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!
A lot of that I agree with.

I am having a reality check day today.

Things are a little disapointing so far but c'mon we've had much much worse. True, not the moon on a stick but we have a goalie with an option to buy who can kick a ball. We have an amazing RW signed and potentially Isak sorted for another year with a get out promised to a non PL club. We still need CB, MF and a CF replacement for Wilson if Isak stays and we still have a month to do it Wissa could be that player and its a waiting game for him.

The more I think about it, we dodged a bullet with Ekitike and potentially Sesko. They are not worth the figures being quoted IMO but I like the altetnative names quoted by Raga above.

So that only leaves a CB and MF. I still have faith but the club needs to up its game gping forward.
