There’s no doubt we benefited from Christie being an Aberdeen player but it was a sore one being such a huge part in his development only for him to score a winner against us in a league cup final because sellick are tight c***s and wouldn’t fork out for McGinn Difficult to say if the pros outweighed the cons on that one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hedged our bets on Christie and didn't pursue other key targets because of it. Was it agreed? We never had an option to buy. Transfers fall through at the last minute all the time, I don’t think they messed us about necessarily. 31 minutes ago, Frank Grimes said: There’s no doubt we benefited from Christie being an Aberdeen player but it was a sore one being such a huge part in his development only for him to score a winner against us in a league cup final because sellick are tight c***s and wouldn’t fork out for McGinn Difficult to say if the pros outweighed the cons on that one He could have went to Hibs or Hearts on loan instead and still scored the winner against us. Christie got us two assists away in Bosnia when we were heading out to put us through in the next round in Europe, scored at Ibrox in our first win there in 26 years and scored as we reached our first Scottish Cup final in 17 years, whilst also contributing significantly to back to back 2nd place finishes in the league. It’s far from ideal loaning players from them but in doing so we were able to bring in a higher quality player than we would have otherwise and we benefited hugely from that. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As annoying as it is, potential moves to the big leagues down the line are a big reason these guys are coming to Aberdeen. Would be a great move for Rama, Serie A side just across the water from his homeland. He’s been a good player for us but definitely not irreplaceable. Should be a massive profit for us if he does go which we can reinvest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would we look for? £750k? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) We supposedly signed Ramadani for less than the reported 100k. He signed a 3 year deal at the time. An established Albanian international. I reckon we'd get around 2 million + sell ons for him. MTK Budapest will most likely have a sell on clause too. Either way we should make a healthy profit from him. Given our club recruitment model, this may be something we will have to get used (don't get too attached to the squad) to. I personally think he's been a very good signing for us and could potentially be a difficult player to replace. Before anyone suggests Baccus or Levitt as a replacement. Neither of them are as good as Ramadani so it's a big no for me. If indeed this is true, imo we need 2 new central midfielders now.

Today alone, we've been linked with Ianis Hagi, an Israeli striker and now Ramadani is off to Lecce. This summer already appears to be particularly bad for Agents/random twitter accounts/small independent media outlets making up stories.

DrewDon Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I do like Ramadani, but I would like to see him stamping a bit more authority on games against the Edinburgh and Glasgow clubs if he is here next season. I thought his best performances last season tended to be against the poorer teams in the league, which is fine, but I also saw him falling out of games and getting bypassed a bit too often when he didn't have Shinnie with him. I would prefer him to stay for another season, but I also don't think him moving on for the right price would be a disaster as long we reinvested sensibly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
