I don't think RBL will actively try to help Man Utd but I do think they want a bidding war to happen. Regardless of how bad a position we're in with this window, we should stick to deadline and walk if they won't meet it.
The filth are assuming the RBL will accept their bid. I don't think they will or have.

IF RBL had accepted the bid & the Media is right that the lad want's only the filth.

(Funny how we were encouraged to bid after the player had taken time to speak with his family, agent and Klopp among others. Had the player been 'Only wanting the filth' we wouldn't have bid or wasted our time.)

As it stands regardless of all the media noise.

1. The filth have not matched out bid
2. RBL have not accepted and won't accept less money
3. The player hasn't decided between the two clubs
4. The filth only put the insulting lowball offer in because we were clear to sign the player without competition
5. The filth have to sell the 3 losers on huge salaries to finance this. They won't
6. RBL will be encouraging the filth to up their bid. They won't
7. Wednesday there will be a conclusion to this. NUFC has said we want an answer by end of Wed

Should this one go against us. Here are the Strikers still available. I've put them in descending order of choice,

1.Woltemade - ?55m
2.Ramos - ?70m
3.Samu - ?80m release clause
4.Endrick - ?70m/Loan

5.Watkins - ?60m
6.Boniface - ?50m
7.Jackson - ?70m

Samu's release clause might make it a more interesting opportunity so it's non-negotiable.

However, I'd like to see us bring in Woltemade and Ramos. Two very good quality players.

Ideally I'd like Sesko & Woltemade. Those two would destroy defences, both massive animals + J7 +BDB + Botman with Tripz, Elanga & the new set piece coach... That's devasting!
