2025/26 Dwight McNeil

[bullybeef]

Disappointed that Everton missed out on £20m.

From what’s being said, Palace seem to be a fault and haven’t treated Dwight and his family at all well.

For his wife/partner to come out publicly complaining about the ‘hardship’ of it all is all a bit unnecessary. She should try being on the breadline getting treated like crap by your employer whilst on minimum wage.

Dwight still has a job… and is getting paid mega money for it too!
Perspective my dear, perspective.

All jokes aside I’m actually gutted for him. It’s sounds like he’s been treated very badly.

There's also an extended period of 2 hours for finishing paperwork, is there not?

They still need to submit the relevant paperwork for the deadline at 7pm and then a few extra hours to complete.

Seems they never got the initial paperwork submitted on time.

Funnily enough I’ve watched him sulk and walk around the pitch on multiple occasions and have genuinely never understood the “he always busts a gut and gives 100%” thing.

I disagree. I'm not saying he has some amazing work ethic, but he has a decent enough one, and I've never thought he doesn't want to be here or is onlyhere for the money. He's nearly always available when called upon.

Now, I'm not saying that's something he should be universally praised for - it should be the bare minimum- but equally, I don't think he deserves the same sort of treatment and/or hate that should be reserved for players who genuinely take the biscuit.

This has to be a Chico wind up.

Careful, you'll be in a multi soon

A deal could be agreed in principle but the results of the medical could scupper that as we have seen over the years with us.

Palace never submitted the paperwork on time, could this be due to both clubs haggling over the fee?

Who knows. But if all the reports say the same thing that the clubs agreed a deal then its a decent guess to say it has. Its unlikely he's at the stage of a medical if it hasnt.
Either way the transfer was pulled within a two hour spell with the player knowing nothing about it.
I'm not gona lose sleep over it but he's been dicked about.

You’d think the feller had just returned home after serving in Afghanistan for 15 years at some of these comments, a failed transfer down the m6 to a club without a manager and half the squad in the process of packing their bags.

Hardly Real Madrid was it?

Dream move to Croydon- off
Replacement signed at Everton- on
Bench - on

It was clearly the right time for him to move on and I'm really disappointed for him, and obviously for us, that it hasn't happened.

Ultimately though what makes a club and its fans is how they treat and support people in moments like this. I've got no doubt he'll be shown plenty of support while hes still an Everton player, none of this is his fault.

Not sure what that means fella?

 

[neil999]

At least it didn't stop us signing anyone...although I suppose might have an effect in the summer

When things get rushed, mistakes happen.

Short memories IMO - he did prior Moyes. For some reason, he's just fell off a cliff.

If he didn't offer something on the ball in games (low bar, but most G&A for a few years), he certainly offered something off it. When we bought him;

His output fell last season, when he could only contribute one assist in a struggling relegated Burnley team, though he was in the top one per cent of attacking midfielders in the league for interceptions and blocks.
