maybe he will stay..
If the PL rules require a written offer and none was given, any verbal offer from Everton is irrelevant. Simples. Not a an issue of contract law but a procedural matter. All it would have taken would have even been a drunken scribble on a cocktail napkin.
Still - think Moyes can charm him into staying, at a reasonable pay raise of course.

We have 2 Gosling threads and only one Arteta thread. That's typical Everton that is.

Seems like the club, thinking that a deal was in place, made the unfortunate oversight of not putting the offer on paper, never thinking that the outcome might be this. With hindsight it's easy to call it a balls up or whatever you want, and obviously it is going to have severe repurcussions if he does leave, but I wouldn't go overboard on the whole 'incompetence' thing. Sure it would have been nice if someone had paid attention to all the small details, and considered all the possibilities, but if they believed that a deal was in place it's easy to see how it could have been missed, especially when such an outcome is completely contradictory to what you are being led to beleive.
I believe he will leave, like someone said above you don't go through all that to earn a better contract, so the biggest loss is the possible £4mil we could have earned, as opposed to his ability as a player. Hopefully the people responsible learn from this to always pay attention to the smallest detail and not to take anything for granted.

Sky Sports have said he's gone.
If he's being a little hot-head about not being played when and where he wants he can swivel.
Obviously he's a legend amongst us but you get played where and when you're told, sonny!

It hurts to admit it. But I think agree.

They call me Avocado Baby
Totally agree, squad player
But would like him to stay, he did have a knack for scoring high profile goals.....he's young and English
How long is he meant to be injured for anyway? He was going to make a quick recovery from what I last heard? Seems a lil dodgy to me on both his part, and a possible new employer on taking this risk?
He's no Rodwell

I'm a little confused at how many folks here are writing Gosling off as inferior to our needs, or just simply 'a squad player'.
It's worth remembering that Gosling is still only 20 years old. He has huge experience for a player of that age, and is extremely versatile. He has at least a few years left before he will actually physically stop growing, nevermind developing as a footballer. As a 20 year old player, I don't know too many of that age in the league that are better, so let's not go down the 'not good enough' road just yet.
We have lost a tremendous young talent if we have lost him, and there can be no mistake about that, regardless of how much we try to make it seem unimportant.

Super post!
Since your break, you have come back talking absolute sense! Well in BB!
It's true, i think Goose was one of them that when he was 24, 25 he would turn into a real good player. He is still too young to dictate and grab a game by the scruff of the neck.
Still though, he has gone now, good luck Super Dan and thanks for THAT goal

Has he actually signed for another team?! I would think this will be explained/resolved when the club returns from Oz, just as I would expect Piennar and Arteta's futures to be resolved. The club owes the fans some sort of explanation it would seem.
Gosling, is a decent versatile player and, whilst I personally doubt he'll progress to anymore than this, it seems a massive waste to let him leave on a free. Particuarly when the club clearly wanted him to stay, is providing (or has provided him) with medical facilities to aide his recovery and is in the process of building a large squad made up, in the main, of young talent. Gosling is English and would have commanded a decent fee. If he has gone I wish him the best, will always reember THATgoal v. the RS, but if he can be kept, efforts should be made. In short, even if the team is buiding what to me could be a great squad, we can't afford to be letting talent leave the exit door at all, defo. not for free!!!
Very likely a mix up has happened at some point, but some sort of explanation from an official source would surely help?!
