The Daily Mirror is reporting that Leicester City are interested in signing Liverpool’s Jay Spearing on a permanent basis. The Foxes are believed to have already opened talks with the Merseyside club about the possibility of a sale. The 21 year old midfielder has started frequently since joining the club on loan back in March and played an important role in the end of season race for the Play-Offs. The Championship side lost to Cardiff City in the Play-Off semi finals but manager Nigel Pearson is keen on signing Spearing either on a season long loan or more preferably on a permanent basis. According to the paper, Liverpool have already agreed that Spearing can return on loan next season but they may have to be persuaded to sell the young midfielder.

We could only sell him to them if they paid his bus fare ( as well you know we are broke)
For those who constantly propagate some ridiculous rumours. It’s important for Liverpool fans to know that LFC do not need to savage the team we have now. We need to add only a few select players to make a real difference to our squad. That can be done with selling some players like Riera, El Zhar, Degen, Plessis, Babel, spearing and dare I say, possibly Mascherano or Gerrard. These players including one or the other of Mascherano or Gerrard could easily bring in up to £50 million.
These funds could be used to maybe bring in the likes LB – Kolorov or Taiwo, LW – Turan, Mata, CM + AM – Milner, Banega or J Cole, ST – Zidic or Higuain. The left side is the key area we need to improve. The money raised would probably enable us to buy 3 or 4 of these players.
LFC team for next season
Reina
Johnson
Carragher
Agger
Kolorov or Taiwo
Mascherano or Gerrard
Banega
Maxi
Aquilani
Turan or Mata (or both if more money is available)
Torres
Subs – Cavalieri, Kelly, Skrtel, Lucas, Pacheco, Kuyt and Zidic. There is then still some depth in the squad with other unnamed players and new young signings we already have.
These players are real targets that would change the dynamics of Liverpool’s squad. The 4 players for me would be Kolorov, Banega, Turan and Zidic, and all possible within the £50 million budget.
That’s a great call from DJ as all those players are in the 8m-12m bracket and with us selling the dead-wood we could easily afford all of them.
Having said all that, the one critisism would be that Rafa has said he wants British and none of them are. I think at least one of our signings will be a Brit. Apart from that, great! I rate all of them, although I’m still not sure if Kolorov can really defend.
spearing might well be form liverpool but for me, he can go along with darby, we have johnson and kelly both english for the right back slots.
2mill for both, add that to yossi going, plus babel and reira.
for me i have just about enough for that tart yossi, he has 4 months of a good end to the season last year and have been good in about 7 games this year, all he does is talk and talk about going or staying, do you know what just fcuking go will you, no one wanted you rafa took a gamble and paid 5 mill for him from the dreadfull club west ham? players have short memories! please leave list below;
babel- 9 mill
spearing 2 mill
darby 2 mill
san jose – gone for 2.6 mill
degen 1 mill
cava and intadge 2.5 mill
yossi 10 mill
reira 7.5 mill
nemeth – 3 mill
el zhar 2.5 millan flog
ngog 3.0 mill
aurelio – free to injury prone
if we can just flog these then we could recoup nearly 46 mill.
buy mata, turan, milner, are the owners not putting any money in yet again…. yes yet AGAIN!!!! AND FANS WANT RAFA TO MAKE LIVERPOOL GREAT AGAIN,,,, FCUK THE YANKS
Leicester wont pay £2,000,000 pal so dream on not saying he aint worth it but we aint got a bean either your looking at £1,000,000 max then maybe more if we seal promotion
