by all accounts 'multiple bids' has been talked about for a while now, that suggests a few cash deals are being looked at which would knock the skint idea on the head...for a loan player, do we not agree to pay a % of his wages, if so then no one can offer 'more cash' although they may try to offer a higher % of wages and let's face it, a youngster will not be too highly paid regardless of 'potential' so a % of an increase on a % of his wages is actually going to be quite small.
nothing has actually came from the club regarding galagher or jebisson, either to confirm interest or that we decided against them/got priced out/they chose a different club...chances are, we will never find out for sure so we are not even 100% that any kind of deal was even arranged although it probably is true we were showing an interest.
...but, and here is the rub...IF it turns out the club have stopped short of both players just so it 'sounded good for the fans' then it is going to take a long time for the fans to get behind the owners again, personally, i do not feel any club would stoop to those lengths to try and appease the fans as regardless of ownership the club has never been slow in letting the fans know they wont be spending...i really hoped something would have been announced regarding a LB by now considering we (apparently) dropped out of one deal as someone better had come available, hopefully we will hear some positive news soon.
