Fulham join chase for Wolves star Jarvis

Dont know where the paltry sum of £4 or £5mil is coming from in the press, surely we wont let him go for anything under £10 mil... also been seeing a number of reports that we're after some icelandic player and apparently were in for De Laet as well... if there's any truth to these it is encouraging that we're seemingly trying to plug some of the problem areas from early on... UTW

We can afford to wait for a sensible offer for Jarvis (and Fletcher, for that matter) but unless management has a change of policy, we are going to have to sell in order to plug our own gaps. The Icelandic player that SS wants is the strijer, Bjorn Bergmann Sigurdarson, but he is also on Everton's radar too. We lost De Laet to Leicester, another Championship team, presumably because they could offer the lad better terms. It could hamper our quest for a quick return to the PL.

if Jarvo is to go then he needs to go to a big club-fulham are on a par with walsall only difference between them is one is in the prem and the other ain't. Stop helping the media vital wolves with their speculation, the club has said nobody is leaving until the manager has a chance to assess all the players so just leave it at that.

Well now is the time for the players to show how true they are to the words they have been singing from the roof tops for the past three years, that the spirit and unity among the group is second to none. I won't blame them for last season. Mismanagement at all levels barely gave them a chance but most are young enough to spend a season in the Championship- Doyle did it and funnily enough at the minute he is not one of even the main two we are talking about leaving us- we would certainly struggle to make our money back on him based on the fact he has been played everywhere and in every which manner except as a forward so people will look at his goals and such. The likes of an Everton I imagine would see the use in the way he can play but still. I hope he stays. He told Reading he would give them a season to get back up and they didn't so he left. I hope he gives us a season because I think the new manager can get goals from him. As for the others we all hold the club to their financial boasts and some of the players will not be prepared to put themselves in a position and say they want to leave. Fletcher belongs in the Premiership but I don't think he is the type to ask for a move- it will depend on the club saying oh well it's a lot of money so if he wants he can talk to them. If you are the player put in that position then you would go; the club will have played it's hand. They have put themselves in a difficult position now because without any need to sell the players can always turn round and say they never asked to leave and that the club made the decision to sell. If one goes then I think that will start the domino effect and we shall lose the rest of the best. Then we have to try and bring in players not neccessarily as good in the interim, we are going to be playing Championship football for at least a season, but are we going to buy in players just to sell them for better ones in the event of a promotion. I hope we can keep what we have as unlikely as is may be.

Point taken Greg. Conflicting stories today, Doyle saying he is not looking for a Reading return (surely he would prefer something other than a 5th relegation battle on his cards) elsewhere, without surprise Jarvis is being lined up with half the division. Reading it this morning and the fact everyone has roots it will not be a surprise if they want to move it closer to home, pretty difficult to turn down if PL football comes with it. With the timing I doubt SS got to meet the players but the only hope is if he reaches out and can convince them of a season. The other factor of course is that most of the players had the clause written in apparantly halving their wages in the event of relegation. They may wish to tend to some of those contracts. Be tough to keep them though so I am bracing myself to see Fletcher, Jarvis and Doyle go, and a feeling JOH will be another through the door.

Hi MMDukesee ... all the way from cowboy country I see!

Welcome aboard MMD. I think i took MMD at a rave once, what a rush. On a football note, Im unsure as to your logic about "not caring wh goes as long as we get top dollar" ... surely we want top dollar for a reason... so that we can buy top players. Isnt it thus in our best interests to try and hold onto said top players in the first place? Neverrtheless Good to see a new face and dont hesitate to hurl abuse at johnwolf :)

With all these clubs chasing Jarvis, the bidding war will drive up the price to a point where we will sell him. Although I do not want to lose him, I am reasonably relaxed about his departure because we have replacements in his position and the money will help us plug a hole at the back. Now, if Kightly were to leave, I would really be upset ... and he is already being linked with one or two clubs, paper-talk or not.

OK, slightly crossed frequencies then MMD - I'd just hope we try harder to retaining our core talent, than having to scratch around for other gems. Kightly was a revelation, often outshining Jarvis, and on that form would tear the Championship to pieces ... WE ARE WOLVES !!
