 Midway through the 2006 – 07 season Gillingham offered Jarvis a new contract , which the club described as the most lucrative it had ever offered to a player of his age . Jarvis rejected the contract offer , but later claimed via his agent that he would be happy to remain at Priestfield Stadium if the club " demonstrated that it could match his ambitions " . A number of Premier League and Championship clubs showed interest in signing Jarvis , and Plymouth Argyle made an unsuccessful bid for the player , manager Ian Holloway commenting that " we did make a bid but it got knocked back " . Towards the end of the season Nottingham Forest of Football League One made an offer of £ 650 @,@ 000 , hoping to circumvent the transfer window by taking the player on loan until the end of the season , but the bid was turned down by the player 's agent .
