Don’t think McNeil not going is the clubs fault. It would appear Palace tried to change the deal to a loan to buy and simply ran out of time.
Had they stayed with the straight purchase they would have been allowed a two hour extension on the time.
Turning it into a loan to buy offer cancelled out those extra two hours, regardless if Everton had agreed or not.

God no. Dwight deal might be off.
02 Feb 2026 21:28:20
It is off 🙈🙈🙈🙈.
02 Feb 2026 21:37:27
Bobble has reported the McNeil deal is off and he’ll remain at the club .
Probably go in the summer other clubs will be in for him
In other news George is done and in.
02 Feb 2026 21:38:42
We should send the video team out scouting for players, looks like they spend more time doing that then the scouts do scouting players.
02 Feb 2026 21:41:56
Rather just got rid, been awful and slow, not been the same player, at least we might not have 2 play 2 keepers on the bench.
02 Feb 2026 22:15:58
Shoot me but i'd play him as full back.
02 Feb 2026 22:23:32
Embarrassing - what a missed opportunity this is.
{Ed025's Note - yet unsurprising JB..
02 Feb 2026 22:46:08
Were you too slow getting him down to palace in the wheelbarrow Ed?
{Ed025's Note - i had just oiled the wheel and pumped up the tyre when i heard it was off ST, gutted mate.. :)
02 Feb 2026 20:35:47
SSN live transfer blog states McNeil is a loan with obligation to buy for £20m apparently subject to some conditions but they are easily achievable it is reported.
02 Feb 2026 21:25:25
A lot of profit in this deal for us too Big C, when you take into account the amortisation.
02 Feb 2026 19:22:07
BBC reckon McNeil deal went through.
02 Feb 2026 19:34:21
He will probably fail the medical.
02 Feb 2026 19:39:59
Seems to be true 20 mil, was a star few years ago.
02 Feb 2026 20:23:48
20 mil for McNeil is excellent business.
{Ed025's Note - i would say amazing, but saying that even though i was never a big fan he represented our club with dignity...so all the best Dwight..
02 Feb 2026 16:46:49
I don't know who is making the calls on transfers but if, as reported, we have turned down a £20m offer for McNeil, then that amount to sheer insanity .
02 Feb 2026 17:11:08
We haven’t. We’ve simply ruled out a loan.
02 Feb 2026 17:13:29
Believe it was only a loan they wanted.
02 Feb 2026 17:24:56
Glasner has told Palace to go all out to sign Dwight McNeil before the window shuts. I actually think this one will happen.
{Ed025's Note - would be great but i just cant see it Peter..
02 Feb 2026 17:34:38
Sky sports news. Palace late bid for £20m.
02 Feb 2026 17:37:56
Glasner getting his own back then. Haha.
02 Feb 2026 18:24:51
My thoughts too Dixie 🤣.
02 Feb 2026 18:27:55
Glasner must want the Everton job.
02 Feb 2026 19:00:57
The bobble says we’re in advanced talks with Palace for a deal in excess of £20m, as I type ssn banner we’ve agreed the deal.
02 Feb 2026 19:18:06
Deal sheet submitted for McNeil to Palace via the bobble.
02 Feb 2026 19:18:16
Happy with that, another who started off looking impressive then flattered to deceive and was bang average.
02 Feb 2026 14:25:55
£20m for McNeil! I’ll take that!
02 Feb 2026 15:07:55
I’d take 20p and a Greggs sausage roll.
02 Feb 2026 15:11:35
I’d have been happy with half that. Hope this means we’re still in the market for players coming in.
02 Feb 2026 15:19:15
Is that off Palace?
02 Feb 2026 15:31:50
I wish him the best, scored some great goals for us, best wishes to him.
02 Feb 2026 15:51:05
Yep, some very important goals too. Nice chap, met him at training last year and he had a lot of time for my lad and gave him his shirt.
02 Feb 2026 16:07:40
Surely we can give them 10 mil and McNeil for mateta 😝.
02 Feb 2026 16:47:52
Hard to believe that we said no thanks!
02 Feb 2026 17:02:15
Mateta might not want to come to us?
