...and selling him to Everton, one of our better bits of business.

Don't know the finances but certainly happy to get rid. Delighted.
Always came across as a nice lad, but he was proper, proper rubbish for us. I think the speed at which we've looked to ship him out of the club says it all. It will be interesting to see if he does ever find any form again. Fully expecting him to have a blinder against us first game of the season, but then maybe Everton fans will be thinking the same about McNeil.
It'll be interesting if we ever hear of the finances involved in this deal... Some talk of Everton taking over a 20m debt to Spurs. That'd be nice but feels like very wishful thinking!

Akinbiyi and Padovano both breathe a sigh of relief as they slide further down the list

I'd say Johnson was stinking up the place with a poor attitude. Hopefully, this lifts the whole squad.
Never seen us so desperate to get rid of someone unless I'm forgetting.

Shocking player. Thank God he’s gone.

Agree with you on this - moving on a £35m signing after 6 months is some statement.
I wonder if Sage has had a look at him pre-season and just told the club to get rid at any cost...
When you factor in the fee we paid, for me he's certainly our worst ever signing.

And Valerean Ismael, you know you’ve got an expensive donkey on your hands when he gets out classed by Carl Leaburn

There'd been rumours of a lifestyle at odds with an elite footballer.
The club got shot of him rapidly.
Would anyone be surprised if it became clear he was substance abusing?

Paul Bodin / Marco Gabbiadini/ Glyn Hodges
That's called trolling , thats what that smells off , and if its substance abuse how did he pass his medical , and surly Palace have duty and care to the player and get him in rehab ,

Shame about Gabbiadini because he was a good goalscorer before us but he just didn’t fit into the lump it upfield for Ian wright to chase system,🤣 he just didn’t have the pace

A bit harsh on Bodin: didn't we stop picking him because any further starts would trigger a hefty add on to the transfer fee?

Crikey, when you think back Palace could have registered themselves as a Donkey Sanctuary and saved a fortune in taxes.

He turned out to be a class player after he left us though.

Really?? I’ve got to admit you made me google him for his career after us and apart from Lens he didn’t stay anywhere long enough to be ‘class’ no international caps either

League and cup doubles both with Werder Bremen and Bayern where he was a fixture in the first XI of both winning teams. Agreed no long service with any one club after Lens.
I think with Thuram/Desailly/Blanc/Le Boeuf/Silvestre and doubtless many others he would have struggled to get many international caps in his prime years.
