Guest Geordiesned Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Dyer signs for Hammers NEWCASTLE United finally completed the £8m transfer of Kieron Dyer to West Ham today. They did so after initially sweating over reports that West Ham were ready to make a £10m bid for Bolton striker Nicolas Anelka. The word from Bolton is that Portsmouth have bid £10m for the French striker, and this has alerted the Hammers who are ready to match it. And all United could do was hope that if West Ham do move in for Anelka, it will not stop the Dyer deal going through. In the meantime, Nobby Solano has to decide whether to join Portsmouth, while United expect to tie up the £2m signing of Abdoulaye from Bolton in the next 24 hours. All the indications coming out of East London were that West Ham would not come back for Dyer – but Saturday’s home defeat by Manchester City, and their failure to sign Giles Barnes from Derby County, has seen The Hammers in a near-panic mood. The Chronicle revealed in our later editions yesterday that the Dyer deal was back on and that Pompey had joined West Ham in eyeing Solano, and this is the case. But if Solano goes to either West Ham or Portsmouth it will be with a heavy heart. Nobby wants to be in London for family reasons, but he will have been told that Sol Campbell still lives in the capital and drives to Portsmouth every day. If Solano is unhappy Faye will be delighted to be linking up again with Allardyce, although United are not certain they can complete the £2m transfer from Bolton in time for the Senegalese defender to be in the frame for Saturday’s match with Aston Villa at St James’ Park. Faye was kept out of Bolton’s game at Fulham last night because manager Sammy Lee felt he was not in the “right frame of mind”. I am told that Bolton supporters are not exactly ecstatic that Lee is replacing Faye with former United central defender Andy O'Brien from Portsmouth. There is a lot of talk coming out of Spain that Barcelona have rejected a £3m bid for United for their right-back Juliano Belletti. And that the 31-year defender would want £50,000 a week to come to St James’ Park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean this bit "And all United could do was hope that if West Ham do move in for Anelka, it will not stop the Dyer deal going through." Should say 'would'.

Ikon Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 £14m for Dyer and Parker? Amazing. THIS. Staggering. Thank God for Icelandic stupidity! Instead getting Geremi and Barton or Smith for around £6m 2 better players and £8M in on the bank for us ....Quality dealing by Sam and the rest involved :clap: :clap: If this comes off, definately. I was aghast when we pulled the plug on the Dyer thing at £6m. If we can get another mill for the little c***, i'll be over the moon! I genuinely thoguht Ashley had f***** that one up, but fair play to him and his team if it goes through at £7m - although the sickening feeling at thinking we were going to have to keep paying superstar wages to a very average player weren't nice. So was i when considering that no manager probably wants an unhappy player amon the squad. But if this deal goes through and Dyer completes his move to West Ham today or tomorrow, then looking at this afterwards then it really was good dealing from Ashley even if there was a risk that the whole deal would collapse. 1. We earned more money through Ashleys decision. 2. We dont just give away players because there's a bid on the table. Maybe this could send out a little message that Newcastle wont sell if they dont think the price is good enough.Before we have given away players just for the cause of it Even if it doesn't send out a message to other clubs it surely cant do any harm either. At least £1m earned Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcol Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 sorry if this has already been mentioned in this thread but apparantley the reason why the deal fell through in the first place was that Dyer's agent had demanded a £2M "loyalty" bonus from the club as Dyer hadn't put in a transfer request! Needless to say the board wern't happy about this and said to West Ham if you want him you pay it in the same way we did with Joey Barton. Funny how the new deal appears to be £7M with a further £1M after appearances, it would be interesting to see if the extra money is going to the player, who after all deserves it! Plus if he'ed stayed till the end of his current contract he would be due a testomonial! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Monkey Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Fuck him now, anyway. We got more than he was worth, and i'm not expecting him to trouble us when we play West Ham. Although those who saw the £2m thing as being down West Ham's poor practices might want to reassess it bearing in mind the "loyalty payment" thing. But at the end of the day, we got GOOD money for an average payer, so kudos to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieMandias Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 The "loyalty payment thing" is a rumour for which there hasn't been the slightest shred of confirmation in any published story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcol Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 The loyalty bonus was the reason Mort was so upset with Magnus Magnusson spouting off that we were the ones to blame when it was the players agent... Anyway totally agree best shot of him, plus we got a cracking deal. Be interesting to see how many games he plays for West Ham though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 With this deal, Big Mike Ashley has put down his marker and served notice that there's a new chief in toon. West Ham and their mouthpiece Alan Oliver have been slapped hard around the jowels and both have been left reeling. Big Mike I salute you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Dyer stands in the centre circle with his hands on his hips, West Ham would have been better of spending 7 mil on Michael Flatley from River dance. At least ha can dance with his hands on his hips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOoPUlObPs4 Edit : notice they are doing the Dyer step over dance.

Nor will there be it's just a rumour from various sources but it certainly makes sense. I'm just pleased he's off and the last of the joung guns crowd who brought us down with the antics, behaviour and lack of any consistant perfomance on the pitch. The new set up need applauding.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 The combined fee we've received for Dyer and Parker is amazing. Two players that weren't really performing sold for £14m... great business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 The "loyalty payment thing" is a rumour for which there hasn't been the slightest shred of confirmation in any published story. The one that has made the most sense though. The other rumour was the one about Ashley over-hearing the West Ham lot boasting about the deal in a casino. No, after all the PR from Dyer's agents this summer and the stories about his family (all placed in the press by Dyer remember, these facts dont come out of random questions at interviews on other subjects), everything points to him and his agent engineering a move away and trying to get a loyalty payment at the same time. Maybe West Ham also tapped him up but were expecting us to pay the loyalty fee out of the £6m? That would be taking the piss and could explain the comments from Mort.

All they need is Jenas They'd be the match for ANY team then.....as long as the aim of the competition was to run with the ball for a bit (bonus points for sideways), pass the ball badly, fail to provide goalscoring opportunities, and be massively overpaid. In fact, if they could get Zakora as backup, they'd be crowned champions now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
