Jones tells Blackburn he wants Man Utd - not Liverpool
12.06.11 | tribalfootball.com

Blackburn Rovers defender Phil Jones isn't interested in a move to Liverpool.

The Sunday Telegraph says on Saturday morning, the transfer took a dramatic twist when Liverpool stepped in with a counter offer for Jones, who has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave for offers of more than £16 million.

Liverpool’s bid is believed to have been around £6 million more than that of United, and was therefore welcomed by Blackburn’s owners, who dispute United’s interpretation of the clause.

They think an offer of £16 million merely allows a club to talk to Jones, and have decided that if the player is determined to leave, they should aim to have an auction for his services.

But Jones has told Blackburn he wants to join United rather than Liverpool, and the Old Trafford club are convinced that the detail of Jones's contract means they will succeed in completing his signing within a matter of hours.

Phil Jones transfer to Man Utd confirmed by his agent

Defender to be unveiled in the next 48 hours

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.

However, an article by Sporting Intelligence claims that Manchester United have indeed increased their offer to £20.5m even though the buy-out clause was correctly reported at £16.5m. Why would United agree to pay £4m more than they were obliged to? According to the article it was done to make the transfer happen as soon as possible and to avoid going down an acrimonious path.

“A crucial fact that muddied the waters is United appeared to know precise details about the terms of the release before Rovers had given any club permission to speak to the player. The only way United could have known this is if Rovers had told them – and sources insist they didn’t – or if somebody else told them when they shouldn’t have done so under the letter of the transfer laws.

This fact, as well as Liverpool’s offer of £22m, gave Rovers some traction in negotiations. Well-placed senior sources in India have made it clear that a tapping-up complaint against Manchester United was an option open to them.

If Manchester United felt they were on solid ground with their £16.5m deal and no more, that’s what they’d be paying. But they’re not paying that. That’s why the deal has been agreed at £20.5m. They are paying more to make the deal happen now.”

As always, one has to take these assertion by people “in the know” with a pinch of salt. If Jones becomes as good as several people have said he can, he might well be worth the extra £4m. Do I believe United paid £4m more than they had to?

Why not? It seems unlikely, but if they are certain of his ability as well as potential it only makes sense to conclude the business as soon as possible and avoid any clubs from hijacking the deal. On the other hand, the player had already agreed terms with the club. Even if Blackburn had lodged a complaint, the deal would have to go through by the letter of the law.

This deal has cast Blackburn’s hierarchy in a bad light and will only make Blackburn’s future targets very wary of signing with a club that conducts itself in such a manner and does not adhere to the terms & conditions it had agreed to. On Man Utd’s part, it looks like the club has a definitive plan and are dead certain about the players who must be acquired in order to continue winning trophies and that is very pleasing.

Jones price is right as United win cash battle to sign Blackburn defender
By Chris Wheeler, dailymail 12th June 2011

Phil Jones will finally move to Manchester United after the Barclays Premier League champions refused to budge on their £16.5million offer for the Blackburn defender.

Following a meeting with manager Steve Kean in India, Rovers owners Venky’s admitted defeat in their attempts to force United to pay more.

There were suggestions the deal could be in jeopardy or that United might at least agree to pay various add-ons that could push the eventual figure past £20m.

But they are sticking to the £16.5m release clause in the 19-year-old’s contract, safe in the knowledge that Blackburn are powerless to stop him leaving.

Venky’s had attempted to block the deal, claiming they would not be bullied into accepting United’s bid for a player they value at £25m when there were other offers from Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham.

However, they were forced to accept that the clause — inserted into Jones’s contract in February — had been ratified by their own executives and could not be challenged.

The situation was further complicated by Liverpool lodging a new £22m bid over the weekend, but Jones’s desire to join United meant his move to Old Trafford was never in doubt.

In a further twist, Venky’s are suspicious that United knew the exact figure of the release clause, and considered calling in the Premier League to investigate if an illegal approach had been made.

There are similarities with Christian Ziege’s departure from Middlesbrough in 2000, when Liverpool signed the Germany full back for the £5.5m release clause in his contract even though Chelsea and Rangers were offering £8m.

Liverpool Siap Bajak Jones dari MU

Liverpool, detiksport - Belum resminya transfer Phil Jones ke Manchester United membuat klub lain masih memiliki kesempatan untuk menggaetnya. Inilah yang dikabarkan tengah berusaha dilakukan Liverpool.

Belakangan ramai dikabarkan bahwa MU siap menggaet Jones dari Blackburn Rovers. Nilainya pun tak main-main. Beberapa media Inggris menyebut, The Red Devils siap mengeluarkan dana hingga 16 juta poundsterling.

Deal tersebut pada akhirnya memang belum terjadi, meski beberapa sumber menyebutkan bahwa Jones tinggal melalui tes medis saja. Di sinilah kesempatan The Reds untuk membajaknya muncul.

Director of Football Liverpool, Damien Comolli, telah mengatakan bahwa klubnya belum akan berhenti untuk membeli pemain. Hal ini dilakukan untuk menambah kedalaman skuad mereka musim depan--seperti apa yang diinginkan sang bos, John W. Henry.

Sejauh ini Liverpool sudah mendapatkan pemain muda U-21 Inggris, Jordan Henderson. Jika jadi mendapatkan Jones, maka tiga tangkapan terakhir 'Si Merah', setelah Andy Carroll dan Henderson, semuanya adalah orang Inggris.

Berapa nilai yang diajukan oleh Liverpool? ESPN Star menyebut nilai yang lebih besar dari MU, yakni 22 juta poundsterling.

Dari sumber yang sama, Blackburn sendiri juga menegaskan bahwa Jones masih menjadi milik mereka. Siapa yang akan menjadi pemilik bek berusia 19 tahun itu berikutnya adalah mereka yang bisa memberikan penawaran terbaik.
