No. Can't see where he'd get a game for us, he must be 7th or so in the pecking order.

Is he playing under Freeman?
 
you all say no but then when lucas was out none of the other fuckwits could play that role and their own games fell to shite . If spearing was able to do a job in that position and allow the other's to play in their more natural positions would we not have been better off ?

Obviously though long term he's probably not the standard we require .

oh and it's a disgrace that the other midfielders are so sensitive to their positions that they can't keep up standards when ask to do just a slightly different job .
 
It's actually tough cos he seem's such a good lad, a good professional, and clearly loves Liverpool more than anything but he's just not a top level footballer and that's the cold reality.

I'd take his attitude and heart over 99% of the rest of our squad. I hope he goes onto a decent career somewhere.
 
Agreed - He's never going to get a start with us now. He looks a solid pro though and he's a red so I hope he finds success somewhere.
 
He's a good player, just not the standard we need, but he's all heart and would probably give more than some of the current crop. Personally I think Henderson has done well in that role when given a chance and he's technically alot better. You saw Spearing come short in the final against Chelsea, that might be a bit harsh given the standard of players he was against, but we're playing against quality every week, so..
 
I think it was slightly desperate of him not to accept a permanent deal in the fist place. He waited so long for an opportunity here, then got one, and proved he wasn't quite good enough. I think he's struggling to come to terms with that. Hopefully he realises soon though, because he could have a decent career in the Championship, or perhaps a Premier League minnow. There's no future for him here.
 
Quite enjoyed this reply on the Bolton forum:
Wholehearted lad. Best he"ll make is a lower premier league midfielder talentwise I think. Maybe you will recall him?

Then cried a bit.
 
WHEN 10-year-old football fan Owen Morris caught Jay Spearing’s shirt which was thrown into the crowd after the Wanderers’ clash with Barnsley he was over-the-moon.

But just seconds later, the young Bolton Academy player was devastated when the shirt was snatched from his hands by a man.

When The Bolton News heard about the youngster’s heartbreak at losing the shirt, we contacted Wanderers who were only too happy to give the devoted fan a very special treat.

To compensate for his loss, Owen got to meet his idol Spearing and was presented with a signed Wanderers’ shirt.

The St Catherine’s Primary School pupil, from Horwich, said he had been “gutted” after the top was stolen but that meeting Spearing had more than made up for his disappointment.

The youngster’s father, Gary Morris, said they had all been shocked when Owen told them the shirt had been taken from him.

Mr Morris, who has been a Wanderers’ fan for more than 20 years, has been taking Owen to matches since he was three.

The youngster has been an Academy player since he was five.

On Saturday, March 2, Mr Morris took Owen, his seven-year-old brother Oliver, and Owen’s 10-year-old friend, Sam Twist, to the match against Barnsley.

Midfielder Spearing is Owen’s favourite player and after he scored one of the winning goals during the match, Owen told his dad that he was determined to get his top.

At the end of the match, Owen caught Spearing’s shirt and his friend Sam caught Adam Bogdan’s.

But as he was waving the shirt above his head, the shirt was snatched out of his hands. Mr Morris said: “He was so excited and at half-time my little one said he was going to get Jay Spearing’s top.

“He chucked it in to the crowd at the end and Owen had it for about three seconds and then the next minute it was whipped from behind and someone ran off with it.

“It was made worse because his mate had Bogdan’s shirt.

“I told him it was part of growing up but it has been brilliant getting another shirt for him. I think he will get it framed to keep it.”

Spearing said: “As soon as I heard about Owen having my shirt taken at Oakwell then I arranged for a replacement that I wanted to present to him at our training ground to lift his spirits.

“It was great to see how much it meant to him and hopefully he’ll be wearing it with pride at the Reebok soon.”

Freedman has had to be thrifty in the transfer market since his arrival in October and has also raided the loan market for short-term solutions, such as Jacob Butterfield from Norwich or Steve de Ridder from Southampton.

The Scot makes no secret of the fact he intends to bring another couple of “quick fixes” to aid his tiring front line before the window closes at the end of the month.

But after Spearing’s man of the match display against Brighton, the Wanderers boss reiterated that a deal to sign the midfielder on a permanent basis is not currently on the cards.

“I’ve got a football club to look after here and that’s all I am worried about at the moment,” he said.

“Jay is a part of that, and so is Craig (Dawson). The deal is that we work him and give him back to Liverpool.

“All I’m really interested in when they go back to the parent clubs is getting a ‘well done, thanks very much’.”

Spearing’s performance did prompt praise from the manager, however, with Freedman delighted by the attitude shown by the 24-year-old ball-winner.

“When I first came here I don’t think I played him for the first couple of games and he told me he desperately wanted to get back in,” he said. “I knew from the way he was talking to me that he was serious.

“I thought once he got to know how I work and how I play that it would work because he is very coachable. As you’ve seen now he’s great. He’s growing up as a young guy.

“It’s the first time he’s come out and played 20-odd games, so he’s growing in confidence and he’s buying into what we’re trying to do. He’s a pleasure to work with.”

Has a year left on his contract.
 
I love Jay but he's never going to make it as a regular for us. I hope he has a great career and that we get a decent fee for him. I reckon he's worth about £4m-£5m (minimum we should accept is £3.5m)

Actually he'd be great for Celtic! Jay + £9m for Wanyama?
 
If he only has one year left on his contract we won't get very much for him, if anything.

Good player, but sadly we do probably need better if we are to challenge for trophies. Good luck to the guy though.
 
"It was great to see how much it meant to him and hopefully he’ll be wearing it with pride at the Reebok soon.”

No wonder he never made it with us if his shirt fits a 10 yr old.

There's no way on earth we're getting 4-5M for Jay Spearing mate.

Probably not but it's about his true worth. When you see EPL clubs signing thoroughly average midfielders like Howson, Delph, Snodgrass, Jarvis etc for anything between £4m-£10m then Jay should fall into that bracket.
