[Commadus]

Look we all know about add on clauses - but what is the point of a buy out clause - pretty pointles if you still have to pay above it.

If we got gouged I sincerely hope Blackburn fecking get relegatd they have conducted themselves like cheap hucksters.

We offered 16.5m - an excellent offer but them toe rags wanted more.

Several reports indicated the buy-out clause also required £4m in add-ons.

 

[Allforone]

FFS isnt a couple of million quid of 'potential' add ons worth it if it means we end up winning the league to pay it in the first place and get the player the manager clearly wants?

 

[Red Dreams]

I read somewhere that it could rise to c.£20m if United win the League next year, and Jones' appearances for the England first XI etc.

They appear pretty fair add on's for a player of his potential.

not sure if this is true. But I would not be bothered.

A player that rises to that level?

It's no big deal, it's a few million based SOLEY on us being successful, it's a great deal for all parties and exactly what you should expect a big club to do in this type of situation.

RAWK

Steve Kean the Blackburn manager has just confirmed the transfer fee of £25m which includes addons.

They've resorted to making up blatant lies over there now, this really has hit them hard.

 

[Rado_N]

Can we stop moaning about the fee? We've got him now.

Rio, Owen and Rooney all happy to have him on board.

 

[prateik]

If it wasnt a part of the release clause, then I wouldnt be surprised if its just for show.
like 1m for 100 league games and the rest after winning the treble or something like that.

essentially so Blackburn can label it as a 'club record deal' and show that their owners stood up against the big bad club who dared to trigger the release clause.


Guess we'll never know... The fact that we agreed to it so quickly makes me believe we are quite happy with it and didnt drag it on further, especially considering the player is away for another two weeks and preseason, for this player, wont start for another 6 weeks.

 

[I'm always right]

ha ha ha ha!

They'e been embarrassed tbf and they don't want to admit it.

Like most players with ambition, he wanted to join the countries most successful club.

Yes. Think a few people are worrying too much about Liverpool fans thinking they've got one over on us. Who really gives a shit?

 

[Allforone]

Just to confirm what Steve Keane actually DID say:

When asked on the fee for Jones Keane said live on SSN " with all the tip bits and add ons you get in contracts these days it could potentially reach the 20 million mark"

 

[Rahul]

How can it possible be £25m with add ons. Surely bollocks.

 

[Irwinwastheking]

Lets hope he's all he's cracked up to be.

 

[sincher]

Nope, the following players can play right back

Rafael
Fabio
Jones
Smalling


The following players can play left back

Fabio
Evra
Evans

That's more than enough.

I don't think O'Shea will leave anyway. Why would he want to? He'd have to take a big pay cut, and he's still getting games. He'd have to be told that he was no longer part of our plans and I'm not sure SAF will do that.

 

[Allforone]

How can it possible be £25m with add ons. Surely bollocks.

Its not 25 million with add ons, its just scousers trying to make themselves feel better after being given the finger twice by the player despite offering more money.

Thank you ! THAT sounds more likely.

 

[ERICSAGOD]

According to Sunday's paper, Liverpool have now offered £22 million!

Arsenal and Chelsea both sniffing around apparently.

I am sure Rafael could play LB at a stretch

[Randall Flagg]

Goes to show what a cracking deal we got with Smalling last summer. I reckon Fulham are kicking themselves right now

 

[Commadus]

Several reports indicated the buy-out clause also required £4m in add-ons.

Which reports are these?

Links?

Yeah Kenny is into sadomasochistic necrophiliac bestiality. He loves flogging a dead horse.

 

[Ace]

Welcome to United Phil, your life begins now.

 

[golden_blunder]

add ons or no add ons, who the feck cares?

we now have the 2 most exciting English CB prospects around. Well done Fergie

 

[Commadus]

So did Pool feck us up on this? Trying to life the bid amount as payback for SAF comment re Adams?

 

[Allforone]

Yup, set for the next 10 years at least, perfect.

 

[Allforone]

If by 'feck us up' you mean get told to bugger off by the player in question they desperately wanted then yes.

 

[Allforone]

On a side not Keane revealed Jones told Blackburn he wanted champions league football so Liverpool were never in the running.

 

[I'm always right]

So did Pool feck us up on this? Trying to life the bid amount as payback for SAF comment re Adams?

no. It's still 16.5m.

 

[Bryan_Munich]

Are you on a wind-up?

 

[I'm always right]

If by 'feck us up' you mean get told to bugger off by the player in question they desperately wanted then yes.

despite lobbing as much cash as they could at it... priceless

 

[Commadus]

no. It's still 16.5m.

Good.

Now what shirt number does he get.

Can't wait to get a De Gea shirt.

 

[Allforone]

I can just imagine Dalglish in his office when Jones and his agent tells him to stick his 22 million offer:

"no one does this to me im Kenny Dalglish who the feck do you think you are!"

 

[I'm always right]

good.

Now what shirt number does he get.

32

 

[I'm always right]

Can't wait to get a De Gea shirt.

oh oh... I know this one.


number 1

 

[Escobar]

Who gives a shit if its 16 with add-ons, as that means we have either won trophies or he has played a lot of games for United. Happy he's on board

 

[An Irish Red]

I can just imagine Dalglish in his office when Jones and his agent tells him to stick his 22 million offer:

"no one does this to me im Kenny Dalglish who the feck do you think you are!"

Don't speak about such a classy, dignified, superior (did I mention classy?) man in such a way.

 

[Rado_N]

oh lulz

 

[Sean_RedDevil]

He`ll be a world-class player in 2-3 years.

The lad has so much potential.