02 Feb 2026 17:29:52
Mateta can’t even get through a medical so thank god we’re not in for him. No thanks!
02 Feb 2026 14:11:37
Just a heads up guys, I’m hearing there might be a last minute surprise in the striker department, Juventus still planning to come back for last minute bid for Beto - but we will only let him go if we can get in a replacement either on loan or to buy…trying to find out more here.
02 Feb 2026 15:12:18
Mateta on loan now the AC Milan deal has collapsed? Who else is available?
02 Feb 2026 13:06:56
Carsley reckons George is an ideal number 9 as he has the same attributes as Henry and he has coached him for England.
02 Feb 2026 12:36:02
Villa now in the running for Harry Wilson.
{Ed025's Note - hes a good player GB but we are fine for players in his position mate, we need to look at fullbacks and a striker first for me..
02 Feb 2026 14:32:43
Agree mate.
01 Feb 2026 17:30:52
Tyrique George has decided to join us apparently…he had other options including Benfica, Sunderland and Forest, but has chosen. formalities should be sorted out by tomorrow…excellent young talent, has been described by some in the football world as the next Thierry Henry because of his playing style!
01 Feb 2026 17:50:04
Yep good move that, now for another couple.
01 Feb 2026 17:52:28
Blue steel confirming its a done deal. Loan with an option for 10m apparently.
From memory i can't remember blue steel getting these wrong in the past (maybe be wrong obviously)
01 Feb 2026 18:29:24
Love the optimism GB. Wish I had some of that.
01 Feb 2026 19:06:31
Talksport just said he has been given permission to have his medical with us.
01 Feb 2026 19:09:39
Cropper if it is 10m that is a ridiculous price and fair play to the rec team if true.
01 Feb 2026 19:33:10
10mill is an absolute steal.
01 Feb 2026 19:47:20
6 goals and 6 assists in 37 starts for Chelsea.
01 Feb 2026 19:49:31
You got to be optimistic Blue dev look where we are in the table this Feb to last season mate good times ahead buddy.
{Ed025's Note - thats what we all want GB..
01 Feb 2026 20:10:23
Just hoping it’s not a false dawn GB.
Really could do with a RB before the window slams shut.
01 Feb 2026 20:12:14
Operates on RW so NDaiye back on LW.
01 Feb 2026 20:31:56
Good also to read we are keeping Armstrong for the season.
01 Feb 2026 20:46:01
GB don't get me wrong it's great to not have the stress of relegation hanging around us. It's just the fact we are so close to getting into a Europe spot, I eas just hoping we might have got a few players in to get us over the line potentially.
You just know as soon as that window shuts we will get 2 or 3 injuries a d have 2 keepers and a physio on the bench to make up numbers.
01 Feb 2026 21:04:17
I know mate so close I really want another 2 in as well.
02 Feb 2026 09:05:26
I will be very suprised if we get more than one GB. We don't seem to have the staff or capability of doing more than one at the time. We have needed a right-back and center-forward for several years and now we have one day to do it?
02 Feb 2026 10:39:12
George 19 years old coming in on an initial loan with an option to purchase (for some say 10mil) just emphasises the situation over Dibling 40 million, Maybe with a summer pre season training Dibling should hopefully live up to his potential next season.
02 Feb 2026 11:36:30
George is a good signing. Don’t get me wrong not what most expected I’d imagine. I feel like we’ve missed a trick with the league being so open.
02 Feb 2026 18:36:17
No way it'll be 10 million. Chelsea don't give players away expecially youngsters as good as him.
01 Feb 2026 08:01:12
Petter Hauge latest to be linked today.
01 Feb 2026 15:23:50
Who he?
01 Feb 2026 16:34:54
Jens Petter Hauge - Bodø/Glimt.
Bagged a lovely goal when they thumped City the other week.
01 Feb 2026 17:33:35
Jens Petter Haugue 26 y/o winger for Bodo Glimpt (excuse spelling) Norwegian international since 15 to current full squad from wiki.
01 Feb 2026 17:48:24
Hes a winger from bodo glimt.
01 Feb 2026 17:50:39
Norwegian winger looks good to me.
