Shearergol Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 WEST HAM will sell Dean Ashton and Kieron Dyer at the end of the season because the Hammers hierarchy have become fed up with the injury records of both players. Under boss Gianfranco Zola, the club is trying to slash its massive wage bill and nurture home-grown talent as well as young stars with sell-on value. Neither striker Ashton nor midfielder Dyer fit that bill and will be moved on. The high-earning England stars are seen as a symptom of the previous regime, which saw the Hammers brought to their knees financially by free-spending Eggert Magnusson. It is understood Newcastle will be at the front of the queue for Ashton, 25, who, despite a string of long-term injuries, would still command a fee in the region of £12million. He has failed to live up to the potential that once saw Spurs bid £20m for him - and many at the club believe his best days are now behind the former Norwich striker. West Ham will accept £3m for Dyer, 30, who has broken down again after 17 months out of action since his £6m, £60,000-a-week move from Tyneside. Zola and chief executive Scott Duxbury are keen to promote youngsters from the clubs academy as well as bringing in the likes of Savio. The young Ugandan-born Germans fee could rise from an initial £5m up to £10m in a success-based deal. Despite the financial problems of the Icelandic owners, West Ham were able to fund the move thanks to the £14m sale of Craig Bellamy to Manchester City. http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/sport/150396/ASHTON-AND-DYER-UP-FOR-GRABS.html Like we are going to spunk about £12 million on Ashton the crock. Ashton and Dyer back for £12m would suit me like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
