'About my transfer to Crystal Palace, I can say that I'm very happy the move failed.'
Sometimes, with hindsight, it's probably best to just say nothing at all. Cenk Tosun has some making up to do should his loan move to Selhurst Park go through.
Two years ago, Tosun was the man with the world at his feet. After banging them in for Besiktas in his homeland, he commanded a £27million fee in a move to Everton.
Plenty of clubs were in for him - Palace included - but he plumped for Goodison Park in January of last year, with the club eyeing European football in the months ahead.
