Didn't feel this deserved to go in the Everton thread. Was just wondering what peoples general opinions on him are? Personally I think he's a little ****e and will boo the hell out of him if I'm up for the Newcastle game (will I or won't I hunters? YOU decide). Yeah he's given us that great FA Cup memory but it's tainted now with the way he left the club.
 

The forgotten man, I'm sure some said he was better than Rodwell..

A classic Squad player, I'm sure he's loving his dream move so far
 
Negotiations for a contract extension began in May 2009. Gosling declared "there's no other club I'd rather be at",[14] however no extension was agreed and his contract with Everton expired on 30 June 2010.[15] During contract negotiations Gosling was represented by David Hodgson, a solicitor and former professional football player.

On 6 July 2010 the Daily Mirror reported that the PFCC tribunal's decision allowed Gosling to leave Everton under the Bosman ruling with no compensation being paid by the club who sign the player.[16] The Daily Mail reported that the player earned £8,000 per week and had rejected a verbal offer of a £15,000 a week contract from Everton.[17] Everton were required to submit a contract with better terms than the existing contract to Gosling before the 30 May deadline to enable the club to receive compensation from any English club interested in signing Gosling. The compensation amount has been reported as being as high as £4million.

The PFCC tribunal based their decision on Everton's contract offer being verbally arranged and not in writing, had the contract been in writing the Merseyside club would have been entitled to compensation should Gosling have moved to another English club (but not to a non-English club) as he is under 24 years of age. The tribunal's decision also meant that Gosling's previous club Plymouth Argyle would receive no monetary amount despite a sell-on clause in Gosling's Everton contract.[18] As the playing contract expired Everton and Plymouth are also no longer entitled to solidarity contributions despite the player being registered with the clubs before he turned 23.[19] During the season Plymouth went into administration.


FFS KENWRONG.
 

Tidy on the ball. No heart or passion. Would rather we got some money out if his transfer but he was never going to be an outstanding player. How the board could just let his contract run down beggars belief though for a Premier league team.
 
More pace in Billy, honestly hand on heart never rated him and dont think he will ever be a regular prem player.
 
I was only pissed we didn't get money for him.

I never rated him at all. He didn't have enough of anything to look like he could do anything.
 

He won't get a game at Newcastle, miffed we lost out on a few million...

The Derby goal was one of the best moments ever though.
 
Good luck to the lad. I hope he gets his career on track. I, and anyone with half a brain, would have done what he did.
