United seal Jones deal
Phil Jones is set to become United's first signing of summer 2011 after the Reds successfully negotiated a transfer with his current club Blackburn Rovers.
A club statement published on Monday reads as follows:
"Manchester United is delighted to announce it has signed an agreement with Blackburn Rovers for the transfer of Phil Jones.
"The player passed a medical in Manchester last week and has agreed a 5-year contract. The deal will be completed once the player returns from international duty."
Jones, 19, came through the youth ranks at Blackburn before turning professional on 1 July 2009. He made his senior debut two months later, in a Carling Cup victory at Nottingham Forest, and went on to make a total of 40 appearances for Rovers.
The robust central defender, who can also play in midfield, has been capped seven times so far by England at Under-21 level. The latest appearance was in Denmark on Sunday, when he started alongside new club colleagues Tom Cleverley, Chris Smalling and Danny Welbeck in the 1-1 draw with Spain in the UEFA Under-21 Championships.
Blackburns current record is £18mil for Santa Cruz, so could be £20mil+ we've paid for himAs is the norm with #mufc transfers, the fee is "undisclosed". Blackburn, however, have reported it as a "potential club record deal".
The keywords are potential record deal. Looks like it's that 16.5M plus the Clauses deal.Blackburns current record is £18mil for Santa Cruz, so could be £20mil+ we've paid for him
Apparently it's for not one penny more than £16.5mHmm i hope we didn't pay more than £16.5m. fecking Venkys.
I hope we pay the full fee with all the add-ons and potential payments.Hmm i hope we didn't pay more than £16.5m. fecking Venkys.
Why when the £16m clauses had been exercised. Blackburn can go feck themselves.I hope we pay the full fee with all the add-ons and potential payments.
I bet GlastonSpur will still quote £20.5m.Apparently it's for not one penny more than £16.5m
Its already the mantra on RAWKI bet GlastonSpur will still quote £20.5m.
Price still 16 mil?
Like he has a fecking clue in the first place.They'll say it is.
It blatantly isn't though.
I read that as 16 + add-ons, so there is the potentialBlackburns current record is £18mil for Santa Cruz, so could be £20mil+ we've paid for him
You silly ballbag. Your bid wasn't enough, we made a larger one, you had to match it to push the transfer through. It's clear to anyone with half a brain that you weren't getting him for £16m.
But like I said, you'll say it was £16m because basically you're all idiots.
Because the add-ons are subject to future success, ie winning the Premier League and possibly even the Champions League, so if we end up paying it all I'll be chuffed to bits.Why when the £16m clauses had been exercised. Blackburn can go feck themselves.
Potential record according to Blackburn themselves, which means it can go over £17.5m if he does the business.Apparently the deal is £16.5mil according to SkySports

On the phone now on SSN.
blackburn offered Jones the 'biggest contract in Blackburn rovers history'
Jones wanted CL football now. Blackburn will be at that level in a few years, but arent close to it now
with addons, games+winning trophies+ other bs, fee will be potentially 20m
basically, 16.5m and maybe a few more in a few years time..
How? The add-ons were in the original buy-out clause.So we got had by some chicken farmers.
Where does it say that?How? The add-ons were in the original buy-out clause.
So Liverpool's bid did drive the price up for us. Did we really just cave in under pressure from Blackburn?Steve Kean and his wife holidaying in Jaipur, India.
