Leicfox Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 Leicester City have today (Thursday) completed the signing of Preston North End midfielder Jason Jarrett on an initial one month loan deal. Jarrett (27) becomes Rob Kelly's fourth signing of the year, following the capture of Geoff Horsfield, Mark Keates and Luigi Glombard last week. The transfer window closed for permanent signings at midnight on January 31. But the Foxes have taken advantage of the clause that allows players to move on loan one-week after the deadline. Jarrett arrives at the Walkers Stadium with a wealth of experience of the division - having been part of the Wigan Athletic side that gained promotion to the Premiership in 2005. Spells at Norwich City and Plymouth Argyle followed for Jarrett, before Billy Davies took him to Deepdale to bolster his side's promotion push at the end of the 2005-06 campaign. City boss Rob Kelly said: "We've taken Jason for an initial one-month loan period with a view to an extension and I am delighted to get him. "He is a player who I know quite a lot about as I watched him play a number of times for Wigan when I was at Blackburn. "He's been promoted out of the division and knows what it takes to be successful in the Championship. I am sure he will be a really good addition to us. He's the type of box-to-box modern midfield player which we need." Jarrett began his career at Blackpool, but really made his mark during an 18-month spell at Bury. His form for the Shakers persuaded Wigan boss Paul Jewell to secure his signature for £75,000 in 2002 - and the player would go on to make 105 appearances for the Lancashire side before moving to Carrow Road in 2005. An agile midfielder with a strong engine, Jarrett's capture could prove to be a major shot in the arm for Kelly's squad as they look to stave off the threat of relegation. The player has been allocated the number 23 shirt. http://www.lcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/...~977707,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 I'm not convinced about his quality but... a) He does have a good engine b) He probably has more goal threat than our current central midfield c) All our current midfielders are sh it.

evan Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 Let's see what he's like. If he is crap, he's only here for a month, so happy days. As i said in my rumour post...he might have the odd decent game but he has no real quality, not a great passer, not great tackler, not particularly fast...just more of the same...hughes/johnson esc he actually thinks he's something special though...apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 Very mature statement there............. Typical 'quick to judge' fan. Seriously, he is shit. I'm hardly one to make these type of comments usually, but he is shit! For Norwich and Preston he has been anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you what. a + b + c = Josh Low and Elvis Hammond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Nibblington Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 Shit he may be. But he might be a slightly better shit than what we've currently got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertine Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 Shit he may be.But he might be a slightly better shit than what we've currently got. I'm sure. I'll give him a chance obv. Can't be worse than Johnno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 Shit he may be. But he might be a slightly better shit than what we've currently got. Exactly. I'd be quite optimistic, but I can't get away from the fact that RK has always wanted to sign him. That basically means he's shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo V Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 another body must be good news Thats the plus for me too as we are only a couple of injuries away from being right up sh** creek without a paddle. The problem for me is that he hasnt played much in the last two years and if he was any good you would have thought that a club who are pushing for promotion (PNE) would not be letting him go if he was that important. We`ll probably get him match fit in the first team and if he does well they`ll want him back anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That basically means he's shit. Well. Yes, there is that. As long as he does something in useful in some game to help us get some points, I'll be happy. Obviously not if he causes us to lose every other game he plays in, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 Never really heard of him to be honest, but I'll save judgement until I see him play. At least RK has realise dthe need for a fresh face in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 How does a loan signing qualify as a "capture"? It wasn't a consensual signing, we trapped him, with a cage and some bait!
