Anyone else see the coverage of the Japan game on News Station last night?

 

Always grates, but they flipping heck TOTALLY ignore the opposition. It's as it there truly were not there. The highlights showed about 7 or 8 chances that Japan had. Some really not valid to be called 'chances'. They showed not one move of the other team. Not sure if they even mentioned their name.

 

Just hate that.

Lots of snatching and swooping going on

ALEX FERGUSON took his summer spending spree to £35million by signing Blackburn's Phil Jones.

 

And the Manchester United boss will not stop there as he rejuvenates his title-winning squad.

 

Jones, 19, had a medical at Carrington yesterday after agreeing a five-year deal initially worth £40,000 a week.

 

Fergie snatched the defender from under Liverpool's nose in a £16.5m swoop.

 

Never heard of him. File under overpriced England player?

 

40k a week at 19 years old. Ace.

So let me get this straight.

 

This Jones fella.

He has a 16 mill. release clause in his contract.

United offer 16 mill.

He says he wants to come, has a medical and expresses no interest in Liverpool or Chelsea. That seems very reasonable.

Dumbass Blackburn owners come out and say that the release clause @ 16 mill. clause was not a release clause at all, it was just the starting number to start discussions. lol

Liverpool, the place he said he doesn't want to go to, come in with a 22mill bid. rollabout

 

doh <<< can I make that bigger somehow?

Daily Mail today:

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.

 

Yeah written by you bunch of mops

Lots of swooping surprisingly early in the transfer window. Liverpool are splashing the cash but its a mystery why Jordan Henderson is worth 20M. I think he might have overtaken Lescott and Milner in the mad money for English player stakes. That's nearly twice what they paid for Meireles.
