Unfortunately the new club are the same as the old club as in they would rather screw everything out of their fellow members to the point they are so weak they can point and laugh forever.

lubo_blaha Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Aye, we all know why Patterson has international experience, and it's definitely not because he's a better player than Ramsay. Ultimately, the player will be sold for the lowest possible figure AFC will accept and that the buying club is willing to pay. We'll see if Cormack has the balls to hold out for the right amount.He has international experience because he broke through to his club’s first team before Ramsay did. I’d hope that by the time Ramsay is Patterson’s age he’ll have similar experience at that level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland were crying out for a right back when Patterson came through but that isn’t the case now. If he was a left back he probably wouldn’t have any caps and wouldn’t be commanding the money he is going for now.

HarleyQuinn Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Aberdeen and Hibs supposedly looking at Conor McGrandles.

Arnie Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 11 hours ago, G51 said: This is daft. Patterson has played and excelled in the knockout rounds of European football, in addition to his internationals. He’s also a better player. Ramsays a nice player, and I think he’ll become really good, but Aberdeens record sale is £3m. If Ramsay can fetch £5m that would be seriously good business. Aberdeen can’t push for the kind of money the Old Firm can, they don’t pay the wages for it. Excelled in Europe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also good vs Poznan in last seasons groups and Lyon this season. Three weeks after that Slavia game, Ramsay got his first meaningful action for Aberdeen, playing 60 minutes in a 1-0 win against Dumbarton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Bologna now interested in Ramsay. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/rangers/calvin-ramsay-bolonga-become-6th-side-linked-with-aberdeen-ace-aaron-hickey-link-up-knock-on-effect-for-rangers-3513308 Edited January 3, 2022 by HarleyQuinn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 3 minutes ago, HarleyQuinn said: Bologna now interested in Ramsay. They paid £1.5m for Hickey according to transfermrkt. I guess that either they’d expect to pay similar for Ramsay or some journo has invented the story because Bologna recently signed a young Scottish full back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scotsman is a much more reliable newspaper compared to the likes of the Sun or The Daily Record. Whatever the case it still generates further interest in Ramsay which can only be good for us when negotiating a decent transfer fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 We won’t get anything like £10m for Ramsay. Transfer fees have never been based solely on a players ability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big al Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Ramsay moving in January is too soon in his career. He would be better playing a couple of seasons to develop. It’s all so impatient these days. Clubs have to cash in immediately , players need big wages asap. Shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate Ramsay but he should stay at AFC for a couple more years. Doig is doing that and will shine under Maloney, certain of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_14 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 If I’m Ramsay I’d be leaving asap as well. Get the big wages and get a loan to progress, worst case. It’s a short career and he owes us nothing - that’s the reality. An ACL injury could be round the corner, you never know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were previously linked with him under McInnes 2 seasons ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
