Liverpool being linked with a move.

 

The sad truth is that Liverpool are a properly run club with ambition. The complete opposite to United.

If you were a player with any idea of success either in Europe or here why the hell would you come to Newcastle ?

He's just behind Lee for me like, Cabaye has far more to his game than Speed as good as he was. He even has attributes Lee didn't have, I.e. vision etc. for me Cabaye is a top top top player.

Also, him and Dyer were a brilliant partnership in midfield. The best I've seen in our colours. They could both win the ball, play it and do damage in the final third.

 

Both players would obviously improve us tenfold right now. When was the last time we had a CM capable of bringing the ball forward like Dyer used to? :(

 

 

Edit. Actually we haven't had a player like that after Dyer. :lol:

Always loved when Dyer would go pick up the ball the deep and carry it forward. Funny how solid he was at CM. Wish the fucker would have scored more though :lol: always used to gasp or celebrate madly when he scored. Add to that his Southampton FA Cup away performance man. He looked unplayable.

Best performance I can remember from him. Did he score a brace or a hattrick that day?

Dyer did really well against Leeds (brace?) if i remember correctly? Didn't Solano play him through on goal with a great ball in that game as well?

 

I've been too drunk too many times since then so im not sure :lol:

He could have been a helluva lot better but when you look back, even with his poor end product he brought so much to that team. His running and pace complimented the good end product of Shearer, Bellamy, Robert & Solano.

Dyer's best form for us came in his 1st season imo.  I still don't know what his actual best position was.

 

I'd say just off the striker but it's a difficult one. God, how we craved this lad's return from injury, year after year after year. He gave us some canny moments like. I know he was integral to Bobby's demise, but not as integral as that cunt Shepherd, and I'll generally always have fond memories of Dyer.

His technique was under-rated. Very tidy first-touch and he had crisp short passing game. Had a fairly decent left-foot too. A level above your Moussa Sissoko's, Jack Colback, Tiote etc. his technique was as good as little Vurnon. His vision wasn't a strength but that's what Nobby was there for - and Nobby couldn't do what Dyer did so they complimented each other greatly.

 

"Just weren't good enough ultimately" sums up that entire team - it's a bit harsh to single out Dyer there. A lot of good to very good players, all of them lacked that bit to become real top class players except Shearer.

 

He's been gone what - 8 years? We've only had 1 CM that's been better in that period. A very hard lad to like of course.
