Drogheda are in a relegation battle and are an average side at best. Conor Keeley is their best defender and has potential. He won't be at Drogheda next season but they will want to keep him for the rest of the season. If he leaves, Drogheda are in big trouble.

This was my original thinking as to why the bids were turned down. His value to the side is probably of more value than a transfer fee. 
I did ask the question on Twitter if he has any pace and the reply I’ve had is that he isn’t very quick, more of a solid defensive unit. I’m not sure exactly how that fits our style of play as we need a tall, solid, but mobile CB.

 

but if the money that comes in for him, could be used by the club to play some additional players wages, split into two signings or even one marquee signing their struggles could be narrowed down.

i would guess notts are offering between 20-40k for his services.

that could be used to strengthen their side, rather than losing a player for free. its a very notts approach to business. with wootton and rodrigues leaving on frees, despite clubs have been interested and speculated to have had offers made for them during a season.

He'd be a fantastic signing.  I've been aware of him since he was at Ballymena.  He's obviously a big strong centre half but very comfortable on the ball and a huge threat going forward too.  Also capable of goals like this..
