Newcastle to sign Dan Gosling on four year contract?

I must stress that these reports are unconfirmed by the club so far, so that is something we should be looking to keep an eye on, for confirmation I mean.
Gosling has, apparently, been flitting around the country talking to various clubs to try and help him make a decision regarding his future after a clerical error with his new contract at Everton allowed the 20-year old midfielder to walk away from Goodison Park as a free agent. Last thing I heard, Bolton were the favourites to sign the midfielder, and that was pretty late night so who knows what has gone on in the meantime to make him apparently switch his mind and end up back on Tyneside, if this is indeed true of course.
Any deal would be subject to any appeal by Everton, who had 14 days to decide whether or not to appeal against the ruling that allowed Gosling to walk away for nothing without so much as even a compensation fee having to be paid.
As I said, it is only confirmed in the press, although it’s pretty universally confirmed in the press, but I’ll hang on to any excitement until we here something concrete from the club. Saying that, it does at least look hopeful that we have managed to sign ourselves a pretty highly rated box-to-box midfielder and utility player for nothing, which can’t be bad.
More to follow as and when…
Waddles mullet confirmed it toonsy, so it must be true ;)
