Did the theft case earlier this year (where Dyer and Bradley Wright Phillips allegedly looted the waitresses' handbags at a club) ever get to court? If so what was the result?
He's under 24 so compensation would be payable if no fee is agreed.

Just found this on him was written by Steve Claridge October 07 Scouting report: Nathan Dyer, Southampton Hot on the heels of Theo Walcott and Gareth Bale, this fearless 19-year-old should graduate from the Saints to the Premier League before long. There is no rhyme or reason to the timing of a rich crop of youngsters. Clubs get a run of them, then they get none at all. Southampton's academy has brought through several exciting talents recently and Nathan Dyer is the latest to demand attention. The winger has moved through the ranks into the first team and has ambitions to become the fifth Saints academy graduate in Stuart Pearce's England Under-21 squad, joining Theo Walcott, Dexter Blackstock and Martin Cranie, who have been sold, and his team-mate, Andrew Surman. Gareth Bale is another product of the Southampton youth team and he, like Walcott, has made a high-profile transfer to a big Premier League club. Dyer played with both of them in Southampton's 2004-05 FA Youth Cup team that lost in the final over two legs to Ipswich Town. Good players respect each other, they drive each other on and Dyer has benefited from being part of such a good young side. When you watch Southampton, as I have done a couple of times this season, you cannot take your eyes off him. There is never a dull moment as he makes the easy things look difficult and vice versa. I forgot the amount of times he passed the ball without actually looking at where his team-mate was, gave away possession and suggested that he was on a totally different wavelength. On other occasions, when in space and under no real pressure, his touch would let him down badly. But then, all of a sudden, he would produce a brilliant piece of skill in an incredibly tight situation to leave two or three opponents in his wake or use excellent movement to find space, bring an over-hit ball under control and skip past his marker with a trick or blinding pace. There is no fear in his game. He looked to beat players and one audacious flick showed almost peripheral vision. He played a very high line, almost level with his centre-forwards, which meant he was able to get on to any crosses at the back post that eluded everyone else. He also showed the intelligence, when isolated against a much bigger full-back, to get across him, which almost resulted in him scoring a great goal. Dyer is quick and likes to give team-mates an option with his aggressive runs, but at times did things so quickly that he did not realise he had created so much space to exploit. This was probably not a bad thing - sometimes, the more time he had on the ball the poorer his decisions were. It must be noted, though, that he did some of the basics very well, hooking the ball on in deep positions with his back to play and quickly closing down the man in possession when he was the first player to engage the ball. At 5ft 5in, he is not picked out by the goalkeeper's kicks nor by many long diagonal balls, which can see him starved of possession, but he never hides. The crowd loves him and he is one of those players who get you out of your seat. The frustrating thing is he can just as easily dump you back there but, as he gains further valuable experience, I am sure this will happen less and less.

He is supposed to be quite the whipper snapper. Could be worth it, but i think I would prefer to spend money on a more established player.

If he is out of contract he would cost nothing. We would only be required to pay compensation if he is still under contract with Southampton.

Mattage. If a player is at the end of his contract and has been offered another and is under 24 then compensation is set by a tribunal (eg Commons to Forest) unless a fee is agreed (eg Henry to Wolves).
