Last week’s
extravagant sales of Matt Jarvis and Steve Fletcher marked a new era for
Wolves. Relegation meant the side were always going to have to swap things
around and make way for some of their biggest stars to leave. But who would
have thought that these two players would make the side so much money for
average Premiership players at best who sparkled in a very poor and deflated
side.
Matt Jarvis
had been a stalwart for Wolves in 2007 making 164 appearances but only getting
19 goals which isn’t many even for a winger. He was influential in many games
last season for Wolves but at £10.75 million for a player who is 26 and already
becoming injury prone, West Ham may regret spending so much. It was with a
smile I watched on Saturday as West Ham suffered a 3-0 hammering away at
Swansea and Matt Jarvis looked helpless. He could well be heading the opposite
way to Wolves come the end of the season then what will he do?
Steven
Fletcher came to the forefront last season as a striker who could grab goals
from the most hopeless situations. He is a very consistent striker with 12
goals in each of his last three Premier League seasons. But £14 million for
this average Premiership striker who very often went missing for large parts of
the most important matches. Steven Morgan (Wolves Owner) must have been
laughing to the bank. Sunderland may look back and think look what we could
have brought for that money a world class striker, which Steven Fletcher is
not.
As a whole
Steven Morgan and Jez Moxey (Wolves Chief Exec) will be laughing at the amount
they have made from these two. With four signings or more with this £24.5
million Wolves will look a completely different team and one that could be
re-born back to the Premiership.
