chel10ham Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Won't be on a free, it will be a very sizeable tribunal set fee as he is one of the hottest prospects outside the premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cloud Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 sorry, missed his age, must have come up through their youth system then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Boy Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Charlton's only down the road, We don't get on with The Gills and he's not that highly rated at the Gate Can't see it happening.My guess would be Charlton, Fulham or Watford.

Robbored Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Sorry if already posted but this blokes out of contract, on a free and surely we could afford his wages now?Why not?His name was linked with City during the January window and I know for a fact that City were looking at him.Jarvis decided to stay at the Gills untill the end of the season.Now that City are a Championship club Jarvis may look at City's differently.I would assume that he's still on Johnson's shopping list.That said other more established Championship clubs were also interested so it will probably come down who offers him the best deal.Thats not likely to be City.Shame because Jarvis is a class act and would be a great signing.

Geoff65 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 After the Gills game GJ said "all pace no end product" - if Jarvis heard that then he better have had the phone call from GJ stating he was only trying to divert attention from the fact he was trying to buy him - seem to remember he was quite short and sharp about Easter (now at wycombe) when he was trying to sign him before he moved to Wycombe and before anyone had a whiff that he was chasing him.

Robbored Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 He does have the wrong attuide surely though from doing just that.Not necessarily.As a lower league player its important to make good money while you can.You never know when you'll be on the dole.It doesn't matter so much higher up.Players at the top Championship clubs only need to play for 5 seasons to earn enough to be made for life.In the Premiership its just two seasons.Players like Rooney/Lampard could retire tomorrow and could live extremely well for another 70 years without ever have to work again.Marcus Stewart is a prime example.Not ever an international but his top seasons at Ipswich and Sunderland will have earned him enough to retire for life if he chose to.

I mean I cant see Wycombe being able to offer to much more than we did plus if he came to us and did well he would have got offered a better contract like Jamie Mccombe has done.

Robbored Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 On the back of the Betsy deal, does that stack up?Betsy was already under an existing contract at Wycombe whereas Easter was offered a new deal.There would probably be a big difference.Maybe Wycombe knew that Betsy would be on his way and budgeted accordingly.

red-or-dead Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 At the AGM last year Gary Johnson said that Jarvis was top of the list regarding players in league1. He told us that at the time we were not in a position to pay his wages but when were in the Championship we maybe can.Last season he looked by far the most talented opponent. Good with his left and right, fairly quick and scores goals.If we can sign him we will make money in the future too.I likes Jarvis alot & so does GJ. Get the lad in!
