And we replaced him with.....?

Doesn't mean he's any good though, no bidding war at all, nothing, just Inter Milan. Must be a diddy.

[ahead on alphabet]

£1.1m + maybe another £0.5m?

£1.6m (if we even get that) for him is no way near enough compensation in my opinion.

Rama has personally been in talks with Inter, and we get 10% sell on.

£1 million + a sell on and McGrath in on a free.
Think we got a great deal there

He was quoted as saying he'd spoken to Inter representatives when he was back home in Albania recently. 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

McGrath isn't his replacement though but getting him on a free has been great business.

I didn’t say he was his replacement but are we getting into this debate again 😂

10% is a pathetic sell on. 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

Had McGrath come from Lecce as part of the deal, that's a game changer, but he didn't. We sold ourselves massively short. £1m isn't good value and the 10% sell on will bring us buttons.

We sold an average player for 10 times more than we bought him for and got a better player into our squad. Great deal 

[JamieMT]

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.

20% is more the ‘standard’ nowadays

I don't think we wanted to sell him though, player wanted to go and that's that.

We rejected the first bids for McKenna and Ferguson who we didn’t want to sell but both wanted to go. We should have held out for a bigger fee

 

[The Gee Man]

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

He may have had an agreement that he could leave if a team from a bigger/better league came in for him.

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.

Agree.He possibly had a sell on fee in his contract.Imagine if we still had him in this squad instead of  say dadia Williams Pape

Ok. 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]

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.

He was average tho. He worked hard at times but was average with the ball. Can’t remember him once ever being man of the match and had more shit games than stand outs. 
 

I don’t think he would get in our midfield right now anyway

Would not make it into our midfield, but possibly make it into Inter Milans midfield if he signs for them.

Just how close to dounreay do you live.

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. 

[Reed or deed]

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

You should offer your services to, let me check my notes 

 

*Inter fucking Milan* 

 

If you think you could spot them a better player.
