According to newspaper reports last week, West Ham and Wolverhampton Wanderers had reached an deadlock in the negotiations for Matt Jarvis, with Wolves rejecting an initial bid of £6m and and an extra £3m in add-on clauses. The player then reportedly handed in a transfer and was left out of the Wolves squad for their preseason friendly at the weekend citing ‘illness’.

This week Wolves still seem to be playing hardball over the transfer similar to the situation with Steven Fletcher as Wolves have now turned down an inflated bid from Sunderland for the winger.
But from West Ham’s perspective, is his worth this kind of excessive fee? Jarvis is something we are missing, a winger with the propensity to take on the man and deliver a cross however my feeling is that he delivers this too often. He had a quiet season last year – 4 assists in the Premier League, 6 assists the year before.
That’s not a bad return and certainly would improve a team devoid of width and creativity but does that warrant paying the kind of money Wolves want for him.

Just as with the Steven Fletcher situation Stale Solbakken is determined to make clubs pay over-the-odds for their better players in order to fund their transfer fund and I don’t believe West Ham should be part of this extortionate exodus. There are more reasonably priced wingers available for sale and loan which we should be aiming for before breaking the bank for Jarvis.
But what do you think? Is Jarvis worth the money? Will we ever be able to replace Faubert? Will we ever be able to get crosses into the box? Let us know.
Follow me @timsyouruncle.
Ever dreamt about getting paid for reading about West Ham? Well now you can make dreams a reality http://bit.ly/ffc-foreverwestham-lp
Lets hope we can never replace Faubert
Scott Sinclair,
Cheaper, younger, faster.
He would be our best bet for a pacey winger no doubt.
yes i think he is a realy good player and if united put maybe 8m down up front i would be happy with that but 6.5m then the rest with add ons is abit dicey i think but he would do great there for you
Simple answer is no, We had to go through the same last year over Scott Parker and Jarvis is not a Scott Parker, he’s a good CHAMPIONSHIP player, we already have quite a few of them, we don’t need one who will cost at least twice as much as he’s worth.
extortionate? how is it extortionate when you are trying to buy a player who is under contract for three years! at another club, he did NOT ask for a transfer, he had words with the manager and CEO expressing his desire to play in the “corrupt” premiership and preferably with you, but why he wants to have another relegation on his CV only he knows, you want him – you pay the going rate or has they say – the second word is OFF! same goes for Fletcher, look at other strikers/wingers and how much they went for Bent, Carroll, Torres (Fletch out scored them all) Young, Downing – Jarvo is better than both of them, if both of these players were at one of the top six clubs, the money we are asking would be peanuts.
We don’t have to sell, and we certainly don’t need the money!
please read comment properly UNPROVEN players e.g. scott dann only had one good season and yet he is going for 7m same for roger johnson. fair enough spending big money on players like flech and parker because they have preformed for many season.
my my me thinks somebody recents Jarvo playing in the Big league without his little wolves, he aint worth £3m and i for one would be gutted if we got an overated underperformer who managed a total of 9 assists in 2 seasons with you championship boys!!!!!!!
Don’t sell then, keep hime, the majority of us don’t want him.
Wolves management are playing poker. He isn’t worth that kind of money and we should just walk away.
Holding on to the best players are not playing poker – it’s the oposite. Wolves are one of the few clubs with the economy to do just that. Look at Aston Villa, they could have been one of the top clubs fighting for european league if they could have held on to their best players.
10m for jarvis, at tops his worst 4 to 5, if jarvis is so good why did wolves not stay up, were going to do exactly what Blackburn and wolves done, wolves bought Roger Johnson, his club was recently relegated, Blackburn bought scott dann whos club was recently relegated. both of these players had big money spent on them in region of 8m! so the morale here is don’t buy unproven relegated players for big money.
so instead of buying jarvis i think we should sign Adam Johnson his not getting any playing time at city, to stay in the England set up hodgson says that he has to be playing regularly for club, this could be perfect he is a class player, he has everything you in a winger pace, skill, dribbling, flair, crossing his got everything. he could also be available quite cheaply due to city never playing him his wages may be extortionate but it will be worth it.
