The prospect of Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer being on the
same team again is a scary proposition given their infamous fight
during their days together at Newcastle, however, the scenario is
now a real possibility.
Bowyer, who has gained a reputation for being controversial during
his career, unforgettable scrapped with Dyer during a defeat to
Aston Villa in 2005. Both players were sent off and later punished,
but Bowyer is not concerned at the incident and insists he is a
changed man.
"We're fine now,'' he said. ''Back then when it happened, it was
just a crazy moment but I honestly don't have any worries about it
at all now.
''Admittedly, when I was younger I made many mistakes but now I'm
older, I just want to keep myself to myself."
The 30-year-old is now hoping West Ham manage to win the race to
sign Dyer, who appears set to leave Newcastle for reported family
reasons.
Bowyer added: "He's a great player, another international, and I
think that if he comes to West Ham the competition he would bring
would be very good for the squad. He can play anywhere across the
middle and as a striker, so why not go for him? Let's wait and see
what happens."
