Swans Want To Seal Permanent Dyer Switch
He may have only been here a few weeks but the Swans are already looking to seal a permanent move for Nathan Dyer
Dyer scored his first Swansea City goal in the FA Cup win at Portsmouth - following on from a hugely impressive home debut against Reading seven days earlier.
And he will look to continue that form this evening as the Swans return to league action with a home game against Preston - the first of three league games in the next seven days - away trips to Southampton and QPR follow.
And the early displays of Dyer are enough to make the Swans keen to push through a permanent deal for the Southampton man.
Speaking to the Evening Post, Roberto said "We would like to keep Nathan permanently
"But it's not down to us. Any deal depends on the parent club and the player's wishes.
"We spoke to Southampton when Nathan joined us on loan about a permanent deal, but we'll have to wait and see. At the moment he is definitely with us until the end of the season so there is no pressure to do anything in this window.
"In football, as in life, there are always bigger fish. You cannot worry about someone else coming in because if you do you won't do anything.
"My biggest concern at the moment is making sure Nathan enjoys his football. He has had a frustrating time in certain squads, but he can see he can realise his Premier League potential with Swansea City.
"That is important because the player's opinion is crucial."

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week.
