He bailed out when the going was tough. Says all you need to know about him. A bottler. 

That's not true though. He was given leave to go home after we'd secured our survival. The going couldn't have been much less tough, all the hard work was done, it was just meaningless games left. 

[Betty Swallicks]

I presume he's back for circa 4 weeks before being punted to some Bible Belt yank club when their window opens.

That would be the best all round imo.

 

 

[Broken_Glass]

While he's here and willing to be here (I guess time will tell) I will give him the benefit of the doubt and get behind him to bang in some touchdowns for us.

I agree with this to an extent- I think he just needed a break after so many games and the club agreed. It's not ideal and certainly some players would have stayed to the bitter end but it's far from the big scandal people want to make out.

Despite that, I'd still be happy to see him move on tbh.

Let’s look at positives. Ramirez is back. He was out top scorer last year by far from open play. At the moment, we don’t have other strikers, so at least with him being back, at least we’ll have something up front. Yes, he’s not Ronaldo or Haaland, but we’re Aberdeen and these days Ramirez is probably as good a player as we can attract. Just think of the numerous dreadful forwards we’ve had to endure over the years and especially recently.  He’s in Aberdeen player; he’s back; let’s get behind and support him.

He chose to fuck off early. 

He can remain fucked off.

Boy's oot of his depth at this competitive level and his wife's fucked off. It will not end well however you cut it

one of our best players returns. ?

Aye spitting the dummy and fucking off early confirms he's cut oot for it here, right enough.

Context, laddie

Ok, he can fuck off. Another player gone then. And our top scorer from open play. Folk crying because he went home early is pathetic. Goodwin approved this. Should he fuck off too. Ramirez is a dons player and dons fans should support him.

He's not out of his depth though. Not even close. He's one of the most effective goal scorers in the division.

Ideally.

He's joint 7th top scorer in the league - behind Bruce Anderson and 2 ahead of Nicky Clark and Callum Hendry to put it in perspective. He's nae scored and been very poor in general since February when Glass was sacked. All the evidence seems to suggest he's out of his depth here. F

Factor in that his family's off, and I think you're pishing in the wind with this one

To play Devil's advocate, he didna try a leg for the final 3 months or so.A fit, and motivated Ramirez is a lot better than the players mentioned in your post.

The key question, is will he be interested having recharged over the Summer? 

[Ke1t]

He's by no means out of his depth in Scottish football. 

He just has no respect for the club. 

[frankie_mac's_4]

Everything since February points to him just nae cutting it at SPFL level - oot of his depth. Without question he's a good footballer. Just a shit professional who's out of his comfort zone

Absolutely agree Parky. He had a very sub standard team alongside him for the majority of the season. If (and it’s a major if) we can up the supply to him this season he will score plenty of goals for us.

Do you support Ross mcrorie now? Or Langfield when he had a go at the manager for not letting him go to the hun?

He’s a family man, above all else, and his wife has already indicated she won’t be back to that 3rd world waste land in northern Scotland…

… I don’t understand folk saying ‘give him a chance’ or ‘get behind him’ … people need to stop kidding themselves, as this is only going to end one way!

We have a unhappy player, collecting a very large wage, that needs to be moved on so we can bring in replacements. We need to get this done soon - so we’re not parachuting his replacement in at the last minute and expecting them to hit the ground running without a preseason!

The current situation has all the hallmarks of a classic AFC clusterfuck in waiting… and as usual, we’ll be the losers!

greenbeer so I can revisit in a few months.

None of whom are "out of their depth" either.

Absolutely no evidence suggests that.

Not sure what that means tbh. All I've said is he's not out of his depth.

Not sure about Anderson but the other 2 take penalties, or at least have taken a penalty this season. If Ramirez took our penalties and had a 50% success rate he'd have been top scorer in the league by at least a couple of goals

And everything between August and February suggests he's very effective at SPL level. Arguement for form works both ways.

[frankie_mac's_4]

Again, I'm nae questioning what he's capable of on a fitba pitch. I have reservations about him throwing wobblers when its not going his way

*argument

[Footballs coming Rome]

The guy was offered an extended holiday from his employer as he had been working constantly for over a year. He took it and now he is being questioned about his integrity? We should question the club for offering this holiday rather than the person who took the holiday. 

This is the downside of casting our net wide to find new players as per the new transfer policy. Ronny Hernandez was homesick and didn't get to see his family due to covid and the Ramirez family also did not settle.

The club never offered him a holiday in February but he took one anyway. Get him to fuck

If it upsets the likes of yourself and DelMonte so much that he's back then lets hope his stay is a long one ?

Fair enough, I read the first point I quoted as you questioning his ability.

[DelMonte]

@Parklife

Do you not think it was poor that he fucked off early? Wasn’t a good look from him or the manager surely? You’re allowed to say one thing negative about Ramirez.
