Bizza 105 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Dyer: I'm out of the World CupBy Adam Marshall - Created on 2 May 2006 Kieron Dyer has confirmed that he has no chance of playing in the World Cup finals with England. The Newcastle United star has suffered another injury setback and his remote hopes of gaining a late inclusion in Sven Goran Eriksson's squad have been dashed. The former Ipswich Town midfielder has featured in only 13 games this season, scoring once in the FA Cup win over Southampton, and his appearance in the win at Sunderland will be his last in the 2005/2006 campaign. "Things could be better," he confessed to Sky Sports News. "I've had some more disappointing news, just of late, that I won't play any more games this season. "Obviously, that means I'm out of the World Cup but you have to take the ups with the downs. "I've had plenty of ups, I'm just going through a few downs at the moment. "I've got a whole summer now to get my leg right and come back and, hopefully, have a successful season next year. "I wanted to get right, first and foremost, to play for Newcastle. I've only featured in a handful of games and I think I owe it, not just to myself, but to everyone associated with the club to get myself right for that. "The World Cup was secondary and, like I said, [i'm] just to miss out on finishing the season for Newcastle and the World Cup." Not the most suprising news ever tbh.

Smooth Operator 10 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 He was out anyway I reckon, with the English midfield talent around at the minute, Dyer doesn't cut the mustard any longer as far as international football goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46088 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I'd take him ahead of Jenas if he was fit tbh. In fact I'd maybe take him ahead of Jenas if he was in a wheelchair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curry stained pilchard 0 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Agree, it's hardly surprising. Considering there's been about 7 England international games played since he last played (Azerbaijan 30 March 2005). Next we'll be hearing Woodgate won't be making it either...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 If he'd been fit i think he had an excellent chance of going. Sven rates him highly and the fact is coming of the bench he can change a game against any defence and would have been a big asset. He'd never start as he isn't in the same class as the likes of Gerrard, Lampard etc. but he'd have been great to have as a sub for England.

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Carrick and Nolan are leagues above him tbh. 130586[/snapback] Carrick is an entirely different kind of player and role in the team so i doubt they'd have been in direct competition. Nolan like Dyer has no chance of starting but i know who Sven would prefer to have on the bench as an attacking option if the two and it would be Dyer with his pace and direct running, so i reckon Sven would have taken Dyer.

However, I agree with you when you say Sven will probably take Dyer ahead of Nolan regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of having the likes of Dyer and Wright-Phillips, players who aren't going to start but coming of the bench against tiring defences can rip them apart. From what little i've seen i'd take Lennon for the same reason as he seems to have a hell of a lot of pace and would create problems for defences.

Guest Sima Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Aye, I don't see the comparison between Nolan and Simao. Simao is a natural right winger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
