Liverpool can fuck off. Robbing Scouse bastards.

Put up or shut up, laaaaaaaa

[Reed or deed]

Can’t afford to play too much hard ball and risk losing the sale altogether.

If that happened Ramsay would be sick as a cunt and probably not want to play for us any more.

Hold out yes and of course try to get as much as possible but there is a critical balance.

[For Fecks Sake]

This is fucking ridiculous, losing out finest talent for peanuts every year, so we now play hard ball and some fans are like "aye steady on, don't want to risk losing the sale altogether now do we, best play it canny...."

Club cannot fucking win ?

Why do people keep thinking that our recruitment this summer is dependent on player sales. Our budget will be based on what we can afford and ideally retaining our best players, Ferguson, Ramsey and Barron. But we all know the first two look likely to leave, so any funds from those sales should be seen as a bonus.

Its because its less than a month until the start of the season, and we need about 10 new players. So people are trying to rationalise the lack of activity/signings.

Aye, but that doesn't take away from the fact that player sales aren't factored into our planned budget. It'll supplement it if/when they happen.

The reality is that no1 had a clue what we wanted and 1 paper said we wanted 4m rising to 6 and everyone ran with it. Fair play to club. We should be prepared to walk away from the negotiating table if we don’t get what we want.

To be fair a few of them are saying that Liverpool should just pay it. 

[Ernie McCracken]

To be fair its only an extra million.  

They can moan about the add ons, but that's a red herring. If he meets the criteria to trigger the add ons then by definition he's worth it. 

If hes not up to it then he won't trigger the add ons. 

[JamieMT]

If they truly want Ramsay, they'll pay it. We're not that far apart and the difference while a lot to us is Chicken feed for Liverpool.

My gut feeling is if he played for a League One club, they'd have paid up already. It's not Ramsay's worth they're quibbling over so much as it is ours.

Hope AFC hold firm and win out, this sets a precedent for all future transfers.

Absolute wet blankets.

“Ooh Liverpool might pull out”. Whoopdee fucking doo! Since when did selling your best players become top priority for fans? Modern fitba min ??‍♂️
 

Scouse cunts can cough up what is relative peanuts for them or they can fuck off

Do you not think it's at all possible that people are just concerned about the fall out of pricing him out a move?

He already seems mentally weak, bearing in mind how he let the speculation affect him, so how would pricing him out of a move that he desperately wants affect him?

[Guest milne_afc]

Fuck him and his weak mentality. Our price or fuck off.

It’s gone up by 2 million since lunch time ?

Footballer inflation ... almost as bad as the fuel prices!

[Andy_123]

Good on the club for not bending over. I’m sure we’d accept slightly less than what’s now being reported, but always better to negotiate down from a higher starting value, rather than state what you actually want and get negotiated down anyway.

Even the Sevco fanzine's got onboard with the notion of AFC demanding a large fee for Ramsay. And (brace yourself Millertime) drawn comparisons between Ramsay & Patterson with it.

[RUL]

It’s going to drag on all summer. Hopefully we’ve made clear what we want and if they don’t pay it, fine. We’ve no other right back anyway.

[CCB III]

 

Looks like it'll be sorted sooner rather than later. Just a matter of the fee. 
 

With the amount we want there's definitely a scenario where we can agree with them. We're splitting hairs over a few million, not tens of millions. They'll pay, I think. 
 

Shame we never got to see more of him but good luck to the guy as he's technically the best player we've produced since maybe Jess? 
 

 

[fine-n-dandy]

It’s a no brainier for Liverpool as they know that even if he fails to get a regular game for them they can easily sell him on for decent enough profit (certainly no loss) just as they are with the other RB that has failed to establish himself. 
 

Regardless we need to be unmoving on our upfront fee especially.

Yeah I recall his “ lost his wallet in snow at relatives and got the flu “ whilst arranging his move

Without wanting to appear a pedant isn’t the fee the main stumbling block and the only thing of concern to Aberdeen rather than Ramsay agreeing wages which was never going to have been a problem for him and something quite frankly I don’t give a flying fuck about.

He’s a completely different type player who left us to join a team battling relegation. I don’t think it can be understated that he’s going to join 1 of the best teams in the world. His form may of dipped, and need to work on his defensive side of game but technically he is absolutely superb for his age. Hope he plays enough next season to continue his development as he could end up being 1 hell of a player.

Ooft, the obsession continues.

Have we sold him for more than expected then? When did he sign for them?
