Whatever happened to the Gentleman's Agreement?

What are you talking about? I don't abuse new posters. I try to make them feel welcome.
I think you will find he only has a real go at people who show up here with their backs up and swinging at all-comers.

Can't we sign gosling all over again? Offer him a "written" contract and sign him up. That's possible right?
He actually rejected a offer that was put on the table late mate.

Regardless of blame in all this, I don't really want a player & manager that are capable of screwing a club like this.
Sure, he's used the rules to his advantage & taken advantage of the clubs assumption that he would honour a verbal agreement but, he has clearly shown his hand & what would happen next time? What demands would he put on the club? Sorry Dan, but we'd rather not have players with that kind of attitude here. Thanks for the goal & good luck with your next big trick.

Its a compleate fiasco and poor evidance of all that is wrong in the game, i think its absolutely shocking Gosling has shafted everyone in football who has given him an oppurtunity at Plymouth and Everton - for the sake of earning a few thousand - im sure many in football have taken a chance on this kid and hes just compleately gopne and thrown that trust and faith in thier faces, he will never go far with values like this in football or life.
Secondly the club are guilty of being naeive and secondly you have to question the professionalism of all involved - i heard about this potential situation back in Feb, so if i knew you canbet the club did, naievity or being blazie, whichever its clear we have lost on Sponds we dont really we have. What annoys me is that that potential five million could havebeen enough to give Arteta and Pienaar the increases in contracts. Im also dissapointed as i rated Gosling he had one of the best engines in the team and i could see him developing the same way Milner has had Villa, he was something different to what we had and he had come up the goods often enough against the highest quality to be rightly deemed a really good prosepct in the future - its a really big loss in every sense for me.

Appealing apparently:
Everton are furious with the way Dan Gosling has handled his contract situation and are to appeal the Premier League's decision.
Manager David Moyes and chairman Bill Kenwright are both said to be livid with both the decision and the player after the 20-year-old successfully argued he was entitled to a free transfer after the club failed to put a contract offer in writing by a cutoff date in the middle of May.
Everton's chances of winning their appeal look to be remote and the player, signed from Plymouth two and a half years ago, will be free to negotiate a new deal with a new club.
West Ham and Newcastle are both lining up offers for the player who could have expected to earn around the £15,000 a week mark had he stayed at Goodison Park.

I was a big fan of Gosling but, he was at best a very good squad player
wether he will trun out to be a regular prem player we will have to see
on saying that, if he go's to Newcatsle, he will only get one season in the Prem anyhow.
I tend to agree with the poster who said, there must be doubts with his fitness
you dont get where Kenwright is in life by being incompitent
also the poster who mentions angents up to no good is prob right.

Actually, it was you the new poster - from another forum who's come on with abuse - in your first thread.

We've seen the same thing time and again, when the nomarks "over there" on that stupid forum feel the need and they feel they've an opportunity they pile onto here ...
You're just the latest.

Hello LCAB.
Doesn't sound like the top echelons of the club are too happy with him though.
Does he seriously believe he's done anything to merit parity with Rodwell?
No I think not. Flashes yes. But nothing really substantial.
Thats the inescapable conclusion I come to.
