Kieron Dyer signed a 7-year contract when joining from Ipswich.
The midfielder was Ruud Gullit's only English signing and within
weeks of his Newcastle debut was called into the England squad
and made his full international debut.
Dyer had previously been touted as one of the most promising
young players outside the Premiership, as he had been well groomed
by his hometown club. He joined Newcastle after initially saying
he would stay with Ipswich following their third successive
play-off failure.
His outstanding pace and ability makes him a regular in Newcastles
midfield along with Jermaine Jenas that opposing teams simply
cant compete with. Although Kieron's goal scoring record hasnt
been as good as expected, his ability, passing and pace makes
up for it, and with more goals to his name could make him the
all round midfielder that every club wishes for.
