Magpies grab Gosling
Newcastle United have completed the signing of former Everton midfielder Dan Gosling on a four-year contract.
Skysports.com reported on Wednesday that the promising 20-year-old was close to agreeing a switch to St James' Park.
He has now put the finishing touches to the move, becoming the Magpies' second summer signing in the process - following James Perch's arrival from Nottingham Forest.
Gosling is a fantasy favorite from his time at Everton, having been
listed in the fantasy game as a defender but getting his playing time - such that it was - in the midfield. He also had a knack for scoring big goals. Which was nice too. But before you rush out and pick him up for your side, just remember that a) NUFC had a pretty settled midfield last year with Nolan, Gutierrez, Smith and Guthrie, and b)
While Gosling is keen to get going, Newcastle supporters will have to wait some time yet before seeing him in action as he is still nursing his way back to full fitness following a serious knee injury.
Not to mention he finished last season around 7ish which is too expensive in my book for a bench starter

Starting to look that way.
ReplyDeleteEverybody needs to chill a bit. I really doubt the folks at Yahoo would tell Jeremy & Neal that it would be back on Monday, and then cancel the entire season. They're just late. And considering how many cuts Yahoo has made to their staff over the last couple years, it's not surprising.
ReplyDeleteYahoo Fantasy Premier League still gets a ton of people playing every year, and I'm sure it makes enough in ad revenue to keep going. Yahoo is just keeping it going with the bare minimum number of employees. And really overworked staffers tend to miss deadlines all the time. C'est la vie.
