ahead on alphabet Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 £1.1m + maybe another £0.5m? £1.6m (if we even get that) for him is no way near enough compensation in my opinion. Link to comment

And is now set on a move there. If it's true, he must have had Lecce's express permission to do so otherwise he'd be in breach of his current Lecce contract and subject to internal discipline. However even if he did have Lecce's permission, it's still pretty poor form from Ramadani to then to then go almost bragging about it to a journalist and admit he wants to move. Nevertheless, I do hope it comes off. With so long left on his contract, Lecce can ask really whatever they like as a transfer fee and Inter will have to put up or shut up. I don't think it would be unreasonable for them to ask £5m which would net us a wee £400k bonus. 10% of the fee, not profit Link to comment

Whoever negotiated that (especially with fact we didn’t replace him) needs binned That’s a fairly standard sell on %. What were you expecting? The fee of €1m euros however was clearly far too low. Dave got too excited too quickly at the thought of flipping a player for some money. Should never have been sold a) for that price and b) without a suitable replacement lined up. And before someone else says it McGrath was not a replacement for Ramadani 1 Link to comment

We sold ourselves massively short. £1m isn't good value and the 10% sell on will bring us buttons. Link to comment

JamieMT Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Ramadani wasn't average. He was incredibly consistent for us and did the sort of work that's perhaps only noticed from a player after they've left. We've felt his absence. 1 Link to comment

The Gee Man Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 This is very much like the Ferguson thread! There is always speculation in Italian league about cherry picking off lower clubs that never happen. Only point in chatting about ifs and buts if he actually moves! It’s Fraser all over again Link to comment

Agree - if we had kept Ramadani we would have been stronger and it would have translated into better results. He is a good player and quite Shinnie like in his application. Like so many good players who get roasted at AFC by people who know next to nothing about what a good player looks like he deserves his success. I thought we could have got twice the fee at least for him so that was a bit disappointing. Any additional income if he goes to Inter would be most welcome. Link to comment

If we'd had him in the middle of the park for this European season, don't you reckon there's a good chance we'd be financially better off on points gained in the 4 games played already?

Proud Dandy Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I was pissed off we flogged him for so little without a replacement but if he’s whoring himself like this to Inter after 5 mins being at Lecce, he sounds like someone that might have downed tools if we refused his move, we may have had little choice but to sell an unhappy player after all. 2 Link to comment

Barron is playing better than him, shinnie is still better than him and McGrath is playing a lot better than he ever did and that’s not counting polvara and clarckson so don’t see where he would fit in I’ll believe him in the inter Milan’s midfield when I actually see it even then I’ll think I’m high. 1 Link to comment
Reed or deed Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 One of the most bizarre stories i’ve ever seen in football. From being mostly unable to complete a basic pass or have a half decent shot on goal to Inter Milan Link to comment
