"Tonight, and the last 48 hours, have broken my heart to see how the football world you love so much can be so cruel to you, she wrote. To have something promised to you, to have been dragged along on an emotional roller coaster and to be toyed with until the final minute, to have 4 and a half years of your life promised to you, travelling, medicals, arrangements made, promises made,"
"to have prepared to move your life, our life, 100s of miles away in the space of a few hours. For that to be torn away from you at the last second with absolutely no explanation, going from everything to radio silence, no phone call, no communication, and be left brokenhearted with nothing but confusion, has hurt more than I can say."
Crystal Palace pulled out of a proposed £20m signing of Dwight McNeil on transfer deadline day after previously agreeing terms and him completing a medical. The collapse of Jean-Philippe Mateta's move to Milan, following a failed medical, prompted Palace to seek a loan with obligation to buy instead. A deal sheet gave Palace two extra hours to complete paperwork, but Palace are understood to have changed their mind without informing Everton or McNeil. Everton were left mystified and Palace were contacted for comment. McNeil's partner said Palace provided no explanation, offered radio silence, and that the experience harmed McNeil's emotional wellbeing and raised mental-health concerns.
