Liverpool’s diminutive midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jay-Spearing-c18106 believes that he was lucky to be a part of a club whom he had supported since childhood, and claimed that not a lot of players would turn down an offer to play for the Anfield outfit.
After having led the Reds Under 18s to FA Youth Cup triumph in 2007, the English International made his senior team debut in December 2008 against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven in a Champions League match. Even though he struggled during his first two seasons to secure
a place in the starting eleven, Spearing was able to win the confidence of the former manager, Kenny Dalglish who frequently gave him the first-team call-up.
All in all, the 23-year old has capped 51 appearances for the Merseyside club and is yet to score his first Premier League goal.
Nevertheless the midfielder, who hails from Merseyside, mentioned that he considered himself fortunate for getting an opportunity to represent one of the biggest club’s in Europe, and unravelled that he supported http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 since his childhood.
While talking to reporters, he said: “I’m at a club which is worldwide, I don’t think there are many players who are going say I don’t want to come to Liverpool. Being a local lad I’m lucky enough to play for the team I've always supported.”
Even though the Reds are yet to make their first signing during the summer, Brendan Rodgers revealed that some reinforcements are due to arrive by the end of the week.
With the midfielder having set himself the target of being a regular in the first-team this coming season, he vowed to give it his all to impress the new gaffer at the helm and was hopeful that he will be able to keep him from signing a player in his position.
“New players will come in, some after the summer or in the January transfer window, I have to stake my claim and show the manager that he doesn’t have to go and buy players in my position,” he added.
He also claimed that Rodgers' appointment marked the beginning of a new era at Anfield and felt that it will provide a chance for all the players to make a fresh start.
