When Wise was around I doubt you would have signed someone like Gosling because you were looking UP at the top-6, not consolidating and attempting to survive a relegation threat.

What you have with Gosling is a decent low-level PL or good Championship player. You have no more, or less than that.

Some Newcastle fans need to wake up and stop making out like you've pulled off a coup. You're paying this lad over the odds (25k a week) simply because he was free. He has never been rated highly by Evertonians, although he was celebrated for scoring that goal against Liverpool.

If all goes to plan at Newcastle, Gosling will be a squad player at best in a couple of seasons. If you get relegated again (which you probably won't), then he'll presumably push for a first team place, while picking up his 25k a week.

What upset Everton fans was losing him for nothing. Someone cocked up, and we lost a potential fee. Like you we're skint, and the £1.5-2m we might have got for him, would have made a difference.

But honestly, you're welcome to him.

According to Bassong it wasn't Wise who spotted him it was Keegan.

The stench of scouser makem is strong with this anon !
Cheers for Gosling, matey.
My guess is that Everton will have no less relegation problems than we have.

I'm looking forward to seeing him in action once he is fully fit.

To be fair, you have to feel for Plymouth more than Everton as it was their mistake regardless of how the agent and player manipulated the situation. Either way, for the sake of an extra 10k a week, he's screwed over the two clubs who've made him what he is today. You'd imagine he agent insisted on a low sell on fee too as and when Newcastle get relegated….another nice little earner!
