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. 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...

"Aberdeen are keen to lure him back up to Scotland this winter as they look to bolster their ranks ahead of the second-half of the season." https://the72.co.uk/259268/lincoln-city-midfielder-conor-mcgrandles-eyed-by-hibernian-and-aberdeen/ Not much to that story at all,i s there? Probably just an agent getting his players name out in the open. 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...

Exactly what I’m on about, if that’s the route Doig has chosen, really hope it works out for him. 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...

Probably just an agent getting his players name out in the open. Yeah I think it's a combination of paper talk and his agent trying to force a bigger move for him. We were previously linked with him under McInnes 2 seasons ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) No idea if he's a reliable source or not however Mainstandmoan: "Lots of activity going on but very little decided. I understand at present…. Ramsay likely to go in an auction but be loaned back for the rest of season. Young replacement already identified Ferguson likely to go. Club believe the up front fee will be met. Zander Clark identified as a real target. May well be one for the summer. McGrath deal likely. Kennedy presently being offered as make weight. Campbell & McGinn also being mentioned, although Dean would only be a loan Hedges turned down deal to be highest paid player. Will go in January if McGrath secured & fee reached. Icelandic left back still being mentioned…. will update further when I have more. " Edited January 3, 2022 by HarleyQuinn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find it bizarre though that we would be interested in Zander Clark though unless Joe Lewis is leaving. The left back must be whoever the Breidablik left back was but I don't remember him standing out at all in the 2 games we played against them earlier in the season Edited January 3, 2022 by highland_mechanic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 A good fee for Ramsay and loaned back to us is a good result. Also pleased if we’re looking at a LB as we’re badly short there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in favour of Hayes coming back and he started well but it’s gone now. Tin hat on but I have my doubts if mckenzie will ever develop into being a top LB. I reckon his future is on the left of a back 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, and it's not even close. Lewis has just been in what seems like chronic form for a long time though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Lewis has been fine since he got dropped and regained his place. Unless he actively wants to leave I don’t see why a keeper would be a priority. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
