Could the club be waiting for the next financial quarter to announce the deal?
or maybe club it together with another player who might be signing soon-ish

What's slightly concerning here is that blackburn's owners have no idea how to run a football club and have done some fairly stupid things already since they took over.
I don't believe this 16m 'to talk only' clause. Its stupid. On the other hand I do believe that the European Championship U21 is acting as obstacle to sign the players now.
If the players pushes it I doubt there will be a problem, assuming that there is such a clause. And assuming there is a problem.
This is odd, to say the least. And irritating.
Espnsoccernet is a laughable site that reports rumour as fact. Funny how noone else has picked up on it.
Good - pretty boy defenders don't seem right.
How many times has he broken his nose already?
I would not be at all surprised if the Blackburn Rovers owners believed that the 16million clause only allows a club to talk to him - but they are batshit crazy and likely incorrect. It will go to court if they push it, I reckon (if there any truth to it at all)
I'd be confident SAF knows what he's doing. The more players we have (without crowding) the better. Competition for place which breeds a heightened game
Sorry, is there another Keown apart from Martin The Missing Link?
25m for Jones? No thanks.
Gentlemen, calm down.
We are in good hands, erm the best!!
I am sure there isn't a club in the country willing to pay 25m for him.
I am sure the lad will push the transfer the through whilst Steve Kean is busy working on his drink drive defence.
Not guilty...yeah right? I bet he says that SAF spiked his drinks!

Not guilty...yeah right? I bet he says that SAF spiked his drinks! No chance. Hes done his medical - this indicates BB are happy to sell for the release clause!

"I was drinking because I saw Sir Alex driving on the hard shoulder while suffering from diarrhea. I couldn't get the image out of my mind. It's his fault".
"PS, I'm Kean without an e. Yes, Kean, not Keane. Kean, you know, Blackburn boss. OK, Blackburn manager. Or Something".
Agreed. There is no chance he could do a medical without United and Blackburn not having agreed at least the basics of the offer
I think you may have missed a funny.
So espnsoccernet are the only people claiming this incredible scoop.
'Kinell.....how much are Arsenal going to want to allow us to talk to Nasri?
I dont get this first pic mate whats that meant to be?
Is the "English" + "Transfer" + "Window Open" yet?
Master negotiator Arsene Wenger will surely get a cup of tea and half a packet of own brand digestive biccies out of us.
blackburn are playing hard-ball, they want 25m for feck sakes.

If the clause is 16million, they HAVE TO accept 16million?
That's the way I thought it was?

Any chance of a name change to Viva Phil Jones
Apprently Venkys are holding it up because they want to see if they have to accept the 16m bid.
its in the times now saying there is a snag
They havent got a clue what theyre doing do they?
Surely they have solicitors at the club who understand this sort of thing.
Are they retarded? Release clauses are like Ronseal ffs.
It doen't matter if other sources say the same thing. Basically these papers are talking out their arse....
I've seen one or two before and some of them are worded along the lines of:
'Should a formal offer of a sum in excess of X be offered for the transfer of the playing registration of Y, then Z will be obliged to allow Y to negotiate personal terms with the club in question'.
I can see how they might have a shot at it if it is the case, as they could make an extra million or two.
There's no such thing as a 'permission to talk' clause. I doubt there's any snag at all, we're probably just waiting to announce it after the u21 tournament.
Yeah, that's what worries me about this. We're dealing with gimps who haven't the foggiest how football transfers are supposed to work.
I'm probably missing something, and I bow to your obviously superior legal knowledge, but if they are obliged to allow the player to negotiate personal terms once that fee is triggered then that's that, no?
He will still be coming.
Blackburn Rovers are just embarrassing themselves.

How many chickens are we getting?
You have to feel sorry for the supporters. Those chicken pluckers taking over their club, then making a right mess of things. Even chairman John Williams, possibly the one man there who had a clue, felt he had enough and left.
So easy to take over football clubs.
