Dyer signed for Swansea City last week ahead of the postponed FA Cup tie at Histon but is now in line to make his debut in front of the Sky TV cameras at Burnley this weekend.<\/p>\n
And he is hoping to be able to put the stigma that comes with him behind him and prove what he can do on the football pitch rather than having people concentrate on his misdemeanours.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Western Mail, Dyer said \u201cI think how you pick yourself up from bad situations is one the main things you can achieve in life<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened was out of character and I don\u2019t really want to go into it that much.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it doesn\u2019t annoy me that it gets brought up. I can\u2019t hide from the fact it happened, so people will ask their questions and people will say this and that.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll I have been trying to do is put it behind me. But it\u2019s not about me changing people\u2019s minds. I\u2019ve got my family and my friends who know who I am and what kind of person I am and ultimately that\u2019s all I really care about.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think people can judge you as one thing and all of a sudden judge you as another just by playing football.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople have opinions that everyone is entitled to and as they see me as a person they can keep them or not.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut football is another matter. I\u2019ve always worked hard, always played well \u2013 I don\u2019t think anybody can question my football in that sense.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that\u2019s what I want to concentrate on. There was a bit of backlash from the fans at Southampton a few games after it happened, but that\u2019s past me.<\/p>\n
\u201cFootball is my job and that\u2019s what I want to get on with and do well in for Swansea.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I spoke to Roberto it was about football,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a top player and that\u2019s what it\u2019s about, trying to be the best you can be on the pitch.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, he has to ask around about me as a person, but he would do that with all players he brings in. There\u2019s no mention of anything else.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s got his own contacts and he can speak to people who know me and that I\u2019ve worked under and he can form his opinion from them. And, as far as I can tell, it\u2019s been all good, all glowing in fact which tells you a bit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no reason why managers should see one thing and form their opinion solely off that.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been frustrating the way things have gone for me recently<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a big believer in things happening for a reason \u2013 and happily now is a time for me to start producing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not too sure what happened at Southampton after getting my contract, but I wasn\u2019t playing and I knew at my age I needed games to keep developing. Sheffield wanted me for a bit longer, but I wasn\u2019t getting as many games as I would want.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I was so impressed when I saw Swansea play that when the gaffer came in for me to do a job for him I wanted to come and play for him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve done tremendously well to be where they are after getting promoted \u2013 but it\u2019s more than just where they are in the table. It\u2019s the way they play and personally I think they\u2019re the Arsenal of the Championship.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey play some great stuff and it\u2019s exciting to be part of that because I think it would suit me. And I\u2019m excited about what\u2019s ahead of me. There\u2019s a definite chance of getting into the play-offs because I really feel this is a Premiership team with a Premiership manager.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to get involved and batter teams like I\u2019ve been watching them do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
