Dyer wants Newcastle to drop price for West Ham move
tribalfooball.com - July 31, 2007
Kieron Dyer is urging Newcastle to drop their £5 million asking price so he can join West Ham United.
The Guardian says the midfielder wants to leave St James' Park to be closer to his family in Ipswich and West Ham remain frontrunners for his signature.
West Ham are understood to have offered close to £5m and he is now keen to leave the north-east after eight years and 251 matches for Newcastle.
There have been suggestions that Mike Ashley, Newcastle's new owner, is not overly keen to sell him to Upton Park; ultimately, selling him may involve Newcastle reluctantly accepting a transfer fee based on appearance-related instalments and breathing a sigh of relief at the chance to redirect the cost of his wages

Kieron Dyer will be reunited with his old sparring partner Lee Bowyer after Newcastle last night accepted a £6m bid from West Ham for the midfielder.
Dyer is set to join Bowyer and former Liverpool bad boy Craig Bellamy at Upton Park after agreeing a fouryear deal that will earn him close to £80,000 a week. Dyer vowed never to play for Newcastle again after Sunday's clash with Juventus when his car was attacked by angry fans.
Dyer and Bowyer famously came to blows in April 2005 in the 3-0 home defeat by Aston Villa when they started fighting with each other after a pass went astray.
Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce said: "Kieron's talking to West Ham and he's agreed a deal so I would have thought he'll finish up where he needs to finish up to sort out his family problems. From our point of view, and from his, it's a satisfactory result.
"It's good to get a swift resolution to it rather than it dragging on. My job now is to replace him, which shouldn't take too long, and move on to other players."
As well as Bowyer and Dyer, the Hammers squad also now includes the fiery Bellamy who, when at Liverpool last year, whacked team-mate John Arne Riise with a golf club after a late night confrontation on a winter break in the Algarve. And another new signing, Freddie Ljungberg, was involved in a punch-up with Swedish team-mate Olof Mellberg in the 2002 World Cup.
