saintjay77 Posted 19 March, 2009 Posted 19 March, 2009 Only 500k? For someone that was tipped to end up better than Theo half a mil seems pretty cheap. Hopefully he will show some of that promise when he returns and we can get more for him than 500k

saintjay77 Posted 19 March, 2009 Posted 19 March, 2009 Wasn't Lee Sharpe tipped as the new George Best once upon a time? To be fair there are probably plenty of kids tipped for greatness and disapear but I still thought there is enough about Dyer to get more than 500k for him. He has had to go to Swansea to prove he has some tallent but there is no reason why he couldnt do well in our set up which would surly increase the price? pallace missed out I reckon but then does Warnock seem the type of manager that would get the best out of Dyer?

How much did we get for Best, anyone? I thought it was £750,000 thanks to the tribunal. Dyer is worth more.
saintwarwick Posted 19 March, 2009 Posted 19 March, 2009 How much did we get for Best, anyone? I thought it was £750,000 thanks to the tribunal. Dyer is worth more. It was £650,000 with the fee increasing should Coventry gain promotion by 2010.
Scudamore Posted 19 March, 2009 Posted 19 March, 2009 It was £650,000 with the fee increasing should Coventry gain promotion by 2010. £650,000 then...
saintwarwick Posted 19 March, 2009 Posted 19 March, 2009 £650,000 then... I think Rupert Lowe was at the last Coventry game cheering them on.....
Window Cleaner Posted 19 March, 2009 Posted 19 March, 2009 500k is probably about right I'd have thought Crystal Palace didn't think so and Swansea are as yet undecided.
The Godfather Posted 19 March, 2009 Posted 19 March, 2009 Crystal Palace didn't think so and Swansea are as yet undecided. Going on memory back in January I'm sure Swansea were knocked back with a similar bid when they tried to sign him full time and Martinez was quoted along the kines of this.
explorer saint Posted 19 March, 2009 Posted 19 March, 2009 Wasn't Lee Sharpe tipped as the new George Best once upon a time? Thought the new George Best was Arsenal's Peter Marinelo now thats going back a bit!
Redondo Saint Posted 19 March, 2009 Posted 19 March, 2009 To quote Sir Alex, "talent is second to attitude when players are young and learning''. How true! We have quite a few ex-scholars that failed for this reason. Kevin Gibbons and Ryan Ashford were touted as wonder kids..........
Window Cleaner Posted 19 March, 2009 Posted 19 March, 2009 Going on memory back in January I'm sure Swansea were knocked back with a similar bid when they tried to sign him full time and Martinez was quoted along the kines of this. I don't think they actually did, not for 500K. The press might have talked about it but I'm not sure it actually happened. We'd have taken 500K to be sure,as we didn't it probably didn't get offered.
southamptonfclegend Posted 19 March, 2009 Posted 19 March, 2009 i swear Swansea made a bid of 500k... yet Warnock confirmed to the Advertiser: “Dyer was one of the players we asked about, but they asked for £500,000 and we just couldn’t afford that.”
The Godfather Posted 19 March, 2009 Posted 19 March, 2009 I'd like to think his value has gone up since his performances for Swansea have been generally good.
St_Tel49 Posted 20 March, 2009 Posted 20 March, 2009 Going on memory back in January I'm sure Swansea were knocked back with a similar bid when they tried to sign him full time and Martinez was quoted along the kines of this. The fact that they cannot afford it is not a reason for us to sell cheap.
Sheff Saint Posted 20 March, 2009 Posted 20 March, 2009 500k is probably about right I'd have thought Agree
