Dan Gosling s proposed move to Crystal Palace is off, the player s agent has confirmed.
The Newcastle United midfielder looked set to join the Premier League newcomers and even completed a medical at Selhurst Park on Monday.
However, his representative Dave Hodgson has revealed there had been no further communication from Palace after the medical, prompting a return to the north-east.
It’s off, no question. It just wasn’t happening in the way it should have happened so we decided it was right to set off back to the north, Hodgson told The Shields Gazette .
Dan had fulfilled all the medical procedures, got the thumbs up and the surgeon was extremely happy with what he saw and he said that to Dan.
I spoke to the Palace chairman later and he did say that there had been a lot of miscommunication.
Gosling now looks set to stay at St James Park for the upcoming season, with Hodgson admitting that no other clubs are currently in talks with his client.
There were clubs who wanted Dan before and were interested in taking him on loan, he continued.
Our problem is that we made it clear Dan wanted to join Ian Holloway so much and we closed doors. Sometimes those doors don’t open again.
Ian Holloway, bless him, rang me and he is devastated but unfortunately it is not my concern.
Gosling moved to St James Park in 2010 from Everton but has struggled to cement a first-team place, partly due to injuries.
In his three seasons at Newcastle, Gosling has made 26 appearances in all competitions, scoring twice.
