I've heard both. Either way, I don't think it was planned for this season. Had to do it quickly as the fact that it went from zero to medical in a few hours would suggest.

So when do we get to see our future centre half pairing in action? Do they have a game this weekend?
Yeah - vs Spain. Massive test.
I wonder (in an roundabout kind of way) what this means for Diouf. Either we like him and he'll come back, or Blackburn don't fancy him at all. Would have been logical for him to have been involved in the deal.
Nothing on BBC Radio Lancashire webpage,and in all honesty,Rumours are in Sky territory, not the BBC.
we could have quite a few of our lads on show on sunday.
jones, smalling, cleverly (off the bench), welbeck, de gea (for spain).
To be fair, we need someone proven. Jones, as good as he might be in the future, isn't what we need now. He's a very good player for his age, but we can't deal with potential anymore. United can afford to take that risk, since you have Rio and Vidic as a first-choice CB pairing. I'd have been disappointed if Jones was our big summer signing. Wenger might have played his cards a tad too late, but I don't think Jones was ever his primary target, and I doubt he'd lose sleep over it.
Failed the medical? Really?
Samba will be a better option for Arsenal at this moment in time. The sort of guy who will bully opposition players, something which Arsenal lack at the moment.
I don't know if it's been mentioned but he seems a little short for a CB with only 5'11. Still only 19 though, so could grow a bit.
Has anyone heard BBC Lancashire? Twitter thinks he's failed his medical...
Samba or Cahill are the type of guys we need to be looking at. Knowing Wenger though, he'd be more likely to pluck someone out of obscurity in Ligue 2...saying that, I think he's realised that he needs to spend some serious dough on the right players.
And possibly with DeGea to watch on the other end.
This rumour is building on Twitter, nothing on BBC Lancashire website
Well something must be up the day of his medical is almost over and no confirmation!
I think Obertan failed his medical, didn't he? He had some spinal issues that United got him a doctor for. I think.
Unless he has drastic heart problems means nothing..
I'm hearing that we just need a second opinion on a previous injury. So that would mean the medical hasn't been failed, it's just yet to be completed.
(this is still rumour territory, by the way, nothing confirmed)

Twitter is the devil
Whats the process then after this? Test him again in a few days? How does he go to the U21 championships after a failed medical?
Theres no panic. Dotting i's and crossing t's i'd guess. Probably be confirmed in the morning. He wouldn't be heading off to play in the U21 euros if he had an injury that would cause him to fail a medical
From an Arsenal perspective you would like to think that those days are over, at least for a few seasons.
I think 2001 is the only summer I have known Arsenal to spend big
PHOTO : PHIL JONES leaves the Bridgewater Hospital in Manches... on Twitpic
Supposed picture of him leaving Bridgewater Hospital after medical.
I cant imagine him failing a medical??

Has he failed his medical? Really?
If he has failed his medical why is the main BBC site not reporting it?
Reminds me of the time we nearly signed Angulo from Valencia only for him to fail the medical. All your elation comes crashing down.
I think the clinical term was that he was 'spineless'.
sure wasnt something about his head?
Henderson deal has gone through either, people worry too much.
if he did i meant, dont be an arse mate
If he has, feck knows. This is just a twitter rumour though. You get an awful lot of drivel invented on twitter. Probably finished the medical too late to get the paper-work sorted.
If he'd failed the medical I'm sure there would be more than just random wannabes on twitter talking about it.
Has a single reputable journalist said anything?

If its being covered on SSN yet, then I doubt its true.
You know Sky would sniff around rumours like this

So? Henderson had his medical today and there has been no confirmation. Has he failed too?
Bullshit rumour. Nothing on Radio Lancashire.
