£20 million for Dwight McNeil..just let that sink in

Good signing, proven creativity and goal threat in this league. Would rather have had this than £100 million on Hutchinson, Ndoye and Bawkwa.

It’s a loan with obligation, apparently.

It reassures me that we weren't willing to pay that for McNeil as it means Dyche had very little say on who comes into a team he probably won't be in charge of in 6 months.
The last thing we needed to do was make the mistakes of the past by filling a squad full of players for one manager and then asking someone else to take them on.

Palace messed them about too ? Probably knew we were interested and took us out.

Can we nuke this thread please. Throw the Chuba toothpaste and Che Adams ones in there too.

Palace blobbed on the deal by missing the paperwork deadline. Lucky lucky Pale-arse.

Just seen the quite lengthy post by his girlfriend on Instagram, actually feel really bad for the guy and seems like Palace did a real number on him. Sometimes the side of football we aren't privy to seems way worse than the grubby side we do see.
Hope people will start to see Parish for what he is.

What happened to McNeil is no different than what happens to dozens of footballers, each and every transfer window. The whole business is an absolute farce. I'm sure Palace are no more guilty of dicking a player around than the next club and we ourselves will have done it to several players in recent history I'm sure. The difference here is that you don't often get a light being shone on it in such a frank way by someone who's affected by it.
Without a fundamental change to the system, we are stuck with the twice a year clown show.
Only in the sporting industry, and only in football very specifically, is this a thing. It wouldn't be considered in any way reasonable or acceptable in a different sector.

It also works the other way where players are at a club ready to sign and then the agent gets a call and they piss off down the M1 to sign for another club.
They're both laughing about it now but here's a funny story with Mick McCarthy and Steve Sidwell on the Peter Crouch podcast about Sidwell doing exactly that.

Yeah but there's no personal life impact when it's that way around.It also works the other way where players are at a club ready to sign and then the agent gets a call and they piss off down the M1 to sign for another club.

Got to be possible that we were in on McNeil and Palace just played around as per usual.

Looks like his partner didn't get that move to London bless her..First world problems.
I hope she can get over this traumatic event.

True, but surely it's rare to be 99% of the way along and then just blank the player. At least we told George that we didn't want him back in the day. Not giving the player a call is infantile at best.
They can say what they want about EM, but at least he's the type (or seems to be) who will look you in the eye and tell you how it is.

Sounds like he was promised and had agreed a 4 and a half year deal too so he has been hung out to dry by the looks of things.
Palace have definitely bailed out on that one big time, alongside reducing the fee they were paying for Strand Larsen. The Mateta money vanishing off the table has clearly had them scrambling around….

I can't help but have some sympathy for anyone struggling to get out of Liverpool.
