Now, there seems to be a stalemate based upon a new contract offer and the release clause inserted by Swansea.

| Galbraith thread, value, thoughts on a sale this summer on 15:49 - Jun 13 by Whiterockin | Hence the new contract offer and his refusal to sign, I wonder if the signing on fee will ever be disclosed. I will be surprised if he is still our player at the end of next week. |
That’s been the issue all along. |  |

Thing is, if he doesn't want to be here, it's best that he toodles off IMO We've had better players than him here and we will again. [Post edited 13 Jun 18:45]

| Galbraith thread, value, thoughts on a sale this summer on 20:59 - Jun 13 with 3489 views | PawelAbbott | There's no doubting he is a good player but he was at Right back for much of the season. If he wants to go then £8m will help fund a couple decent signings |  | |  |

We will net about £5M and Orient will have received about £2.8M in total, it will not fund a couple of decent signings. |  | |  |

We paid £1.5m for Galbraith 12 months ago. So we can fund 3 more Galbraiths |  | |  |

I believe it will be a long time before we are lucky enough to pick up another Galbraith for £1.5M. If Montague and Worth were still in place we would have more chance but they are not. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

It does.make we wonder why we didnt put together some better form of contract last year...one which gave an improvement after 12months...and with a sensible release fee.....im sure at negotiations then given we were paying such a relatively small sum for a player of his pedigree and potential a higher release fee close to whatbwe are currently askimg included using the arguement that we will be givimg a fair sum back in sell on.... That said Galbraith isnt showing much ambitiin if he goes to Southampton from us....after all had we had a decent ref we would have beaten them down here. Again thiugh we are well stocked in midfield if he does go |  |

Im not sure it will definitely be Southampton, possibly teams are posturing and making their intentions known. I'm still convinced he knows where he is going be it Southampton or somewhere else. The Championship will be a very difficult league to get out of next season and if Galbraith has Premier League aspirations Southampton may well not be one of the teams going up. |  | |  |

I doubt that anybody, anywhere imagined just how much of an improvement he would make over 12 months. I'm sure a lot of other teams are wondering about the one that got away, while we did a nice piece of business. The release fee, if reports are correct, are way above what anyone would have imagined 12 months ago. |  | |  |

League One player of the season, Ex Manchester United product, had a good loan spell at Salford before signing for Orient, several clubs wanted to sign him but he chose us. All the signs were there, did he join us because of the low buyout in the contract? |  | |  |
| Galbraith thread, value, thoughts on a sale this summer on 15:53 - Jun 14 with 2589 views | swansjack84 | It does seem the longer this goes on with the silence the more likely it's looking he will go at some point. Personally I excepted this a while ago. A good player but we didn't miss him when he was injured nor does he have the best stats That doesn't mean he isn't good. I do think he will go on to do well, but I have no time for players thinking they are the next big thing after 1 season with us and a few good international appearances. He'll no doubt get his move, but give it a season or 2 and he will do the same when another club comes sniffing. |  | |  |

When you sign a good player imagining the fact he is going to get better is their job. Valuations always increase when a player proves himself in a higher league. We all loved Piroe but we appeared to get a good fee for him. He has not proven himself up to Premier leagues standard - Yet. The "way above what anyone would have imagined 12 months ago" is an ready written excuse for someone who has not done his (or her) job properly. . |  |

| Galbraith thread, value, thoughts on a sale this summer on 23:33 - Jun 15 with 1615 views | jack_lord | I do wonder when a club will turn on a player and their agent and just shout Foxtrot Oscar as soon as there appears to be any kind of shenanigans. The club should also be shouting out loud to the fans what is happening so that person becomes an outcast and will be seen to their new football fraternity what they are about. All this pussy footing around is really narking me |  |

Yes, pees me off as well but that would be a case of cutting nose to spite face. Just as well I’m not a club chairman😁 |  |

I just wonder if Gorringes phone is off the hook until 1st July and we don't want to do any business until the new financial year. That's the date our two new signings are being registered, possibly we are in line with PSR this financial year and we are looking at next year. |  | |  |

I would have thought it doesn't need to be off the hook, just not signing anything until Kuly 1. |  | |  |

We could also demand payment in full not instalments, take it or leave it. Complying with the buyout but not making it easy. It would certainly help our cash flow next season. If it is Southampton they have never done us any favours. |  | |  |
