Is that the breast you can come up with?
Can anyone summarise what the feck's going on so far? I've not really kept up with it this last few days. What's the issue? Is it likely to be resolved and, if so, when?
Fowl play on our part
There is no issue. Someone has come up with some bullshit which the rags are now running with. Nothing from either club, or the player.
Oh, and we are part exchanging Nani for Sneijder.
Should be resolved in the next few days. Blackburn are just been stubborn.
I'm sure they have Phil's breast intentions at heart, its going to cost us a wing and a leg to get this kid, if the fee goes too high I can see SAF flapping at the transfer
I see...
Right, nice one. I'll let you get back to your chicken puns now.

Chicken.
Cluck some more and I'll turn you into a spatchcock.
either we withdrawn the deal or we pay 20m + or else this will turn into a ugly squabble and the fa will then have to interfere, feck off blackburn....
So the last three pages of this thread for updates on the Jones transfer have been ruined by unfunny and tiresome puns. Can some modmin clean it up, please?
Yes please its annoying.
I thought they were funny.
EDIT: Am i being ghosted??

We'll pay £16m and that's it. If the FA have to intervene then fair enough. No-one else will want to deal with Blackburn if that happens.
Its fecking hilarious. They are trying it on and using Harry Harris as their own personal media bitch. That article is basically a come on to United, with figures, as to how to make it all go away. The Blackburn "insider" is just Blackburn. Harris is the only journo who hasnt reported it as if Venkys are a joke in human form. He was the lowest of vile journos at the Mirror and hes not got any better it seems.
Simmer down, all of you. This is boiling over now, but once Blackburn's owners are forced to face reality and realize how much they've scrambled this whole situation, they'll have no choice but to sit and stew, and stop trying to cook up new ways to slow things down. Once that's taken place, we'll be able to poach our man and bring him over, easy.
Anyone else reading that as "United are in the right right and have Blackburn over a barrel regarding that clause" so the only thing left that BB can do is to complain about how United knew about it.
Hmm, I reckon it should be sorted next week.
Sounds exactly like it. We offer £16m as per the contract, agree terms and he has his medical and they try to get more money by saying the clause is different. We say exactly what is in the clause, proving we're in the right, having seen it. Instead of accepting defeat, they start moaning at how we know the details of his contract. Nobody will care and they'll be forced to complete the deal.
Why can't we be more like Bayern.No fuss.
its not us making the fuss. a bunch of clueless idiots are making it.
Glad you are here to keep us in line!
What we don't need right now is an unfunny, serious, bore.
Pray tell, does the cap fit?
To be fair if someone's coming home and wanting to see what the latest on this deal is they probably dont want to be searching through pages of random chicken jokes and what not to do so, last time i looked it was the Phil jones transfer to United thread not the Phil jones transfer to united and as many poultry jokes as possible thread.
And the Venky comedy is funny enough without puns.
Righty oh!
It is not the first time that a thread gets full of nonsense and sometimes it relieves the tedium of odious repeat posting by information whores.
What is not required though is sanctimonious prefect types, policing the boards. I am sure the Mods have read the chicken nonsense and made a judgment call on whether it needs clearing up or not.
Time to lighten up!!

Woah attitude malfunction! all i said was i can understand why someone who logging on wondering what the latest on this deal was would be a little bit peeved having to search through pages and pages of chicken puns to find news of what this thread was supposed to be about in the first place, ya know the transfer of Phil Jones? not why a random chicken did or did not cross said road?
Surely thats pretty understandable? Nothing wrong with jokes, but page after page of the same stuff? bit annoying after a while for some id imagine.
That's another six posts for the mods to delete. Heh. Peace out.

Great news! if true!
Hopefully true, still better to wait for the official site to confirm it.
Cocks out?!
You start the shit then "Peace out".
Oh stop egging the poor sod on.
Venky's probably realised they'd been reading the wrong contract all along.
They have probably just read the last three pages of this thread and realised the error of their ways.
If this deal goes through a Mail on Sunday journo has wasted his afternoon.

In a way, it would be funny of the Mail on Sunday is right... Show Liverpool to be really pathetic.
