Original_Champions Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 I will try and give an honest appraisal on the type of player you are getting. Strengths As has been stated he is a box-to-box type midfielder who apparently has a decent shot on him (I have to admit I didn't particularly notice the good shot part!) He plays the pressing type of game very well (if you play that style) He passes the ball simply without the defence splitting pass Weaknesses Whilst being with us, he has sulked a little and apparently didn't take well to being dropped to the reserves, which is rumoured to why he fell out with Paul Simpson. Simpson demands honesty from his players and work-rate, whether that be in the first team or the reserves. He supports the attack well although whether he has that killer finish is yet to be seen because other than the games he played in, towards the end of last season, we haven't seen much of him. In fairness to Jarrett, he played a part in cementing our place in the play-offs last season with some commanding performances in midfield. He isn't the type of midfielder that will create chances for your fowards, unless you manage to draw that quality from him, and technically he isn't the type of player that will have you on the edge of your seat. So to summarise, if your manager shows faith in him and selects him consistently then you could have a decent box-to-box midfielder that would work well alongside a creative midfielder. From a Preston perspective - will we miss him? Not likely, because he has only featured for the first few games and Simmo soon dropped him to the reserves and he hasn't had a look in since.

Lord Nibblington Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 Doesn't sound too good people Opinions on Jason Jarrett At least he sounds like a dodgy 70s pornstar, though. Possible with a handle bar mustache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 Surely none of you were actually expecting us to sign someone good? I mean how? We're broke.. subject to takeover, got a sh it manager who no one wants to play for, a bunch of sh it players who no one wants to play with.. we're in a relegation battle and no one fancies joining in. What were you expecting? One of the top teams to let us have one of their top players on loan? Fu ck sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 He`ll bust a gut for you for 2 matches, then he`ll strut around giving it the "big I am". Not of Billy Davies` greatest legacies to us, Im afraid. If he would usually bust a gut for 2 games we can convert this to 4 games due to RK's re-doubling training theory. In a sense therefore, by the end of the month this may equate to a sustainable period of consistent performance from the player, something only 1 or 2 of the current playing squad have managed thus far this season Player of the Season Award 2006-2007 Nominees 1.

Lord Nibblington Posted 8 February 2007 Share Posted 8 February 2007 Also, he's here for a month. If he's crap, he can't do that much damage. *Waits for loan to be extended, and JJ to singlegandedly destroy our season* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's wait and see how he performs in a Leicester shirt before making judgement. Yeah you're right there we should probably give the bloke a chance. But as Thracian points out (a lot!) it keeps a younger player out of the team and if we're not going to use these youth players what is the point in them? Every time we have injuries or whatever, kelly wants loans and doesnt want to use the youth players. I dont understand it in all honesty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has now brought in 4 players on loan. So nothing has actually changed in terms of the standing of the youth players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
