Rejecting Arsenal and Liverpool for ManU was a good call IMO.

Hoping this is good for the national team now too Very Happy

And he rejected Spurs and a couple of other teams according to 'Arry

I am not gonna be a bitter asshole and say enjoy the bench Very Happy

I really liked him, but hopefully he loses his ability and potential over night now :coffee:

Well its all logical to me he gets CL football gets to play with Smalling and learn/play with Vidic + Rio.

More likely to win silverware too.

Can't argue with you there. Don't blame him for going to United. Even with a not so great side they won the league in the end.

I'm not nearly as disappointed as some Liverpool fans because of my own ignorance. I've barely seen him play so I haven't really witnessed the qualities in him that others are talking about.

i'm just waiting to see how much Man Utd paid for him....

No, no i think that 17m is the perfect price for him. Wenger shouldnt expect to get him for 10m hahaha.

i thought that Fergie would pay 25-30m...

by Guest Wed Jun 08, 2011 7:57 pm

^
It was his release clause man. If he didn't have it, he would have been more expensive!!

He just happened to choose United which is acceptable for people of his age, because they grew up watching United winning everything.

Rumour is Arsenal had a 16m+ bid accepted for him , but he chose United . Wenger was prepared to spend 16m on the guy .

by NiallQuinnsdiscoPants Wed Jun 08, 2011 10:28 pm

apparently he has failed his medical

by Albiceleste Wed Jun 08, 2011 10:30 pm

Yup, this is true he has failed his medical

by Albiceleste Wed Jun 08, 2011 10:30 pm

No details given for why Jones reportedly failed medical but possibly connected to hamstring problem suffered in December

by Guest Wed Jun 08, 2011 10:31 pm

How can he fail a medical that was passed by Owen Hargreaves ??

this just got interesting

by RED Wed Jun 08, 2011 10:32 pm

^^ It's a just a rumour started on Twitter. Failed a medical yet he is on the plane to play for the U21 team?

It's just lame a rumor.

by Albiceleste Wed Jun 08, 2011 10:34 pm

Well apparently BBC Radio Lancashire said he failed his medical

by RED Wed Jun 08, 2011 10:36 pm

If this has any weight, it will be a minor complication and he will get another medical, everything will get sorted.

He has He has featured for B'Burn since December IIRC and is heading for the Euro u21 with the England team.

I stick with this story being nothing but a rumor.

by RED Wed Jun 08, 2011 10:39 pm

From Mirror writer Annie Eaves off of Twitter-

PHIL JONES MEDICAL: Personally I think it's either a) Rubbish OR b) Not enough time to do further checks required for insurance. So delay.

--------------------

I totally agree.

by Jamin Wed Jun 08, 2011 10:56 pm

Oliver Kay from the Times Newspaper just tweeted:
'For those asking re Phil Jones #MUFC deal, he's just arrived at England U21 camp and he's in high spirits. "Rumour" appears to be rubbish'

by Amar Wed Jun 08, 2011 11:11 pm

Well if he's failed his medical, he's perfect for Arsenal.

by Abramovich Thu Jun 09, 2011 12:48 am

ManU have some strange medical, who remembers when Carroll was signed? What medical haha.
