Dan Gosling

[The Prophet]

Jack of all trades, master of none. I'm not over the moon but it's another one to the ranks, I'll give him a chance.

[Dave]

if it does happen (and its looking promising) it shows our guys in charge are paying attention for good opportunities which is an encouraging sign

It shows they are looking for players that are going cheap.

 

Damned if they do, damned if they dont, tbh.

No, it’s the truth.

 

We've got nowt to spend on players. Deal with it, you'll save yourself a summer of heartache.

I am dealing with it. It those who are getting a stiffy at signing an unproven player for nowt that need a reality check.

 

Who's that then?

Well you if you’re impressed with our transfer business so far. In football you get what you pay for or less. Genuine bargains are a rarity and the odds are against being able to sign a PL standard defender and PL standard midfielder for peanuts.

It’s too early to judge either player but there’s no denying they were cheap.

 

 

I said I was 'pretty impressed so far'. In that I didn't expect us to sign anybody of note, let alone a replacement for Simpson and a £5m-rated English midfielder. Don't give a f*** how we've actually got him (if we've got him!) - it's irrelevant. In face if the club gets him for naff all like they did with Jonas then that's even better.

 

Yes they were cheap, but that's because we have f*** all to spend. What exactly is the argument here?

If we have fuck all to spend bringing in an unproven kid with an injury that will keep him out for about half the season might not be the best use of limited funds?

 

The injury is a worry, but the club clearly believe he's worth the risk. And what will be spending anyway?

 

From your earlier posts in the thread it appears you'd be happier if we'd got the player but paid £5m for him. Yes, 99% of the time a player's price tag reflects their ability (to some degree at least, and we should know better than others that it's easy to be ripped off), but this is the 1% of the time where there's an opportunity to get a player for fuck all in exceptional circumstances.

 

May I ask what your own expectations were this summer, and what kind of money you expected Ashley to sanction for new players?

[Ronaldo]

Barton will be our Steven Gerard next season, he's class.

 

I think we gonna be one of the most physical sides next season, want us to mash up some of them pansies, i hope.

 

Look what happened to Holland against Spain today.

 

0-0 draw.

[Dave]

Btw on the injury I spotted this the other day whilst searching: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/everton/8684530.stm

[Guest toonlass]

If it happens then I am not complaining. He's another body in our squad, he looked canny enough last year and is still developing and tbh I don't think he will let himself down in the premier league. Ok he is out for 3 months of the season but if the reports are true he is signing a 4 year contract. People need to look at the long term and not quick, Hollywood signings. We have had those before and look where we ended up.

[Fenham Mag]

Anyone think Ben Tozer and Aaron Spear played a part in him coming?

 

[Colocho]

Would take 38 points.

He's 20 ffs.

[Guest neesy111]

so 2 out of smith, barton, nolan, guthrie and gosling

[jdckelly]

so 2 out of smith, barton, nolan, guthrie and gosling

maybe 3 if hughton goes 4-5-1

[Colocho]

so 2 out of smith, barton, nolan, guthrie and gosling

 

Can see us playing 4-5-1 a lot next season to be fair.

[Jayson]

Jayson, it was apparently the clubs you mentioned then another 6 joined the race, so basically half the premiership.

 

So hth did we win  (If we have)

[toontownman]

Ronaldo, Maybe I'm doing hughton a big disservice by assuming he will stick with nolan, smith and maybe barton ahead of anyone else.it didn't look like guthrie was getting a look in last year in the centre until injuries thrust him in.

 

I'm sure he will get a few games, with our usual injury.

 

I'm glad if we get him. I just think with his main reason for leaving being not getting enough games in central mid he would have better places to guarentee getting games.

 

[TaylorJ_01]

Glad we are getting Gosling. Should be a good signing.

[Dokko]

Dave, do you have a link to said Bolton forums?

"Another money graber"

 

Bitter twat. 

[Colocho]

I'm glad if we get him. I just think with his main reason for leaving being not getting enough games in central mid he would have better places to guarentee getting games.

 

 

Which is exactly why I think Hughton intends to use him as back-up/competition for Routledge.

Another past it mercenary looking for a final pay day then.  "Sign young talent" my arse.  Fuck off Ashley.

I’m excepting us to sign a few players for a very small amount of money to buff out the squad, and then flog one or two of our saleable assets in the run up to deadline day.

[Ketsbaia]

English + Young + Prem experience + Free transfer = DURRRRR!!

 

 

a wonderful piece of business if this goes through. a lot of people had him in their England 2014 squad as well, so maybe we'll have a good English international core in Forster, S Taylor, Gosling and Carroll

Gutierrez, Enrique, Carroll, Vuckic (oh please god no). We have a couple tbf.

[Dinho lad]

I'm surprised Everton are letting him go. Maybe our Evertonian friends on here will reveal more about him.

[Pilko]

Funniest page ever this.

They all start off  saying what a great signing he'd be if he was to come to Bolton, until someone says that Alan Nixon has posted he's coming to us... then they all start to tot up savings on wages whilst he's injured and make slurs about the Geordie Nation and stuff.

[Dave]

FWIW:

 

Newcastle United have Hi-jacked Dan Gosling deal,can only think he signs for them now.Was at Bolton this morning now at Newcastle.     about 2 hours ago  via web 

 

He spoke with Newcastle & W ham on Friday but did not like what he heard,talked to Bolton yesterday,But Newcastle have improved offer     about 2 hours ago  via web

 

Just to comfirm Dan Gosling now at Newcastle,after they improved their offer to him.     about 2 hours ago  via web 

 

I have pictures of him being at Bolton yesterday in talks,then came the Hi-jack from Newcastle.     about 2 hours ago  via web

 

He was at Bolton,But Newcastle came in for the player,Thats the cutthroat nature of the transfer market for you.     about 2 hours ago  via web

 

Yep Newcastle offered the most so it certainly looks that way.     about 1 hour ago  via web

 

He was at Bolton today,Newcastle hi-jacked the deal just after midday.It's how the market works happens all the time.     about 1 hour ago  via web

[Guest Heneage]

So he was having the talks this evening?

 

Either way I'm happy, said the same about Perch, a young player who has a point to prove, and isn't living off better days.

We have had those before and look where we ended up.

We need to stay up. We need players who can improve the first team now, not next season or the season after that.
