doubt Villa only just came in because we didn't close the deal earlier

and Fulham would have an interest in keeping them informed of our bids to promote a bidding war.
Odds are it was Fulham who were 'pissing around' (i.e. whatever we offered, asking for a million or so more) rather than us, hoping to attract other bids
