Dyer happy to stay put

KIERON DYER has pledged his future to Newcastle, handing Bobby Robson just the selection poser he wants.

Dyer has been linked with a big-money move to both Manchester United and Chelsea, but claims he is happy to be a member of Newcastle's healthy midfield numbers.

"I thought when I signed for Newcastle the speculation would stop," he said. "I had it over a number of years when I was at Ipswich. I don't know where it comes from. Ken Bates of Chelsea has said he doesn't want me. Manchester United I don't know where that has come from. Our chairman has said I am not for sale so that is good enough for me."
