Newcastle United are said to be interested in signing 27 year-old Swansea City winger Nathan Dyer, who has been at the south Wales club since he signed on from Southampton six years ago, and the right winger still has two years left on his contract at the Swans.
Nathan Dyer – Newcastle interested
Swansea City have signed former Newcastle target Andre Ayew as a free agent from Marseilles this summer, and so Nathan may have trouble getting too many games next season.
Nathan was born in Trowbridge, Wiltshire and signed on at Southampton when he was just seven years old and he came through their famous Academy.
He had loan spells at Burnley, Sheffield United and Swansea before finally signing on at Swansea in 2009 for £400K.
But we wonder if we got Nathan in whether it would improve the Newcastle squad much – always assuming of course there may be some truth in the report.
Newcastle are reported to be interested in signing 20 year-old Argentine winger Lucas Ocampos and he would cost around £8.5M – so he would be a better signing than Dyer.
In fact we be surprised if Newcastle are interested in the 27 year-old Swansea player.
Nathan Dyer is also said to be interesting Sunderland and Norwich City, and hes played 269 games for Swansea with 30 goals and 29 assists.
That includes 37 appearances last season with 5 goals and 3 assists and he would probably cost around £3M to £4M.
What do you think?

Comment #164Our Toon I know a little bit about it 😉 I haven’t mentioned some things ( unlike YOU damn you!) so I don’t give him more ideas 😐
But he is venturing deeper into the realms of unpleasant trolling to gain attention, which he’s not getting much of now thankfully ( apart from us talking ABOUT him). He could be modded out. He’s generated plenty of keywords already.

I get where you are coming from and Ed does need to do something about it but the more we highlight it the more likely the idiot is to stay around. It’s a sad individual who needs and wants attention, when that stops the idiot will go away and find his or her fix elsewhere

Comment #167Tsunki…I’m starting to wonder whether an Ed “block”, actually is a bit more like a time out?
Rule with an iron fist Ed. Go on, give ’em the fist.
I might be off for a time out now…
Blaydon…I’m not sure Beattie or Torq leaving had much to do with Wumageddon tbh. Beattie got fed up with the club and Torq was getting grief for his ITK connections. Personally, I thought they both were good for the blog.
Has TS gone or is he perhaps on his holidays? Wasn’t that long ago he was posting somewhat regularly.

I’ve not been on the other blog so can’t comment, they may have a completely different system set up in the way info is stored from users of the site which allows them to easily track down the idiots. I think this blog has more notoriety so hence more idiots to deal with. Ed give us a poll on removing trolls please

Comment #176Jib, I do apologise profusely. I wasn’t inferring anything. And as I am now BandB as well apparently, I apologise on her behalf. Mine, I mean. I genuinely wasn’t inferring anything honestly. I was saying outright that I think you are said creep until proven otherwise.
And about the threat, sweetie, and I’m not keybie sparring here, unless you’re seriously a tank you really wouldn’t want to meet me in the flesh, so let’s chill about the idle chatter eh? Just let those typing fingers relax a minute.

Comment #180Blaydon…Sniping? By WUMs or do you mean regular posters?
Yo…What, Roger?
On the issue of blog moderation, I do believe Tsunki is correct. If there was a desire to try and combat this, it would be getting more hands on attention from the chief or people of his choosing.
It is a shame.
Personally I think it might be Kinnear. He’s got to find a way to kill the time these days.
So then everyone, how many players will be announced tomorrow? I’m not overly optimistic, so I’ll go with 4 😉

Comment #183Ed
I have been on this blog for more than five years now. It has never before sunk this low as a forum for genuine Toon fans. I am deterred from both reading and contributing given the shameful level of debate from a few posters beyond the occasional comment. It is a very unpleasant place for too much of the time.
I am also disappointed in the editorial tolerance of levels of personal abuse from so-called fans towards other longstanding posters that is inflammatory, offensive and totally unacceptable.
If the WUMs and lowlife infesting this blog with their lobotomised comments are tolerated then the rest of us will drift away. If I were an advertiser reading some of the threads – including the thread above I would withdraw my account. Early action is called for. There is freedom of speech and there is hate speech.
I’m going to give it a few more weeks and then I’ll be off – for good. I’m sure there are many others like me who are just fed up with the gutter level comments and abuse.
And now back to football:

If this has been posted already then apologies – but will they change their spots ? The spotlight will fall on Penfold more and more the next two months. I’m not confident he has the nous.
