What does it say?
That's because it quickly became clear we were the only club that Rooney wanted to play for, so Newcastle, realising they had no chance, had the decency and self-respect not to pursue the issue.
Newcastle, more self-respect than Liverpool it seems! Liverpool are too bitter and desperate to let the fact the player doesn't want to play for them stand in their way. They're like a woman scorned.
For the seventh time in last five days.
I think there's a bit of a myth surrounding what we pay young players - it's a little bit more, but it's hardly a huge amount.
Not to bring this into a debate about tactics, but Arsenal defend poorly in my view as a result of the style of our game, not as a direct result of the quality of our defenders. I've said before we could have 4 Ballon D'Or winners at the back, and we'd still leak goals.
Jones chose United because firstly you're a better team right now, and he's probably been convinced of his route to the first team. And whilst London is attractive, if you're from Blackburn, it's more likely that United will be the preferred choice of the player. There are numerous reasons for which Jones chose United, and you can't blame him really.
That's weird, I can see it no problem.
It just takes me to the home page.
It says Wenger is spitting feathers basically.
Pardon me, is the release clause something like the "buy-now" price on ebay?

NOTW has a pay wall.

Nah, he's alright really. Just his watered down Storey-isms get a tad boring. He's like Pete's little sister or something
Rubbish. There's no way we'd have signed both Samba and Jones. They just made that up.
What is a watered-down Storey-ism?Nah, he's alright really. Just his watered down Storey-isms get a tad boring. He's like Pete's little sister or something
Your little wind-upsWhat is a watered-down Storey-ism?
If NOTW says it's done then it's definitely not done.
If only Ramsey had flown to France instead of us sending T Bag to greet him
His agent.
ESPN saying deal is done for around 20m now.
Don't understand
Surely if the buy-out clause is set to 16.5m then surely that can't be negotiated ?

£16.5m deal, rising to almost £20m apparently.
16.5 going up to 20million with his success.
I wish we get a confirmation on a transfer, Three transfers and none are confirmed
Was hoping for a nice relaxing Summer with business done early.

When we win #20 next year and we have to pay out this new reported success clause, scousers will claim credit.
It will be like they won something too.

Joke's on them. When we win the title, we'll just say "Oh yeah, that add-on clause was just to enable you to talk to him about the clause. In fact, you'll have to pay us £6m".
United fans : feck yeah, #20!! Champions!
Scousers : United pay 3.5M more for Jones and Reina wins the Golden Glove Award, feck yeah, Next year is ours, KK Rulz!! Fergie is quaking!!
Any new nuggets of information on this guy? I hope he'll soon become a (Rhode Island) Red. Fergie might try him out on the wings. If Blackburn do decide to launch a legal action, it will be settled when it goes up before the beak.
I can actually see that happening down on good old RAWK.....
That kit is soooooooooo last season!

The link doesnt work because you have to register to NOTW. If you arent, you'll get redirected to the homepage
I expect it to be completed. Dont see why we'd agree to pay more than the release clause, unless we are paying it FM style, in installments
10m up front.
6.5m over the next 24 months
2m for winning the CL
1m for winning the league
0.5m for 5 caps for England

I'm not registered and I can see it perfectly.
I posted the full article anyway.
The add-ons may well have been part of the original agreement.

This quote from a transfer gossip site made me laugh.
Paul Smith, the chief football reporter for the Sunday Mirror, has intimated that the agent of Phil Jones has confirmed his client's transfer to Manchester United. In a text received by Smith, the defender's agent disclosed the following information:
"I expect the deal to be formally announced in the next 48 hours. The buy-out clause put in by BRFC cannot be challenged
He added the player was given permission by BRFC to speak to four clubs who met the buy-out clause and he opted for MUFC. It would make no difference to the player if LFC offered more money at this stage. He has joined United in the best interest of his career
just thought i would post this to shut up littlepool who are getting very frustrated because a very very good player in jones has already turned them dowm flat
i have a feeling that untill jones scores a goal against them next season the fools will still think they have a chance of signing him
muppets

Whats all this crap on ESPN about us giving them 20.5 million now? especially since his agent has just confirmed the buy out clause is soild and not challengable.
Its comedy gold over on that RAWK thread, they are genuinely delirious they've basically made fools of themselves all to try and make us pay a couple of quid more which has failed dramatically, is this what weve reduced the once great Liverpool to? small time token gesture bids to try and make us pay more for a player whos already told them he doesn't want to play for them?
And does this ironically prove a that Kenny Dalglish is utterly obsessed by us that hes trying such tactics in the first place? have we got his arse squeaking or something?

feck Venky and feck splurging £20m on Jones. FFS they bought Blackurn for about £50m.
See above.
I don't mind us offering a few extra millions based on success and appearances just to end this quickly. If it all works out, he's worth it. If it doesn't, they're not going to get it.
I do expect the headlines will make any future clauses be watertight, though.

It's possible that those add-ons were part of the original deal anyway.
I would imagine the add-ons were always part of the deal.
Why? If we thought there was a 16.5m clause and offered 16.5m, why would we be kind enough to add such clauses?
Agreed, i fancy IF it is true that we've basically said to Blackburn we'll chuck in a few potential success/performance related instalments to sweeten the deal and get this shit over with, the basic figure is the release clause.
