Any less than that and we can't complain when we consistently lose young talented players for peanuts. Patterson is an excellent young player but Ramsay is just as good and with more 1st team exposure this season. Unfortunately English clubs will think they can low ball us. I think (or rather hope) that Ramsay is a level-headed enough young man not to spit the dummy when offers are rejected. Totally agee though, we shouldn't be accepting a penny less than the filth get for Patterson. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether we like it or not Ramsay isn't worth what Patterson is worth as Patterson has international experience for Scotland including a goal in Moldova. Ramsay will go on to have a good career (sadly away from Aberdeen) but it's ridiculous to think we will get the same price for Ramsay as the new club will get for Patterson. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay will go on to have a good career (sadly away from Aberdeen) but it's ridiculous to think we will get the same price for Ramsay as the new club will get for Patterson. It's ridiculous to think that Everton have just paid that amount of money, £12 million rising to possibly £16 million for Patterson. He could possibly justify and prosper but they've just paid for the finished article and received raw potential. There's risk involved in every transfer but you minimise the risk by striking a good deal. They've just been ripped off. However, we know that Cormack will be watching this and upping the valuation on Ramsay as we speak. Patterson is taller, older and more physically developed, a Sevco player which apparently adds a few more shillings onto a sale down south, with Scotland caps and Europa League experience. He also has the added advantage of being lauded by the Weeg press. In all honesty, we don't know yet whether Ramsey or Patterson is the better player. Or which, if either, has the nous and skill to make a career at the high end of the game. I'd say Patterson has done more at a higher level at this point than Ramsey, although there isn't a huge amount to judge either on. All we know for certain now is that Aberdeen fans are going to be up in arms when Ramsey leaves for considerably less than Patterson. But it's unfathomable to think that any club will follow Everton's lead with a similar transfer fee. Mind you, we got £2 million for a guy who, yesterday, sat on the bench for the duration of the game for Shrewsbury Town....

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.

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...

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...
