Yeah, apparently there is a bit of confusion going about. Apparently he passed the Medical but United want a second opinion. The original source that claimed he failed the medical was an Arsenal Fans twitter account who apparently had a mate in Bolton who heard...

Here is another tweet...

@OliverKayTimes 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

I read that one as well, apparently he passed the English U/21 physical but failed the ManU physical because of a long term dicky knee.

Not officially confirmed yet but just waiting for an announcement. Our sporting director has already quoted that the deal is done.

Villas Boas to Chelski for 7mill over 3 years plus they had to pay Porto 18mill to activate his get out clause, according to Foxsports News.

Thats just ridiculous money but I guess Porto are laughing.

Nope, we're not... We're only days from the start of our season.

Only plus point is that the FC Porto board is so pissed at Chel$ki lack of ethics, that if they want any of our players, they'll have to pay the full clause on the spot. For the 3 they're talking about (Hulk, Falcao and Moutinho), it's the moderate sum of 170 mill euro, or AUD$230 mill... :crazy:

United's transfer policy isnt making any sense to me. Phil Jones is still young and one for the future. And Ashely Young is in no way an upgrade over Nani or Valencia.

So when are they going to go about making themselves a better team to compete with the likes of Barca in the Champs League? They desperately need someone of Sneijders quality and a midfield general to replace the ageing Giggs and inept Michael Carrick.

Well the international transfer window isn't open yet, and United don't say anything in the media about who they want.

Also the talk was of signing three players. This was before the bidding for Jones started so we had to act to get him. Therefore we have signed one of the three. The next one will be a goalie, probably De Gea but you never know.

Lastly we need a central midfielder. We ain't finished yet. One more big name to come. Then our team is ready.

Also Valencia and Nani are so much better on the right, that they will be competing for that position. Carrick is a fantastic player.

Raphael Varane signs with Real Madrid, according to their facebook account.

Also here; http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/s...apture-of-lens-starlet-raphael-varane?cc=3436

So they've signed;
Nuri Sahin
Hamit Altintop
Jose Maria Callejon
Raphael Varane

And who's to bet there are more to come? Sounds like they are cleaning the squad out, which isn't a surprise whatsoever.

Thing I'm happy about is that even though they are still spending a lot of money and buying a lot of players, they aren't throwing crazy amounts at each player per transfer.

Lol they just paid €10m for an 18 year old ffs. The scum are buying players so other teams don't get them like they usually do. Filthy club
