I hope they have offered £22m and still don't get the player!

And the funniest thing would be that Liverpool need him in his natural position more than we do.
Egg white agree.
Cocks out?!
Exactly, surely you see the folly on both sides with this deal? If you didn't buy Jones you could always have bought another winger.
So its official then?
You need one of those even more.
nice one mate
Why would a Sunday mirror journalist receive a text from Phil Jones's agent? Did Fergie receive the same text too?
Do these Blackburn owners even have a clue of what they're doing? At all? Doesn't seem so.
I'm pretty confident he's our man. No need to flap about it

City you could imagine throwing a spanner in the works for a laugh, they have, after all, done it before, but surely Liverpool have more class than that?
So was that stuff from the mirror journo on twitter all bollocks then seeing as no one else has said a word about it being done??
Journalists, and agents can be very useful to each other for their respective trades. Journalist to big up an agents client, deliberate leaks, and in return agents give journos inside information (ITK).
Yeah but its still hilarious as it probably means Carragher and Skirtel at CB for you guys for another season. If that costs 16mil its a price worth paying.
We may also end up converting him to a DM which given the right education he may eventually be more suited to due to his slight lack of height(5'11 apparently so not a midget and as tall as Gallas).
Well, Liverpool have signed another Jones...

I reckon we'll find out tomorrow. The guy specifies that he doesn't deal in speculation so it seems hopeful.
You should have started a thread titled 'Liverpool to sign Jones'.
Link?
His passed his medical, he's agreed terms. Don't think he's going anywhere else. Are the media trying to mess up our 'young national teams hopes now aswell'
I reckon Venkey's holding up transfer was all just speculation.
Are they even in the UK?

It's still not done now, nearly 4 days on from him agreeing a contract and passing a medical, there is clearly something holding it up and this is as strong a rumour/explanation as you'll find.
Whether they are here or not doesn't matter, all it needs is their refusal to sanction it and it'll continue to drag on, whether they are here, in India, Timbuktoo, or Mars.
There is a very good chance they are on Mars, they are certainly not on this planet!
I wonder if both sides would be open to the idea of Jones staying on loan for a season at Blackburn if there is something wrong with this deal. Afterall we wanted him for next season and have moved because of other teams interest. And Blackburn would have a player their owners value at £25 million for a season... Seems like that would suit both parties if theres a problem
we will not give them a penny more.

There have been more hitches and surprises in Phil Jones / #mufc move today, but deal should go through, finally, tmrw.

There was word of this earlier on.
However, relationships might be strained after what seems to be going on, dont know if the 2 parties will be too keen on doing each other a favour, despite it seemingly being a win-win.

I would laugh my self silly if the Daily Mail story about renewed bids from Liverpool and Arsenal being higher than ours. I find it unlikely, as I'm sure they'd be aware of the release clause as well
And even more so, would know of Jones' desire to go to United seeing as medical has been passed, and more importantly, terms agreed

Blackburn/Venkys/advisers whatever clearly did not realise the value of the asset they had.
Now that there is all the interest, they feel foolish and want to make United look like the bad guys in this deal.

The muppet in me is dying. Need a signing to be announced by nex week. Any signing. I don't care if it's re-signing Djemba-Djemba.
If Liverpool did indeed make a bid to try and drive up the price, then that's as shallow as it gets I'm afraid. They'd offically join City in the existing only to obsess/try to win hollow battles over United category.
Somebody should write an article about how obsessed they are with us after we got to 19, and how Dalglish is rattled by Fergie based on this obviously damning evidence..
How else would you describe it? They obviously held and interest in the player but he made his choice and it wasn't them, the fact they may have made a bigger offer presumably after catching wind of Venky's retardedness just to screw us out of an extra few quid is small-time.
I bet their Phil Jones thread got re-opened on RAWK, with lots of posts of how "It's on"
Yeah, they are trying to jack the price up for us. They clearly lost the player.
