slippers Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 15 minutes ago, Ernie McCracken said: Folk can what they want about Patterson not being relevant, but it is. His transfer makes a £4 - £6 million for Ramsay an insult. Hope Dave holds his nerve. As much as I think Ramsay is a unbelievable talent we won't get more than Rangers have. Fee is also gauged on size of club and unfortunately Rangers 2012 are seen as a bigger club than us. Having said that I definitely want 6m plus now. Im in a chat with huns of have been laughing at me all week on my assumptions so I really want to get it up them with this transfer fee. They seem to think 2-3m which would be an absolute insult. Only way we get anywhere near that figure is if he has a clause in his contract. Link to comment
Guest Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Quite the fee for Patterson. Useful for us, we should hold out for much, much more than is being quoted. Link to comment

Well the buying club can factor in whatever they want to decide the size of fee, but ultimately its up to DC what we're willing to accept. Therefore if the buying club explains that we're a smaller club than Rangers and therefore the fee is considerably lower, I don't expect him to say "OK then well now that it's been explained to us, we'll accept your paltry offer" £6m is a disgrace. I think Patersons transfer makes Ramsay £10m plus. 2 Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Surprised Everton are sanctioning this After their result today I thought there was a reasonable chance they would have dunted Benitez. Their early season form has kept them just out of the relegation places but they are in total freefall. He's surely a definite goner if he doesn't beat Leicester in their next league match I suppose at £10million or so it's relative chicken feed to them so even if they do end up with a new manager it shouldn't affect their transfer budget too much Link to comment

They’ve also given him more input on transfers so surely can’t be thinking of dunting him less than a week into January Link to comment
Rubinho Escocia Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hope Ramsay stays for at least the season, but if he does leave it’s important to go somewhere he plays. if Patterson goes to Everton then I doubt he’ll play as he’s currently pretty hopeless defensively. For me if Patterson is not playing at Everton it gives Ramsay a better chance to make the Scotland Slot his own if he’s playing and playing well, which in turn increase his chance of a big move and playing post the move. If you go back a few years we had Fraser, Jack and Fyvie coming through and for me Fyvie was by far the best player out of them. However he sat on the bench for years at Wigan and never really recovered whilst the other 2 have been capped. Ramsay needs to avoid doing the same and continue to play; preferable here.

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 In a simple world Ramsay should be going for more because he appears a better player. but if you’re on the outside looking in - you probably look at Patterson having proved himself when called upon for Scotland and in Europe. Ramsay hasn’t had those opportunities. Patterson is also playing for a team who deal with bigger fees and wages than us in and out. then you look at Aberdeen and see a team who’ve been shite this season, conceded heaps of goals and Ramsay has missed loads of games. not particularly surprising if one is worth more than the other at the moment. Hopefully Ramsay gets a chance to prove how good he is, while he’s still here Link to comment
Ernie McCracken Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I see Mciness has picked his premiership team of the season so far. Going with a 3 4 3 formation. Does anyone know who out of Tavernier or Patterson he chose for right wing back? Link to comment

He will play as he’s taking over Coleman’s role.33 year old.they also signed a really good left back for 17 million from Kiev also young 22.looks like Benitez is going for attacking wing backs Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 When was the last time Everton scouted & bought a young & potentially exceptional talent? Just curious as to what their success rate their great scouts have in this sense to mean that MT holds their judgment in such high esteem to opt for one RB over another & at more cost. Maybe they think they’re buyin Naismith again Link to comment
