Gosling

[Royal Blue Jersey]

The best thing I can say is, he was too average for me to even care. Good riddance to a nothing player whose life's greatest achievement came on a chilly Goodison eve over 4 years ago.
He will tell his grandkids about it. Nobody will tell theirs about him.

pretty much sums it up. He was never going to make it as a decent prem player. He has OK technique but has zero pace or strength. Thanks for the Derby goal (lets not think about the 5 crosses you let Benfica play in when we got hammered)...but ultimately you were not Everton class (well, maybe Everton class of 1993)

 

[Ian Wilsons hair gel]

Still grates on me the way he left. Can't say I rated him much but could see some potential, finding it hard to have sympathy for him

 

[Goat]

The Club left him a loophole and he took it, all we had to do was put the offer in writing and we could have got a few pennys in compo, hes no great loss, he was bang average, hes still making more a week then some of us do a year, so its not like hes bothered.

 

[Alio]

Seem to recall he scored in that famous 3-1 thrashing of Man Utd as well

We never saw the best of him becuase Moyes played him out wide

True, but I only think that's because he wasn't good enough to get a game in the middle.

Shame it never worked out for him with us, but hey ho

 

[Arteta2391]

He was good, but one of those blues that you forget over time.

Nah I won't forget Gosling purely for the last minute winner against Liverpool in the cup.

But as for the rest of his time at Everton, yeeah will forget it over time.

Goslings career wasnt only ruined by his move to Newcastle (if at all)

It was ruined when he played his last game for us. Despite being obviously injured about 20 minutes before the end of the match Moyes didnt take him off the pitch (or he didnt take himself off, either way we had used all three subs) and he carried on playing, running with a limp.

He didnt play for us again and has hardly played for Newcastle since then. I dont think his ability was the problem at all.

 

[steken1]

Was a decent player I always thought. The times he did play midfield he would always get himself in one or two good goal scoring positions a game. I think that's how he got injured if I remember right? Had decent movement and could pass quite well.

Never going to be a top class player but would have been a good squad man.

Schaudenfraude, my dear Goose.

 

[Royal Blue Jersey]

Hahah **** him. What a [Poor language removed].

Contrast that to James Vaughan, love that he's doing well. Wish we still had him, really. Top lad, top blue.

 

[The Hibbert Agenda]

I really really really really hope he traveled with the team and got to watch what he left.
But we know that definitely didn't happen. Probably playing for their u21s.
His agent should be given a medal for helping ruining his career.

 

[TX Bill]

He'd have been shipped out like Anichebe when Martinez took over and I don't know if he'd have ever gotten a foothold in the starting eleven.

He'd have been good for the cup ties but that's about it.

Anichebe got us 5m
I would have wished him the best of luck if he'd even gotten us 3m- instead of running off for nothing

Pardew tried to ship him off all summer.

Unlucky, lid.
