The Prophet Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 1878/Neil, in your opinion is Gosling much better than our current midfield options? We're talking Smith, Guthrie, Barton and Nolan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Don't remember the last time a former fan's analysis of a player turned out to be accurate, so I'll wait to see him play for us first. Pretty sure I described Mike Williamson accurately for you lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WashyGeordie Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Daniel Smzyth (Everton fan) says... What makes it such a "brilliant move" to leave Everton to join Newcastle? Is the boy mad? He has been absolutely shockingly adviser by his agent, and one can't help but feel the only "brilliant" thing about the whole transfer is the money he and his agent will get out of it. Dan Gosling symbolises everything that is wrong about the modern day footballer. Everton offered him 15k a week to say, he takes advantage of a loophole to get himself a massive payday and join a recently-promoted team with no history. "Brilliant move", Dan?

Neil Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 So if we tell you he's great, we're lying, but if he's shite, we're just bitter? Average player who might go on to better things with some solid coaching but I really can't see him being much more than a mid-table PL player. The more games he gets, the better I guess. Good luck to the lad, despite the debacle surrounding it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 What exactly has the lad supposedly done wrong? He has been offered the opportunity to play for a big club, surely he can't be begrudged for wanting to better himself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Risky signing for the 2011/2012 season, but hey he's on a free. Now do we stick with Smith and Nolan this season, or do we get someone like Cleveley on loan for the season to stand in for Gosling who probably isn't going to be up to it this season.

Cajun Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 He's only out until around November, he should get 3-4 months of football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 He's only out until around November, he should get 3-4 months of football. Do we ever learn? Based on other players coming back from a sort of injury that involves a missed preseason, and out until late Autumn, we wont see him playing well until April at the earliest unfortunately. He's a good player though, if he stays fit afterwards, he will be great for us in two seasons time if he hasn't decided to leave if we got relegated or something!

Cronky Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I don't know the player, but there's talk that he signed for us for the chance to play centre mid. A lot of young players get put out wide in the early stages of their career, because they lack the experience for a more central role. If Gosling isn't that quick - as most seem to say - then playing wide won't have given him much chance to shine, and hence the poor opinion that the Everton fans seem to have of him. Hopefully Milner is a good comparison - a slow player who needed to play centrally before achieving his potential. Hughton's comments about him being a 'box to box' player suggests that's how he wants to use him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1878 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 1878/Neil, in your opinion is Gosling much better than our current midfield options? We're talking Smith, Guthrie, Barton and Nolan. He's better than Smith (but so am I ) and probably on a par with the others. On paper, Barton is easily the best of the lot but he doesn't actually produce the goods much these days. He's somewhere between Nolan & Guthrie in style. His technique and passing isn't as good as Guthries (it's pretty poor) but he's harder working and more likely to get forward and grab a goal. Nolan without a season ticket for Greggs maybe. I don't really rate him though and haven't from very early on. He lacks the pace and skill to be anything more than an average player.

He a talented twenty year old on a free transfer. I don't think one injury is any reason to pass this up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Again, all said about Milner when 3 or 4 years older with a hell of a lot more games under his belt (still clutching). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
