I feel horrible for Jay. He was born and raised a Liverpool fan, puts as much effort as any manager could possibly asks for, and is a true team player. However, as many have stated, I just don't think he is, or will be good enough to play for Liverpool. He's had decent performances here and there, but where we want to go we need somebody who can consistently play well enough against the top sides. We have Lucas, are asking for another DM, so where does that leave Jay? And at 24 years old, he's not very young anymore. We can't say it's about his potential or what he'll grow into anymore, he has to start showing he's at the level we need him at.
I will always appreciate the type of player and person Spearing is. I'm sad to see him go, but I feel it's best for everybody if we were to sell him to a championship, or bottom-tier premier league club.
