Great, £16M for someone I've never heard of...
I'm not very good at this transfer Muppet game am I?
Okay, how did you do this? You hacked the Chinese version somehow?
The last line with a google translate:
This is brilliant.
Me tlanslate fol you
Phil Jones complete move flom Blackbuln lovels to Manchestel United fol fee - vely high!
Liking this kid already.
Woop!
just out of curiosity are you guys getting infractions for saying this? you are like the 10th guy i saw saying that, but whenever i say it i get infractions. Its like it is illegal to say words "jew" and "christmas" in same sentence.
Okay, guess this isn't too helpful...
I'll do a rough translation:
Manchester United has confirmed signing defender Phil Jones from Blackburn.
Phil Jones becomes United's first summer signing in 2011.
The club made an official announcement confirming the transfer on Jun 8:
"Manchester United are pleased to announce coming to an agreement with Blackburn. Phil Jones has signed a 5 year deal, the transfer fee is undisclosed.
The player has agreed personal terms and passed a medical in Manchester today.
Some other stuff about his appearance record for Blackburn and playing for England U21 in Denmark.

Apparently he turned down more money at Arsenal to go to us.
He's a North West lad too... its only half an hour in the car to drive back to Blackburn where he lives
you should follow premier league mate.
No, you get infractions because you are Valentino. Don't get it confused with other trivial matters.
Nothing that complicated, just saw it on a Hong Kong forum and clicked the link.
Is that Chinese site real? Shouldn't it be ManUtd.com.cn? ManUnited.com isn't even a site owned by the club (or at least it doesn't redirect to the official site).
If you to the chinese site there is no such page. So which one of you guys made that page?
ManUtd.com links to ManUnited.com.cn when you change the language, so it's real.
That's the address of the official Chinese site. Try it.
Seriously Colin?
Strange how it isn't on the .com site then.
Yes it's real. You can check it by changing the language in the top right corner on the official site.
Hm, I've done that and now can't find that article anywhere on the front page.
are you chinese man?
why would they make chines announcement sooner than english.
Ethnically yes... not a fan of the Chinese government though.
It's definitely the official site. But why isn't it on the English version..?
There is nothing on the Chinese site. Just go to the site and see it your self.
Just had a look on the official Chinese site. Didn't see anything about Jones there. Already taken off?
The date on the Chinese article is 01 January 2011 anyway.
The feck?
The feck?
Very interesting signing
Totally came out of the blue when we started seeing news of this story at work. It's surprising as it's not really a position I thought we'd be looking at, perhaps that Varane (as he looked a young option at a lower price)
Makes me wonder if we're intending to use him initially as a midfielder.
Plus, shows we're probably going to spend quite a substantial amount this summer, as there does seem to still be a couple of positions we need to strengthen, probably another midfielder and then De Gea and Young

Cleverley -->Clay Village, Welbeck --> Virginia Baker... Google translate is a disaster when it comes to oriental languages.
the deal is done no need for the needless squabble over a chinese website.....
This transfer seemed to happen out of nowhere. What is the general consensus on us signing Jones? Do we need another defender?
It might be a draft of the official announcement - to be published the moment the club gives the green light - which some clever hacker found in the depths of the site.
Good signing IMO.Competition for places is never a bad thing at the club for one.Secondly, Rio is not guaranteed to get through a season anymore...well a Utd season anyway with all the competitions we have.That leaves Vidic,Smalling and Evans, who some feel isn't the player we saw a couple of years back. With Wes likely to move on,having a good young,versatile player like Jones makes sense

Smolin=Sneijder in Google-Chinese! Cocks out!
Great, we've signed the Village People.
