Expensive mistake [or perhaps misjudgement] by someone at Everton [Kenwright?] - could have been looking at getting £4m in by all accounts instead of nixy...

Yeah I know, but if they hadn't ****ed up with only verbally offering him a contract instead of giving him the offer in writing, they wouldn't have had to let him go on a free. Hence, if Newcastle had still wanted him they would have had to shell out... Originally Posted by seanraff07

Somebody will be right in the soup with that one. £4m is a lot to a club like everton, Moyes will be livid that some bungling idiot let this much potential spends disappear.

Were Everton not allowed to re-sign him?
If the boy wasn't all that bothered about leaving I dont understand how they couldnt have just made up a new contract for him.

Was there not some shenanigans across the town about a verbal contract not being worth the paper it's written on recently?
Mind you, they weren't trying to hang on to a player. They were trying to get rid of a lump of, erm, wood that nobody wanted.

What an idiot. He got the fortune of getting out of Everton and no doubt a vastly inflated wage due to the way it occurred and then signed for Newcastle.
Good one mate.

S'pose so? Mind you, story from the Everton side is that they had got the impression from him that he would be resigning the new deal that was verbally offered. Smacks of him being tapped up as although he could have signed pre-contract before this verbal-written-freed thing appeared, Newcastle would have been due Everton the £4m then...

Can you imagine if Kenwright told the office lassie to type it up for him and she's forgotten...?

Gosling will always be remembered for a last-minute goal vs the Reds, but for little else.

It seems his old club Plymouth Argyle may have lost a lot of money also on appearance and transfer fee add ons.
