sooth_stander Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 14 minutes ago, The Hulk said: Good deal for the club, and a great move for the boy. Remember, he is still just a boy with alot to learn, and he'll now go in and train (and hopefully play) in a squad full of world-class players. Perspective; I think this is a record transfer fee for a Scottish teenager, one who is still fairly untested at a higher level (Europe/Internationals). A good deal for all involved. Agree totally. We can bitch about the fee as much as we want but it’s the law of the jungle, and the same law that allows us to pinch players from our lower leagues, and abroad, for relative sweeties.

JamieMT Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 £4.5m with £3m add on's and 20% sell-on according to the BBC. Sky going with £4m + £2.5m. ? The figures being reported now that a deal's been agreed are as random as they've been in the build up. Let's hope no matter what the numbers, this results in a little more in the way of speculation around who we're signing and not who we're selling. Link to comment

Literally discussing things that none of us have any clue at all about. No different to any other thread on the hat. lol 2 Link to comment

There didn’t appear to be a group of clubs chasing him so maybe this is the best deal we could get. If we end up getting the add ons, it’s not as bad as some are saying. Yep. I loved watching him, but he’s miles away from being the finished article. Looked incredible in a system where glass was giving full backs freedom to bomb forward… but later in the year, when we changed shape and went more conservative, he struggled defensively. Had a few niggly injuries too… hopefully he’ll grow out of them. Could still go either way for Ramsay… could be lifting the European cup in a couple of years… or could end up down the road at accrington Stanley! good luck to him though… if he does well we get money and good for our youth system reputation. Also love to see a local lad doing well (unless it turns out he’s a hun). 2 Link to comment
Chester Don Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Remember a large chunk of us saw him at Fumbarton for the very first time just over what, 18 months ago superb deal and well done to the club set up in bringing him through. Best o luck Calvin 1 1 Link to comment
Matt Armstrong's Dog Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Hopefully with all of the uncertainty regarding the transfer being concluded with it now being confirmed Calvin Ramsay has been sold to the scallies, surely a few badly needed signings to improve our team will now take place. Miovski, Lauritsen, Scales.......... The transfer money secured could also be used to pay off Gallagher and Bates. Link to comment
Zander1903 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 good move for both parties, hopefully has a stormer & earns us a good sell on when Barca come knocking Link to comment

Reed or deed Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I was going to suggest using some of the cash to pay off Kennedy and Mclennan, On 2nd thoughts that couple of jokers should be booked on to the next flight to Rwanda with the rest of them. Link to comment

Andy_123 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 £3m + £1m for McKenna £2m for Cosgrove (?) £4-£4.5m + £2-2.5m for Ramsay Typical AFC. £10m in transfer fees that happens to coincide with the black hole caused by Covid and our only shitshow of a season in the last decade or so. Good luck to Ramsay though. Life changing for him. Link to comment

This bodes well for the future. Whether you're a young lad at the start of your career or a target we're looking to bring in, you can have confidence that doing well at AFC will serve as a pathway to bigger things. Hell, we even managed to turn Cosgrove into a seven figure man. 3 Link to comment

BBC reporting £4.5m plus potential add-ons of £3m and a 20% selling on fee. Good luck to the lad - a move he clearly couldn't turn down. I hope he does very well and that turns into more dosh for the Dons. 1 Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 It's quite a move for the young lad. Not many teenagers move straight from Scottish football to a top two English team. Good luck to the loon 1 Link to comment

Hopefully we can keep hold of Connor Barron for at least another couple of seasons so that we can reap the rewards of this fine talent. We've had the best (of what we can) out of Lewis Ferguson, so any reasonable offer for him should be seriously considered. There still seems to be untapped potential in him but it won't be on display in an Aberdeen shirt I'm afraid. Link to comment
