Despite his lack of technical ability, he does seem willing to work hard and put a foot in. He can't be any worse than Muamba on the ball, which seems to be a major criticism from Liverpool fans, so if he can provide the effort Muamba did, maybe he'll be a good replacement. If we give Spearing a limited role, I think he'll be ok for us. I hope he is straight into the team, personally.

Won't make any difference, while that knob you support is in charge he will be splinter picking

Watch the video I posted, You may just change your mind.

Video's don't mean shite all! i remember when we signed Braaten and he looked like Pele.

Lets see how he performs in a white shirt before he is judged.
I think videos mean quite a lot to be honest, They give us a chance to watch, Study and learn a players strengths and weaknesses. Going off most of the videos I've seen of Spearing in a Liverpool shirt he doesn't have many strengths at all. I'm willing to give him a chance, I'm also willing to say I told you so when it doesn't work out. :mrgreen:

A 90 minute one maybe, not some feckin 3 minute youtube job with an obvious bias either for or against a player. Would you turn down Mesut Ozil after seeing this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VdJ5pNzAww" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And per your final comment you can't have your cake and eat it..

The thing is with Ozil- I can find plenty of videos that show his quality, 3 minutes or not. I can't find a single video of Spearing that makes me think, Yeah he's a good signing, He'll be a great addition to our squad. I've seen Spearing play lots of times (Thanks Liverpool TV) and never been impressed.

So are you going to condemn him before he even plays a game for us despite him being what we need positionally?

No, I said I am willing to give him a chance. But I'm not looking forward to it.

So your initial opinion is already biased then.

Well it's not going to be neutral when I've seen the lad play and haven't been impressed.

glad its a loan as throwing £3m on this guy would seem a big risk given his rep amongst those that have watched him.

why just 6 months though? seems daft.

And given Coyle's previous, I wonder if that photo will be the nearest we ever get to see him in Wanderers colours....

Had a chat with my Scouse-supporting neighbour this morning. He reckons Spearing is no Gerard and co, but a solid enough, decent player who should improve us. Gets stuck in (a phrase already adopted) and can use the ball well enough. Thinks it's a good move and a positive one. My neighbour's a sensible bloke, cut above your average plastic Scouser, and knows their team and play inside out. Sounded impressed we'd got Spearing. Time will tell no doubt, but it's a start.
