Saint Scott Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 Sky Sports sources understand that West Ham have failed with a third bid for Wolves winger Matt Jarvis, believed to be in the region of £9.5million. Wolves really are holding out for a ridiculous sum of money. Not only Jarvis but Fletcher too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfer soap around Alexander Büttner gets a sequel. Southampton undertake a new attempt the 23-year-old left back to take away at Vitesse. Büttner in Arnhem banished to the promises after a conflict over a transfer. His attempt by an arbitration case his exile to undo and a limited ransom to get failed Wednesday. On all fronts, he was unsuccessful. But there is hope for a solution to the impasse Southampton as a new bid has deposited with Vitesse. A transition to The Saints bounced off a month ago on the requirement of Büttner an additional fee where all the parties to a settlement had been reached.

Stattmeister Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 I just can't believe we'd sign all three of Buttner, Ramirez and Phillips. I think we are pawns in a grander scheme to secure Ramirez a more lucrative gig, but whether knowingly or not I don't know (Would NC entertain that??) - either two out of the three would be great however, although Ramirez is of course the "marquee" here. I think like everyone I'm pleased it is picking up and exciting at the prospect of these chaps turning out in red(and white). Could just do with that little bit more cover at the back but with Modric moving, Agger possibly and such like I would like to think the merry-go-round starts to gtaher pace after a Euro/Olympic filled delay.

krissyboy31 Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 Just like Matt Phillips isn't worth anywhere near £6m. Makes me laugh. All week everyone's been apoplectic with lack of transfer activity and not splashing the cash/showing ambition etc. We make a proper bid for a player that 90% of us were saying we should sign and it's "bid too much", "not worth that", "waste of money!" Exactly the same happened with JRod and will probably happen with every other signing we make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 And hasn't yet done so. Hence the lower price tag.

Don't know. If Jarvis goes to a bigger PL team I think he could be in with a shout. 8 goals for Wolves last term is impressive. But at 26 he's got to be thinking that his time is very fast running out. I know that I'd prefer us to sign Jarvis than Phillips. Although either owuld be most welcome.

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 Phillips is much more suited to our system, plus has the pace we crave more than Jarvis. Agreed. Phillips can only get better whereas jarvis probably reached near his peak. Phillips will cause defenders a lot more problems than jarvis. Just hope we can get him. We would then be 2 decent CB's away from a team that should be match for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 Am I right in thinking Phillips plays on the left and likes to cut in? Correct. However, he is equally as strong on the right. You can see why Adkins is so keen to bring him in. He fits into this new system perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 Am I right in thinking Phillips plays on the left and likes to cut in? Can play on both sides but I've seen him play largely on the left. For a winger, he's got an eye for a goal, so looks dangerous whenever he cuts in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 I'd rather we sign Phillips than Jarvis purely on the basis that it'd p!$$ Holloway right off. Other than that, I'm not fussed really, although Phillips is younger and cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, I'm not fussed really, although Phillips is younger and cheaper. Phillips is stronger, quicker, younger and cheaper. No brainer for me. I don't think there's a great deal between either player. Once Phillips gets a chance in the Pl I think he could have as good an impact, if not better.

Yep, I saw that one. Would assume it's Gaston. - if it progresses, as he said anyway. Gaston is about £12m, phillips £6m - so that's almost £20m eaten up already, which is why I think it's 1 of Gaston/Phillips and then 2x CB's.

Can't see any signings done before the weekend myself, left it too late now, and they wouldn't be involved at City anyway - maybe just from the bench if signed in time - so makes sense just taking a bit more time over it. We'd struggle at City with a couple of new faces anyway...! Best to treat this as a bit of a bonus game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
