Looks like Forrest are just beefing up the youth team tbh. You get guys down there in the youth set up until 23 with no hope of playing for the first team. 8 hours ago, Rodhull said: Yeah could well be right. Think Ross' agent got him expecting unrealistic interest last summer. Took him a while even to go to Raith from what I recall. Ironically I think with the injuries/players out of form we had this season Ross probably would have got a pretty decent amount of game time. Ross would have been a prominent player regardless of injuries IMO. Badly advised, I feel, but hopefully he kicks on at Raith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully AFC were smart enough when they arranged the compensation with Raith, to agree a cheap fee to bring him back.

He showed some promise but tbh if he fucked off for an opportunity in England, landed at raith and hasn’t done the business for them then it’s a no from me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the potential to step back up in level but probably not quite the consistency yet to be attracting any serious interest. His best performances for us have come playing in a free role off the centre forward and he has been a genuine goal threat when playing in that role. In my opinion he is probably the best finisher at the club, although that's not necessarily a high bar based on this season. In the last few months of the season he has been played more out wide as we started to play two strikers more often and he's been more hit and miss there, and he's had a couple of niggles with injuries which haven't helped. He seems to love being at the club though and I would imagine that most Rovers fans are looking for him to step up and deliver on a consistent basis next season because he's definitely got the ability. When we signed him McGlynn hinted that part of the agreement was that Aberdeen would get a significant percentage of any future transfer fee we got for him. No mention of any agreed buy back deal for Aberdeen but then that's probably not something that we would disclose anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for that. looking forward to taking a % of the fee we pay to take him back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmain Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 F*cking piss poor from Ramirez. First few games I genuinely thought we had a finisher at the club to rival Rooney/Shearer, but his link up play was dodgy to say the least. Something that can be worked on, I thought. It's never improved, and he looks as though he has just couldn't be arsed in recent months. Genuinely wanted this guy to do well but what a disappointment. Going home with two games to go ?!? Sssssake...I don't care if they are dead rubbers...that stinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Wouldn't actually be surprised if he has just fucked off without telling the club first and this is the club trying to put some sort of "positive" spin on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie Garner did say on Red TV that he'd spoken to Goodwin before the Dundee game and he claimed he fully expected Ramirez to be here next season. Maybe all that means is that Goodwin's observing protocol until negotiations for the termination of his contract are completed. But it did leave me less certain that he wouldn't be back. I liked Ramirez in the first half of the season, but his head obviously hasn't been in the right place since the wheels started to come off for Glass. I'm willing to believe there might be some reasonable explanation for letting him go but we can't be relying on someone so unreliable as our expensive main striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Just listened to Jim Goodwin’s pre-match interview and it certainly sounds as if it’s the club’s decision to send Ramirez back home. Sounds as if youth striker Liam Harvey will get some time on the pitch tomorrow night. Also, from what he was saying, it sounds as if Joe Lewis will still be seen as number one goalie next season. And Andy Considine to get a cameo appearance on Sunday, but not a start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be desperately disappointed to see the departure of your 'Starman' * It was only a couple of months ago you were defending him to the hilt and baffled why anyone would be happy to see him leave. Well to paraphrase you, "no ifs, no buts, I'm happy enough to see the back of him" His performance and general attitude on the pitch since Glass left has been very poor *There's a Starman flying in the sky, they say he'll come back and see us but that just blows our minds.
