Rorschach Posted 23 March 2010 Posted 23 March 2010 Hello all, Liverpool fan here, just coming in to give you some info on Jay and wish him and you luck for the rest of the season. Reading this thread I think the opinion of most is that he's a defensive midfielder, but he isn't really. He's more of an attacking midfielder, but because of his pug-ugly face and bullish playing style you could be forgiven for thinking he's more of a destroyer than a creator. He CAN play in that DM role though, as well as both fullback positions, and he's the sort of player who will give his all wherever he plays. He's not short on confidence, so expect him to get forward and take pot shots whenever he feels like it, and he's got a great eye for a pass too. He's joining you at the right time aswell because recently he's been in great form for the reserves. Take a look at some of the reserve game match reports on liverpoolfc.tv and you'll see that he's been getting man of the match in most of them, scoring too. I'm not sure whether he'll ever get the chance to 'make it' with us, there just isn't the time to be sticking him in and hoping for the best, but I certainly expected him to have made a few more appearances than he has. He splits opinion with Liverpool fans, some say he's as good as Lucas so should play, others say he just hasn't got the build for it, but I think the honest opinion is that we just don't know either way, so seeing him play regularly for a Championship side is easily the best way to figure that out. I think he'll do really well for you once he's settled, and I can guarantee you that he won't shy away from the stage.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 23 March 2010 Posted 23 March 2010 Always we felt we were short int he CM position so if he adds back up he is a good signing.

Surely a perfect time with how Liverpool are performing and what with your season looking almost over, can't do much worse Sorry was no need for that you seem a decent poster just coming on here to give us on insight on one of you're players coming on loan here.
Mee Posted 23 March 2010 Posted 23 March 2010 Great signing, looks like a creative player, hopefully producing some more goals from up front. Welcome Jay!

Season almost over? No way, we're still in Europe's premier competition - the Europa League! On a serious note, it's not anything I haven't heard before, so you're alright. We've had a shocker.

He does sound as though he could be the kind of player we need in all honesty as we do lack a wee bit of bite in the middle of the park. A CM who can get forward and cause the opposition hassle at the back, and a degree of confidence and fresh legs will help us in the play-off charge. A very good review of Spearing from yourself and hopefully we'll be meeting at Anfield next season.
Dylan Posted 23 March 2010 Posted 23 March 2010 This can only be positive. I think our midfield needs strengthening, as IMO we lack creativity. Wellens has been playing good atm, along with King, but Oakley has been poor imo all season. I've not seen Jay Spearing much, but i'm guessing he can't be that bad as he's appeared for Liverpool in the Champs League and the Prem.
unreachable Posted 23 March 2010 Posted 23 March 2010 Loan signing until the end of the season - So that means the last game of the season? What about if we do finish in the playoff/when the playoffs start, will we lose Waghorn, McGivern and Spearing or can we extend their loan signing during the playoffs at the players parent clubs descretion? This has just dawned on me. I remember that Izzet was a loan signing but of course stayed into the Play-Offs. I don't know the details of the current loan rules but I would be surprised if the loans cannot be extended until the end of the Play-Offs.
Salieri Posted 23 March 2010 Posted 23 March 2010 Didn't know much about the lad but judging by the comments from Liverpool fans he seems a great prospect and could prove to be an inspired signing, we definitely need more competition in the middle of the park. If he does well i'd love us to be able to sign (another) up and coming player permanently, but it doesn't look too likely. But we didn't expect to land Hobbs so who knows? Hopefully he'll get a run out tomorrow night, can't wait! Good luck Jay.
Matt Posted 23 March 2010 Posted 23 March 2010 I remember that Izzet was a loan signing but of course stayed into the Play-Offs. I don't know the details of the current loan rules but I would be surprised if the loans cannot be extended until the end of the Play-Offs. I suppose you'd just extend it for an extra month.
Chairman of the Bored Posted 23 March 2010 Posted 23 March 2010 As a previous poster pointed out, our last Spearing was Tony, and he was crap. Jay-S, as I am now calling him will not be pants. "He's short, he's round, he's kicked you to the ground, Jay-S, Jay-S". Welcome, young man.
teblin Posted 23 March 2010 Posted 23 March 2010 I remember that Izzet was a loan signing but of course stayed into the Play-Offs. I don't know the details of the current loan rules but I would be surprised if the loans cannot be extended until the end of the Play-Offs. I'm sure big Nigel wil have thought of this! so not too worry too muxh
eleven points Posted 23 March 2010 Posted 23 March 2010 Just had a look at the team sheets from last years play off final. Craig Beattie was on loan last year at Sheff U and he played in the final, so I'm sure we'll do the same with our loan players (if we get there).
Koke Posted 24 March 2010 Posted 24 March 2010 Going by the Liverpool fan description he sounds like a Mark Davies-esque player. I hope he gives us that last push over the finishing line.
The Padster Posted 24 March 2010 Posted 24 March 2010 Hmm unfortunately seems to be only short term. Mercury
lou Posted 24 March 2010 Posted 24 March 2010 Hmm unfortunately seems to be only short term. Mercury Are you gonna keep posting this until someone responds?
Asha Posted 24 March 2010 Posted 24 March 2010 Hmm unfortunately seems to be only short term. Mercury I read that as 'until end of season' is short term in Pearson's mind, comparing to his ideal scenario of capturing him permanently. Everywhere else is saying it's until the end of the season.

Can play in defence, but is as attacking as you like and loves a goal. Perfect.
Ozwin Posted 24 March 2010 Posted 24 March 2010 I wonder what the odds on him scoring are? I have a big hunch he'll score tonight.
Matt Posted 24 March 2010 Posted 24 March 2010 I wonder what the odds on him scoring are? I have a big hunch he'll score tonight. I'm feeling a last minute winner for us tonight, not necessarily him scoring though.
Ozwin Posted 24 March 2010 Posted 24 March 2010 Wtf they dont do anytime scorers for the championship Might just pop for first goalscorer and hope for a 1-0.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 24 March 2010 Posted 24 March 2010 Don't let us expect too much from the lad in his first game. He seems a sensible signing, and hopefully he will add to our game.
