Wotte Dyer Deal Getting Closer

Nathan Dyer's permanent move to Swansea City is edging ever closer according to Saints boss Mark Wotte.

Speaking on Southampton's official site the Dutchman talked openly about the state of the negotiations between the two clubs and has revealed he is wating for an improved offer from Huw Jenkins for the winger, he said, “Nathan Dyer is still waiting to see what Swansea decide to do and we are waiting for their Chairman to make a better offer, but we are getting closer."

Swansea have seen an offer of £200,000 for the winger rejected by the Hampshire club and Wotte is urging the Liberty Stadium outfit to up their bid as he believes there is still a deal to be done, he said “If Swansea really want Nathan then they have to improve their original offer and then perhaps we can complete a deal. He has told me that he really wants to stay there, so if Swansea can come up with the money then he will go and I can accept that."

However the former Ado Den Haag boss is standing firm and will not allow Dyer to walk away from St Mary's for a rock bottom price as he now adds,“We are not desperate because we are still negotiating a better future for our football club.I think some clubs are trying just to pick up our players for a bargain and we are not prepared to let that happen.

The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure

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.
