couple of exciting youngsters further up the field, who can join the young squad we are assembling. Vuckic, Guthrie, Carroll, Ranger, Enrique, Krul, Forster and potentially Gosling, not a bad little group of players.

Sounds like Kevin Nolan tbh.

 

As good a signing as we can expect to be making with the current owners though, sadly.

 

Best of luck to the lad if he does sign.

[Guest Heneage]

I'd hope Hughton isn't afraid to drop the supposed leaders of the team. It concerns me we have players governing like that.

More leaders the better shows they want to stand up and be counted.

[Cajun]

I still can't help but think everything we have been told by the resident evertonions is exactly what would have been said on here if Villa fans came and asked about milner when he signed.

It is, but then looked what we said about Beye. I know you don't need to know this like, but I'm sure you'll agree that there's never any way to gauge how a player will do, you just never know.

[Cajun]

I see what you mean, o'neill does hate full backs mind

 

Just hoping for the best and can definitely see comparisons between what was said during milner's time here and what they are saying about Gosling

[TaylorJ_01]

Aye but most people here were being super harsh on Milner. There were many of us here who rated Milner very, very highly. Unfortunately it wasn't a popular viewpoint.

[Cajun]

That's what I mean the everton lads could be doing, especially when you look at some of the players ahead of Gosling and Rodwell coming through at the same time.

[STM]

Based on what was on show, i'm not suprised it wasn't a popular viewpoint. Milner showed very little of the end product he shows for Villa.

We'll have to agree to disagree there.

I don't know what is your problem.  What way has he done it?  It's Everton F.C's own fault that lead to their player being released.

 

I mean a verbal agreement?  Since when did you mortgaged a house by not signing any papers.

 

If Everton FC is stupid enough to make such a school boy mistake then you should be more rankled by how that club is being run before you start questioning the player's integrity.

Getting the feeling with every passing hour that the title of this thread is here to stay until ' Gosling Sign new Everton Contract until 2015 ' in about a week.
