Toss up between him, Stephen Wright, Fraser or McNaughton for me. He’s certainly on par with Fraser/mcnaughton & maybe even Jess but I wouldn’t credit Wright with anywhere near that level, especially game to game & consistency Wright should be only compared to likes of Cammy Smith, Anderson, Dec McManus etc. in reality edit lol ? scratch that, I was thinking Scot not Stephen Wright. My bad ? Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I think it's testament to how good he is that the criticism has become so nuanced so quickly. Yeah he needs to mix up his deliveries. Might also be a good idea not to ask him to take every single one, going to get a bit predictable for opposition defences. But that's how important he's become so quickly. Our best attacking outlet Our best creator Our best crosser Our best set piece taker Also found time to race back from their touchline to his own goal to block a certain goal which would have lost the game. Plays 90 minutes every week as well now. Nae cameos for Mr Gurr to give him a rest. And he's just had his 18th birthday. Link to comment

Really hope he will also be in line to take direct free kicks, as he certainly looks like he has just as much of a shout for them as any other in squad right now. Link to comment

Wants to take the penalties too if Thursday was any indicator Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Also scary to say it but MacKenzie can learn a lot from Ramsay & that isn’t meant in a derogatory way towards MacKenzie, more so credit to how good Ramsay is looking Link to comment

Hope he’s not got ANY leanings towards any of the arse cheeks. I hate it when a young player says they support an EPL team as that usually means they are hiding a leaning towards one of the arsecheeks also & the EPL is a deflection. Would rather they just came out & said it’s Aberdeen or nae cunt. Like Campbell for example & interestingly enough one of my sneaking suspicions as to why millertime hates him ? he’s unsure as yet of Ramsay but I feel if he was to find out he liked a weegie team he could ignore a few crosses that hit the first man then Link to comment

We need to enjoy it while we can as he won’t be here next summer if he carries on like this. He must of been man of the match in atleast half our games this season. If wolves and Newcastle are watching there players with us it won’t be long till they pick up on him. The best prospect I’ve seen in a dons shirt. Wont be here next summer? What on earth? I'll eat my season ticket if anyone bids enough for us to sell him that quick. we dont do big fees Link to comment

He's an 18-year old boy and looks several levels above all those around him. If he doesn't have a dip in form, that is going to be noticed. It wouldn't surprise me if word is already starting to get around. It didn't take long for Ryan Fraser to be identified - and I think Ramsay might be better than Fraser. It was a similar situation though, Fraser came in from nowhere, as a young lad and was instantly our best player. Link to comment

Andy_123 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 He’ll have no regrets about going to Bournemouth. Made a name for himself there and must be getting paid £40/50k a week now. Agree his only regret will be that Bournemouth refused to sell him while his stock was at its highest. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Going to Bournemouth was probably the best move he could make. Went to a club where the expectations and eyes on him were less, and he could grow as a player and improve at a decent level. If he went to a premiership side, it's likely he'd have fallen through the system and ended up back up in Scotland or playing lower league football in England. His attitude is what will/is hindering him from making it as a better player. Link to comment