He seems like a decent player but he’s only worth about 4million. We’ll get better and cheaper from abroad, we shouldn’t be held to
ransom by a pub team
Why is it buying clubs, players are only worth 40/50% of the going rate.
The price is £10m simple, get your owners to knock out a few more dirty DVDs then you’ll be able to afford him
your missing the point, the fans dont want an overated underperformer from a pub team, but we all know come deadline day we’ll nick him for £4m and turn him into a prem quality player, enjoy life down there, i cant remember much about the championship as we only stayed for a year, and you aint bob hope of getting up ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
You don’t understand dimlow we ain’t in debt £60m like yous lot.
So no you won’t get him for £4m when the price is £10m is that simple enough for you???
Or shall I do it in a bigger font ???
Carlwestham. What was the score the last time you played Wolves? If Wolves are a pub team where does that leave West Ham?
I’d much rather spend 4-5 million on Kieran Richardson, he’ll score more goals and get more assists than Jarvis. We certainly need more width and pace and a decent goal scorer, bring back Bobby Zamora.
remember wolves have reached much greater heights than yourself think twice before you label wolves a pub team
ha yeah when was that mate cos im 40 and wolves have been crap as long as i can remember!!!
Yeah you’ve done well to survive that long with your attitude you Prick
Too much money for someone that isn’t really proven but the cheaper options from abroad never seem to materialise and most are not proven in the prem !!!
No way, Podolski cost £10M, and Jarvis is nowhere near that level of quality. A mediocre player in a deluded club. Wolves are tiny, when was the last time they really competed for something? A Yo-Yo club at best, if their players are so valuable they would not have been relegated. Better options, and cheaper, are Scott Sinclair as already mentioned, and Zaha, could get both for about £12M, much better players at much better value. Wolves, get over yourselves, your a small, championship club, and all your players want to leave, stuff finances.
Yo yo lol
Which I ain’t really disagreeing with, but,
That’s rich coming from West ham I think term was invented for you!!
Your name doesn’t suit you Grace, if it did you’d run away to your own insignificant website and start worrying about what you will be facing this coming season. Yo-Yo? that was invented for teams that have the ability to bounce back after being relegated. Wolves STAY down when relegated! See you in ten years time when your lot finally work out how to gain promotion. It must be hard living in the shadow of villa, west brom and even brum.
Oh and Jarvis……….. Keep him!
The truth is Wolves are just a small team from West Bromwich.
Just simply toooo much money keep him
I notice that you are in the bookies top three tips for relegation, not Reading, not Southampton but West Ham. Confirms the fact that you are the joke club of London. You might want to stick a few quid on Charlton replacing you in the Premier league next season, have a few quid on Wolves winning the Championship while you are on. At least that way your season of relentless humiliation will be profitable.
Bookies??? Don’t spend all of your social handouts speculating on nonsense, keep your money for all them tissues you’ll be crying into. wolves doomed to fail, in my crystal ball I can see hard times ahead for your “deluded” lot. Lets see if you can bounce straight back 🙂
What a bunch of idiots down in London…
Simple thing is Jarvis is the best winger in the country but Poor West Ham can’t afford him..
Thats why they can only afford to offer 6 and 3 in 2 years time…
Idiots..
Fulham are a bigger club than West ham now… Get over yourselves.
Even your Manger is a Wolves fan..
If you’re looking for class and quality, it WON’T be in Wolverhampton. The place is full of numpties, getting all overheated over some silly transfer speculation. See you in ten years time you village idiot. Have fun in the Championship!
We’re a joke, you got beaten 5-1 by your main rivals and yeah I think it was at home, that’s so funny and you would never see that at west ham, have fun in the championship 🙂
