Jarvis may turn out to be a great player but he's not played above non-league level outside of the odd token sub appearance for us. We have no idea how close he is to being ready for first team action in the Championship. Realistically he's scored two tap-ins in pre-season so it's a real stretch to assume he would definitely have been in the first team picture purely on that evidence. If he never breaks into the first team he'll be far from the first to get this far and fail. Questioning whether our new signings might be 'even better' than him is frankly nuts.
I understand completely at what your saying and to a degree agree but my only issue is I think your being a bit disingenuous about the tap ins, one I do remember as being a well taken goal…just my opinion..
 
The big difference between Vaughan and the rest of our young kids is his game time in senior football.
You’re not wrong. But that game time came when Oldham were the worst run side in the country. When they were taken over he stopped playing when he was clearly good enough, my underlying point being the fact he was playing for Redcliffe before being a first teamer shows it shouldn’t matter what level Jarvis has played at. He’s stood out compared to other wingers still at the club, in the most important part of the game.

It doesn't necessarily matter that he's not played at a high level before. Obviously players can break through suddenly, like Vaughan and others have. It's not that it's impossible, it's that it's unlikely and he'd have to prove a lot, and having two goals to your name in pre-season doesn't necessarily mean so much on its own. The fact he's at Shelbourne tells us he's not realistically there.

I think it really shows that Jarvis hasn't played enough senior football yet. So it's not necessarily the level solely but the volume of games. I'd prefer any player who we're considering to make the step up to have at least played a decent chunk in L2. Hopefully, this spell in the LOI for Jarvis will mean he can go on loan to L2 in Jan.
