Dyer Attacked By Fans!

Dyer was booed by sections of Newcastle's crowd whenever he touched the ball when he appeared as a second-half substitute against Juventus.
 
Despite the fact his performance was praised by manager Sam Allardyce, it is only a matter of time before he heads south.


The Journal: "Fans screamed abuse and then surrounded his car, banging on the windows, as he tried to drive away from the stadium.

"The Journal also understands that Dyer's home near Ponteland has had eggs thrown at its windows since it emerged the 28-year-old is keen to leave the North-East so he can move closer to his young family in Ipswich.

"The news of the campaign against Dyer has not been greeted well inside St James's Park and there is concern that the actions of a few mindless yobs will hinder the club's attempts to attract players in the future."

Chairman Chris Mort said: "It's well known there has been interest in Kieron from several clubs and that he might want to move on for family reasons. However, he remains an important part of the squad and is working hard for the team as he showed with his performance on Sunday.

"We have got to make all our current players and potential new signings see Newcastle as a great place to live and it would be disastrous for the club for this sort of behaviour to be repeated."
