Jay Spearing’s future at Liverpool

At the risk of sounding sensationalist, next season could be a make or break year for Jay Spearing. He’s shown that the talent is there, and it is now time for him to show that he can use that talent to improve as a player.
With Liverpool currently looking a bit overstaffed in the midfield area I believe that it would be most beneficial for Spearing to gain regular match time on loan next season. As I mentioned before, we have nothing to lose. If he does well, we can consider him for our future plans as a reliable squad member. If he doesn’t do well enough to hold down a place in Liverpool’s squad we can sell him for a decent fee. Being out on loan often reveals a lot about where a player’s career is heading, and I’m hopeful that Jay Spearing can go on to give Kenny Dalglish even more of a selection headache when it comes to Liverpool’s midfield.

Whether he has the ability to make it at Liverpool remains to be seen, but a full season of Premier League appearances for a smaller club would no doubt reveal a lot about Spearing’s character and his chances of succeeding at this level.

    didn’t you catch the second half of last season? didn’t you notice how spearing and Lucas dominated midfield match after match? Didn’t you notice in our last game of the season when spearing went of injured early on that the team collapsed? The team hardly missed Gerrard at all, Spearo runs more tackles more and never leaves spaces in behind. If he can be a little more productive in the last third then ‘roberts your fathers brother’

    Spearing and Lucas are the two worst players in LFC. Who says otherwise is stupid or blind or both! Trust me, I have 3 PhDs.

    to S.S. congratulations on ur 3 phd’s but u kno jack about footy. the jury’s out on spearo but lucas is worth his weight in gold. stop watchin and judgin from ur armchair u tit

    Jay Spearing is not good enought to be the Liverpool squad – reserve yes – first NO. Would he serioudly get in Chelsea, Manure No he wouldnt – best off playing bottom table teams or sell to blackpool in exchange for Adam, even tho i have my thoughts on him not being good enough!!

    I don’t think any footballer is equivalent to 24 players lol.

    Man utd won the league a few seasons ago with Phil Neville and John O’shea in the middle of the park. Were they better than Xabi, sissoko, Gerrard and Kewell? Like Eff were they. My point is a TEAM is all about the blend. Lucas and Spearing showed last season that the team ticks along nicely when they play together.

    Spearing is a good player no doubt. And also a box to box midfielder. But with the with again Steven Gerard and the ever imroving lucas leiva and signing of jordan and adam and the returning of albeto aquillani, there wil be limited chances for him to prove himself once again. I think the best option will be to send him out on loan.

  9. philC says:

    Obviously SS never watches football in his life, if he did he must be watching the replay from two season ago, or maybe he’s from US. Besides Mareiles & Suarez Lucas was easily the best player for us last season and Jay have prove he is a valuable asset to the team. Those phDs must be bachelor of stupid & bachelor of blind

    I have a Columbo style hunch that Henderson and Adam will be used in wide areas next season. Adams’ left foot is made for crossing and he often plays out their as does Henderson. At Blackburn Kenny played with two solid up and down mids in Sherwood and Batty. Spearo, Lucas, Gerrard will be fighting it out for those two spots in my opinion with the versatility of Adam and Henderson (only if needed) as back up.

    Philc u just said my mind guy u are 2 much

  12. njanja says:

    Kenneth and Comolli should be ashamed of themselves! All they do is identify players for other serious clubs to buy. We have lost in all the important targets: Ashley Young, Phil Jones,Gevinho, Zapata, Payet, Clichy, Enrique, Wickham, Bojan, Jefrren etc, and for about 6 months running, they cannot close or stall Charle Adam’s deal. They are gradually making LFC look inferior

  13. 'Will says:

    Njanja,
    And you know this how?
    Hack into LFC emails?
    Tap KD and DC’s phones?

    Truth is no one knows who the LFC targets are outside those involved in the process.

    That is pissing the press off no end.
    It’s clear they are trying to make it look like you believe it is,
    ie. LFC are missing out on the 61 players linked with us this month.

    Luckily some fans can see thru it and are not all complete numptys…

  14. lee says:

    Spearing should be on loan to a club in Spain ..That will be great for him as a footballplayer..

  15. Darren says:

    Fair enough Lucas has had his best two season ( the last two ) but if you really think players like Lucas and Spearing are good enough to get LFC back to were we belong then your dreamers !! Adams and Diego are twice the players they are, if not both are better than both on there own!! There’s rumours Meireles is leaving but KK should consider selling Lucas or Aqualini( not spelt right but who g.a.f) and for Spearing I’d love to see him make it but he is not good enough and should find a new team for first team football. I’m really looking forward to the new season and would like to say to all those fans going mad about players were linked with to just judge it when the window shuts because I really believe we will have a team to defo get in the top four and maybe just maybe we can challenge for the league ( no European football will benefit us in the league ) YNWA

  16. Lookhere says:

    I like the combination of Lucas and Spearing. The advantage last season when they combine is that they both always running and closng down opposition, closing space and winning tackles. Some see this as a negative pair but it works as long as the five attacking players ahead of them are of high quality.

  17. SS says:

    @philC – I have 2 season tkts, you ignorant fool! U are jealous because u are stupid and have no phds. Also, can’t u count, stupid and blind, only make 2.

  18. reid says:

    @ss u are just one of those people that get thier phd certficates through theory and not practical…if not a phd holder shouldnt be saying shit like this..except your phd is in cooking or fishery…or maybe badmington and ping pong..if its sport, i guess you certificates should be recalled…and mind u i have a 5 season premium ticket nd i also hold a total of 32 soccer managemnt certifications nd yes i also have my phd in sports mangement and also in football studies…but i am definitely not ignorant as u fucking are…..spearing is growing, lucas is definitely one of the best.and even ur son cant be better than him with u lecturing him…bomboclark

  19. Pete Gill says:

    Two reasons why liverpool failed to get European football last season

    #1 Lucas Levia was one of their midfield players

    #2 Jay Spearing was the other.

    21 years……..

  20. Ajiri says:

    Lucas is total rubbish, ever improving my foot. Spearing is a better player than he is only that they dont play in same position

  21. nicky Gee says:

    @ Burt – i think you know exactly what i am saying there… stop nit picking. As stated I do not think Jay Spearing is good enough for the LFC SQUAD hes ok in my opinion not world class and that is what we need to balance the average

  22. SS says:

    @burt – that why you are stupid. Only a PhD in sports nonsense (if that is not a lie in reality!). Mine are in medicine, science and law, all proper subjects for clever people, not soft subjects for fools like u!
