Work permit could take weeks to be granted or rejected. Would assume personal terms are all agreed. Will have to appeal it and put a case up for him being allowed to come over as it should be rejected! Link to comment

Yorston Vasey Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 On Devlin: "He will battle it out with new signing Declan Gallagher, Andrew Considine and Ross McCrorie is also being earmarked for a central defensive berth." Deary me. 1 Link to comment
Tord31 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Ramirez just got the small issue of a work permit now then? I'm still clutching at the hope he is not the number 1 striker. 1 Link to comment
The Gee Man Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 30 year old, not scored much in last 3 years! Perfect signing. Not sure at his age he can use us as a stepping stone to bigger things down south. But IF he signs and scores 25+ and then gets a championship gig and we get some money hey ho. 1 Link to comment
Henry Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 On 5/30/2021 at 8:27 PM, Don Pops said: My issue with Ramirez is I haven't heard of the lad, been living in California for 8 years and been a season ticket holder for San Jose Earthquakes for 6 years. If the famous Don Pops hasn't heard of him, the lad Ramirez is clearly a dud. Next. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I hope I'm proven wrong but I think the SPFL and MLS are very close in standard so it's worrying he's not scoring regularly at the moment. However sometimes a striker needs a change of scene and we can hope he comes good. I'd be very nervous if our three strikers are Ramirez, Hendry and JET. That's got JET becoming number 1 and managing 12 goals all season written all over it. Link to comment

Although I suspect even with a large wage cut, he'll still be on a reasonable wage here based on rumours of his current wage. Going by DC's traffic lights comment regarding wages and minutes on the pitch it makes me think he'll be first choice. Link to comment

Bang, 30 goals a season I'm sure we'll know by the end of July if he's going to be any good. I'm hopeful but it would take a lot of pressure off him by signing another striker likely to do something (e.g. not Hendry or Hornby) Link to comment

Im really pleased to see our player search expand beyond the British isles and applaud the club for trying something different. He can't be any worse then Main, Cosgrove of this past season, Hendry, Kamberi or Hornby. He's worth a shot and clearly wants to be here so good luck to him. 2 Link to comment

It's definitely good to see us going for someone outwith the list of players who had 1 good game, or good goal against us. Or recycling old players and targets. Yeah I'll support him all the same. Unfortunately though, being no worse than those you mention isn't really going to be good enough. It's a 20 goal a season striker we need. Like you say though it seems he wants to be here so hopefully that counts for something. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Delusional/condescending hopes & dreams from Cormack/Glass if they think this is the level for our 1&2 choices up front. I hope they are still after an actual striker that is capable of hitting 20+ & these 2 are just added extras/bonus experiments Cormack lives in some fantasy football world He’s chairman of Aberdeen not some wee shite club fighting to stay in top flight 1 Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 The Ramirez thing doesn’t make any sense to me… at this stage in his career why is he agreeing to take a wage cut to move from TX to Aberdeen? Seems like he has a young family according to his Twitter… Surely just stay in the US, pick up some cash and look after your family? Link to comment

blowupsheep Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I can see the Ramirez thing happening as he ticks the main boxes of being 30 years old or above and hasn't scored all that much of late ? Link to comment

slippers Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Really hard to see how this is going to work out. I think it’s a disappointment based on what was said in regards of recruitment if he is our no1 striker. I hope we actually get some decent creative players in the door and I’ll feel a bit better about it all. Link to comment

If any striker had scored "much of late" they wouldn't be joining Aberdeen. They would be going to England for double the money. Link to comment

At least we are looking outwith the UK for players, and despite knowing absolutely nothing about him, he'll surely struggle to be worse than what we've had up front since Cosgrove's purple patch ended. Is there going to be a big enough difference between him and those names above to justify the big money (by AFC standards) he'll be paid? That's the real question. 1 Link to comment

I wouldn't like to think of myself as a pant pisher but 2-3 months in to the Glass era and we have not seen any evidence to back up the backhanded slagging of the previous regime and recruitment, and the great big promise of bringing in players of a higher standard. We've signed JET, Gallagher and Brown so far which given the chance McInnes would have signed them all. He certainly was trying hard to get Gallagher, and JET would have been a typical McInnes signing too if he decided against the three loanees. McInnes seemed like he was binning Devlin and McGinn to freshen things up but Glass has gone ahead to keep those two. Link to comment

Keeping Devlin is up there with the most stupid player decisions we’ve made in recent years. Run a sweep to see how long it is before he’s injured. Again. 1 2 Link to comment
