Only it's nothing to do with Everton.
We accepted an offer, McNeil agreed terms with Palace, then Palace cocked up.
Imagine he'll be devastated; fresh start for him and all that. But it's football and he needs to knuckle down and earn another move in June.
I cant believe it was in some reports that Palace stopped the McNeill deal & would not submit the final agreement paper to close the agreed deal with Everton FC - over the fact Mateta deal fell through failing his medical - SSN transfer day announced that early pm - & they went out & purchased the Wolves CF for big money straight away -
The
Dwight McNeil deal started late evening Palace making an offer & EFC telling them to up it with add on's to 20 million - his contract was worked out as a 4 & 1/2 year deal & he was sent for his medical all agreed - paperwork sent through - the final agreement papers by Palace were withdrawn as they moved the goalpost on the deal plus now blaming it all on that Mateta deal falling through as he failed his medical -?
That was known well before the transaction with our club & I see it as a poor excuse as they have sold many players in the past & they had the funds plus it was that late of a move for Dwight he & his girlfriend may have flew there to get his medical on time - only for Palace to come up with something announced around midday over Mateta ?
A very sad state of affairs for any player to be let down in this way - with what looks like a lame excuse IMO ....
They have the right of course , but morally its unfair to any player IMO....
