Potential World Cup winning midfielder…one of the best in the EPL right now…show us your £150m+, Citeh! Good luck negotiating with the big Greek fella, too. #NFFC
🚨 Manchester City are prepared to make a very important financial proposal to Elliot Anderson, leading the race as revealed since March.
Manchester United still attentive and keen if Man City deal won’t happen.
Nothing advanced with Forest yet.

Here’s an idea, why don’t @SkyFootball pilot getting pundits to do the talking rather than salty Spurs fans. No neutrality here at all. Embarrassing punditry. #NFFC#THFC#WHUFC
@footballontnt@CallumCastel7 And yet neither he nor Danny Welbeck are anywhere near the England squad but Dominic Solanke is 🤷♂️ Make it make sense #NFFC
@NFFC@premierleague Why is Big John still in and Big Wily isn’t? Why do we need four keepers - one calamitous at that - at the expense of a defender 🤷♂️ #NFFC
Crystal Palace initially entered into negotiations with Everton over Dwight McNeil anticipating the 26-year-old would cost around £10m-£12m.
The negotiations that followed pushed up that price but, once their own sale of Jean-Philippe Mateta to Milan fell through, Palace pivoted to a loan with £20m obligation structure for the winger. Even then, the potential fee was deemed far too good to turn down for a player who will enter the final year of his deal this summer.
McNeil travelled to complete a medical, terms were thrashed out and a deal sheet was submitted. All seemed in order, with ample time left to complete the move.
Then came the final cruel twist.
Palace’s paperwork to rubber-stamp the transfer never arrived. That was the first indication both to the player and Everton that all was not right. And at that stage, it was already too late.
It was only through their lack of communication that it became apparent Palace did not intend to proceed with a deal for McNeil.

@forestmad80 Change to what pal? What good will another change be now? The only decent change would be if the big man sacks off Edu and that’s not going to happen is it?
Nottingham Forest make official complaint to PGMOL over key refereeing decisions against Manchester City.
#NFFC have also asked for audio of match officials’ conversations.
