Weston Saint Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/7560885.stm Southampton head coach Jan Poortvliet has denied Nathan Dyer could be on his way out of St Mary's. The winger recently signed a new three-year contract but was rumoured to be attracting interest from Celtic. The 20-year-old has been named as a substitute twice this season but Poortvliet said he is in his plans. "I came here with the mission to build a young, strong team for the future and I think Nathan belongs to the team," he told BBC Radio Solent.
Saint Mikey Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 Bit of a strange story. I'm not sure anyone took the Celtic speculation seriously and as with all the other 'senior' players, Dyer has to earn his place in the 1st team.
trousers Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 Is this the obligatory hollow denial that this industry often uses to push up the price?
Rebel Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 if anyone offers £3 million - or even £1 million take the money and run I say!
buctootim Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 if anyone offers £3 million - or even £1 million take the money and run I say! If we could find a few more like Schneiderlin at a maximum of £1m, £3m for Dyer would be theft.
stevegrant Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 Logic would dictate that this reported "interest" is complete ********. Why would anyone be pursuing him now, given that less than 6 weeks ago they could have got him for a relative pittance through a tribunal? Given that John Bostock, a 16-year-old with the likely potential to play for the full England side, something I suspect Dyer hasn't got, was only valued at £700k by the tribunal panel, we'd have been lucky to get £500k for Dyer.

Maybe its Strachan's way of a thank you and a helping hand to help us out the mire.

Word. I wouldn't be overly concerned about Celtic's reported interest, to be honest.
CB Fry Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 Maybe its Strachan's way of a thank you and a helping hand to help us out the mire. Well, he did seem to "give" his old mate Mark McGhee a million or so quid for Adam Virgo when both were at Brighton a couple of years back. Virgo barely got a game and has now shuffled back to Brighton. Go on Gordon, give us a slice of that Champions League dough that Rangers generously gave you by ****ing it all up last week
trousers Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 Maybe its Strachan's way of a thank you and a helping hand to help us out the mire. There's more chance of Dyer being whisked away by Michaela Strachan than Gordon Strachan. True as I'm standing here.

Wow, one player whose balls have dropped that isnt transfer-listed...
benjii Posted 15 August, 2008 Posted 15 August, 2008 I know where Jan had dinner today. It's not terribly pertinent though.
TopGun Posted 15 August, 2008 Posted 15 August, 2008 There's more chance of Dyer being whisked away by Michaela Strachan than Gordon Strachan. True as I'm standing here. She was hot 20 years ago though. I'd have been whisked away.
KMondo Posted 15 August, 2008 Posted 15 August, 2008 Could happen...she has a thing for small animals

I'm not sure anyone took the Celtic speculation seriously and as with all the other 'senior' players, Dyer has to earn his place in the 1st team. Also, why on earth would Celtic only want to make a play for him now when they could have had him for next to nothing when he was out of contract. He would cost 3-4 times more now than any tribunal would have offered before he signed a new deal. None of it makes any sense at all in that respect.
