Dyer

Saw this on FB and thought it interesting enough to throw to the group:

Former Newcastle United midfielder Kieron Dyer on when he thought he was joining Man U:

"There was a time with Man United when I was at Newcastle and my agent rings me and goes 'I'm now putting you on speaker phone' I'm at the airport at New York me and Titus [Bramble] are coming back to England. [My agent] says 'you're now going to hear a few voices', the first voice was Pini Zahavi who was the 'super agent', he was Rio [Ferdinand's] agent then the next voice was 'Hi Kieron, it’s Sir Alex' so I'm like [gestures mouthing Sir Alex Ferguson while pointing at the phone]

He said 'I just want you to answer me two questions, 'first is do you want to come and play for Manchester United?' I was like 'yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah'
The second was 'if [Newcastle] don't accept the bid will you go and kick up some noise'? Then I was like 'yeah, yeah' and that was it, he just hung up the phone.”

He would go on to make 250 appearances for The Magpies, scoring 36 goals and he didn't hear from them again. Clearly thought it showed him a lot about his character and stayed clear!

I would have driven Dyer down there if they'd offered the right money. 36 goals in 250 games, he was shyt. Over hyped waste of a shirt. Never rated the guy.

Bad attitude, thought he was something special. Always injured, never scored enough or assisted enough.

Wish he had of gone and get paid to be on the injury table at the swamp rather than steal a living on tyneside

Very good player but an absolute arsehole.

Was one of those who helped get Sir Bobby the sack-refusing to go on the wing at Boro (or so the story goes) and then there was that fight with Bowyer.

Cunt.

(and one of the other rumours was that when he crashed into the Swing Bridge it was because Cheryl Tweedy (Cole) was giving him a blow job.

Mind you… not sure I’d have my eyes on the road either
