Will Gosling be a great player for Newcastle United? [poll].

Playing style.
I suppose that primarily, Gosling is what would usually be described nowadays as a classic “box to box” midfielder, ie a dynamic midfielder who can operate in many areas of the pitch, combining both attacking and defensive qualities as needs must, and not a million miles away from existing Newcastle players such as captain, Kevin Nolan, and Joey Barton. He is also what could be described as a “versatile” player too, who can play both on the right, in the centre, and also in defence at right back. He is also a player of some talent who has been sought by major clubs in the past, has played with England Under 21s and is still only twenty years old.
When he signed for Newcastle United, Chris Hughton described him thus:
“We are delighted to have signed Dan. He’s the right age and the profile that he has is what makes it such an appealing capture for us,”
“He’s young, but has Premier League experience and he’s someone who can continue to develop his game.
“We see him as a high-energy player and a player that can play from box to box, but he’s also a young player with experience, so he won’t be phased by what is ahead of him.”
Injuries.
Despite the recent serious injury which Gosling seems to have recovered from, he has little significant history in this department, with only one other, more minor injury in his career.
But what do you think? Do you think that Dan Gosling will be a great addition to the Newcastle United squad? Please vote in our poll and/or let us know what you think in the comments section.
Gosling’s most famous goal so far, scored almost at the end of extra time against Liverpool in an F.A. Cup Merseyside Derby.
