Kiriakov33 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 One final attempt to smoke out some serious bids from down south imo. My guess is that he will still be with us until the end of the season. Link to comment

His defensive frailties are there for all to see. But that’s not to say we should accept it, it’s clear the price is going up to £6m over the weekend. Either way, I don’t think we’ll see him tomorrow, his head is mince. Link to comment
brownie Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Small time mentality if we accept that Bologna fee. 1 Link to comment

King Street Loon Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 35 minutes ago, sooth_stander said: Bologna have upped their bid for Ramsay to £4.8m Cormack must be getting close to folding, at figures like that, especially if that’s up front with add ons to come. You’d have to think Ramsay and his agent are agreeable to heading to Italy, otherwise why are they coming back with an improved offer? It won't be up front. Will be in installments. Link to comment

If we are getting a 10-20% sell on too its probably better he goes to Bologna, plays and is then sold on. Link to comment

Bologna would be a good move in terms of sell on but Hickey is being talked about for 10-15m so its not going to be mega money like English leagues if hes sold but still a nice amount. Id hope at least 1 English club makes a bid too. Link to comment
sooth_stander Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Thing is, we'll probably never know the true transfer fee, and Cormack will probably inflate the figure when he is pressed on it, so we can speculate all we want about whther The Price is Right. The most important factor is how much of it will the recruitment team get to spend. Link to comment

There's virtually no way of confirming the exact fee these days what with undisclosed fees and the methods of payment and accounting. Papers speak absolute shite about transfer fees and wages, surprised anyone believes it. Sadly club officials speak shite about it as well. The McKenna fee has been quoted as anything from 2 to 3 million and no one has any real grasp of what sell ons there are if any. It all just becomes part of urban myth. Link to comment

Yeah, and then you read if Brenda takes him to Leicester, then the eventual fee we receive will be close to what Villa WOULD have paid for him the previous season, £6m Its all shite at the end of the day, accountancy jiggerypokery. Then there's Sevco and how they report their transfer fees..... Link to comment
RED_JOHN Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I reckon we will do a deal with someone to take Ramsay from us this window. We are desperate for new faces in the door so we must sell. Link to comment

Then there's Sevco and how they report their transfer fees..... Aye look at the way the Patterson transfer was reported. Wild variations ranging from £8m to £16m depending on what the motivation of the reporting party was. Nobody had a fucking clue apart from the two clubs involved . Everyone else just made it up.

brownie Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 UPDATE: Bologna have now made an offer for Aberdeen right-back Calvin Ramsay. It's understood the bid is an initial loan for £830,000, with an obligation to buy for £3.3m at the end of the season. A low percentage sell-on clause has also been included. Fuck me. That's laughable. Link to comment

Certainly on outgoing transfers, he has fuck all say. Looks more to me like he is just a Head coach, and is told to work with what he is given, which, to be fair, he is making a cunt of.

So Glass says he needs an attacking midfielder, and a right winger, and gets presented with this Palvara chap of US heritage, and the Dutch cap, with South American heritage. So Glass is restricted in his options. Seems like any player we pay a fee for, comes with a purpose of selling on to the US market. But of course, everyone in the current AFC structure will have known what their place and remit is, even Scott Brown. So nobody's toes are being trodden on Link to comment
