The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[SoccerHQ]

I like Jarvis when he was at the Wolves but hasn't done much at West Ham.

I thought he looked decent at Wolves but can't say I have noticed him at West Ham. So basically what you said.

I'd be really upset if we're after Jarvis very average player

I used to work with a Wolves fan, and a while back, Jarvis was linked to us.

I mentioned it to said Wolves fan, who said "Jarvis isn't anywhere near good enough to play for you", which I thought was quite touchingly honest. He wasn't taking the piss, either. And I believe him, would be a massively uninspiring signing.

Does anybody know what Chelski are asking for Salah? Roma and Besiktas in the mix, wih loan to buy options.

[paulcomben]

Wouldn't anyone sensible simply say 'He's good but he's almost permanently injured or suspended.'? Vlaar or Delph. Both the same. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-fabian-delph-big-8464120

Nick Jarvis must be past it as a player now? He was hit and miss as a manger as well.

Accuse a man of anything you like, but never of failing to be a crib for a bed deemed necessary to save mankind.

I've never seen it with Jarvis at all. He had one decent year but got found out. He's another one with only one trick and it's so long ago that I can't remember what it was, but I do remember you could read it from the TV every but as easily as you can read Ashley Young's "I'm gonna whip this in with my right . . . No I've cut inside into my left" trick

Cheap probably, be good for the championship

To be fair, three or four years ago we all had slightly higher expectations about the level of player that we should be signing than we perhaps do now.

[mr underhill]

true but I still don't believe that they have fallen so far as to be content with Jarvis.

[olaftab]

Stoke are letting Huth out on loan. Possible option as Glass Ron is injured for a change.

Huth to Villa? Seems to be on according to Talksport. Just call me mystic Damo. PM me for this weeks lottery numbers.

Aston Villa are considering a surprise move for Lazio defender Michael Ciani, 30. (Times - subscription required)

Saw 5 minutes of West Ham the other day and Jarvis had the ball and I thought 'I'd forgotten that he'd gone there'. Really can't remember him doing anything since leaving Wolves.

Well if it was so difficult to read, most full backs didn't. Young's crossing was excellent for us and he wasnt bad for Utd against us in December. Due to his diving, with us and since he has left, and his petulance of arguing with refs over nothing, i think we all forget what a great player he was for us.

Prefer Jarvis over Sinclair, but both are poor in comparison to Young. I suspect Jarvis would have a better attitude than Sinclair and you would get more effort from him than Charlie

If he was available for £2m I would sign Jarvis. We need something different

It's safe to say that West Ham probably haven't had value out of the near £11m that they spent on him.
