Nice one, atleast that is sorted!!!
Who had June 13th in the prediction thread?
Will be completed when he returns from international duty, much like De gea then.
Our new number 4 is welcome.
Yes! Welcome, Phil Jones.About damn time we sealed this transfer. For his age he's quite an accomplised defender and his versatility should make him a useful asset as well.
Now, on to the next one.
So thats:
Ferdinand
Vidic
Jones
Smalling
As our 4 centre backs, surely no other club boasts a better set of defenders than that?

Smalling-Jones. I like the sound of that.
Evans? Fergie still rates him.
Plus Evans. And yes, nobody has that much talent at CB.
You missed out Evans. Do you expect him to be going somewhere?
Good news. A really top talent.
Yeah sorry i forgot about Evans although i must admit i do wonder where his future lies now, maybe hes seen more as a left back to cover Evra? dont see him getting much game time at centre back now.

fee is probably midway between the united valuation and theirs.

It'll be the release clause plus a few potential add ons over time id imagine, something of a sweetner.
Who cares anyway, its done, thank christ i think ive heard about as many chicken jokes as i can stand!

yeah. that's how it will be.

Glad this is finally done and dusted, it was in danger of dragging on for ages.

Good news. Always is when we sign a young talent with potential to make him into the player thats suited for Manchester United.
Happy with this signing.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Jones playing at centre midfield a lot in his first season with us.

Barcelona doesn't! they can get away with Mascherano there! Now its time for some midfield re-inforcements.
4 days early ffs! You were meant to confirm on the 17th so i'd win!!!
First signing for us and and by all accounts a fantastic one.
Smalling/Jones partnership for United and England

Barcelona dont need defenders, they're never without the ball long enough to let it bother them.
Great signing, might be a lot of money now but if he fulfills his potential and stays here for the next 15 years then it's worth it.
Glad it's finally confirmed and we can move on now to others. Welcome to Manchester United
Good propsect, looked real good against us a few times. Can't wait for the new season now already.

I assume De Gea deal will be done. Anyone think we need to get a fullback inlight of possible Sheesey leaving and no Gaz and the fact Evra been flat for a while - he probably needs some competition.Ferguson builds his team from defence.
None better in the world....
Sky Sports insinuated that we only payed the release clause, due to Jones telling Blackburn he didn't want to go anywhere except for United, leaving them with no choice.
In the last 12 months we've basically sewn up our defence for potentially the next decade.
Nice
...............De Gea
Rafael - Smalling - Jones - Fabio
Not one of them a day over 21 im right in thinking?

Can't see why anyone would think that we'd pay OVER the release clause
Hopefully now we will never have to play Carrick and Fletcher as central defenders away at Fulham.
Youd be surprised, RAWK seem to think their bid meant something and made us up ours....Not according to Sky. Jones completes United move | Blackburn Rovers News, Fixtures, Results, Transfers | Sky Sports
