Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has hit out at new Tottenham signing John Bostock.
"John Bostock's father has told me on three occasions that John will be signing for Palace. Next thing I know he's going to Tottenham.
"We have been told by John Bostock's father that some mythical member of staff at our place has told John that Neil Warnock doesn't want him playing in his team because he doesn't fit our style.
"That is a complete lie. Neil Warnock has a track record of playing 16 and 17-year-old kids. He didn't sign a young Australian international specifically because John Bostock told us he was signing a contract with us.
"We didn't sign a player to put him in front of John Bostock to hamper his development.
"John Bostock would have got in our first team and would have learned his trade in our first team. I'm not so sure he'll get the opportunities at Tottenham in the immediate future that his talent may well need to be nurtured."
