Got way too much abuse, hopefully he makes a nice career for himself, good luck Jay!

Yeah good luck to the lad.

Would rather see him go to Wigan (or similar) than that shambles Blackburn though.

Surely Bolton would take him at that price though? Their best player has to be worth at least 1.5m.

Blackburn Rovers agree fee for Liverpool midfielder Jay Spearing

BLACKBURN Rovers have agreed a £1.75m fee with Liverpool for midfielder Jay Spearing.

Spearing would follow defender Matthew Kilgallon into Ewood Park with Crystal Palace midfielder Alex Marrow, who has travelled with Rovers to Portugal, also expected to put pen to paper.

But any deal for Spearing is dependent on Rovers offloading a senior player with the move only agreed in principle.

Martin Olsson, Gael Givet and Mauro Formica are among those who could head for the Ewood exits as boss Gary Bowyer frees up cash to complete the Spearing deal. Personal terms with the 24-year-old Liverpool man have yet to be discussed, with the Reds waiting for Rovers to come up with the funds before granting permission for talks to take place. Meanwhile, Kilgallon has signed a two year contract at Rovers following his release from Sunderland while Marrow, who played for Bowyer as a youngster at Ewood Park, will follow him once formalities on his move are completed.

Rovers remain keen to add Spearing and with Liverpool ready to offload the midfielder – who is in the final year of his contract – a deal appears imminent.

Spearing spent last season on loan at Bolton Wanderers and the Trotters remain keen to sign him permanently but at the moment do not have the finances to facilitate a bid.

No other club has made a firm offer for Spearing, who won the player of the year award at the Reebok Stadium last season, and Liverpool are prepared to move on the midfielder in a cut-price deal having initially wanted £3m for the former Leicester loanee. Spearing is known to ideally prefer a move to the Premier League and may be happy to bide his time as he waits to see whether Rovers come up with the money required.

Spearing’s move now rests on Rovers freeing up space in their squad for the 24-year-old . Norwich head the list of clubs interested in Martin Olsson, while any departure for Givet or Formica would also help .
