Dan Gosling is edging closer to a Newcastle United debut.
Gosling controversially signed for Newcastle from Everton carrying a knee injury.
Gosling told the Sunday Sun: "I think it is going to be quite good for me in a way that no-one will really think about me. I saw that the manager said I would be like a new signing and I suppose I am.
"However, I would rather not be in the papers for not doing anything!
"I am not too concerned about what people think about me - the only time I am going to be judged is when I get out on to the pitch and start playing. Then you can judge me.
"I am going to have a big job getting back in because there are plenty of good central midfielders there already.
"But then every squad in the Premier League has good players and good options running right through it.
"I will just concentrate on getting fit, hopefully get that first chance and then it really is up to me to take it."
