Quite surprised by that. Quite a coup for City. Unlucky Septic 

 

Mark hughes is Fulham's new manager. Think that is a more than decent appointment. Hopefully he can build on Roy's success and ensure they retain a few of their key players from last season.

Looks your stereotypical battering ram Stephen Robinson type centre forward 😉

Rumour doing the rounds that Dundee getting Calvin Ramsey on loan from Liverpool. 

Kye Rowles allegedly leaving Hearts for MLS with fee rumoured to be in region of £600k.

A four year deal for him is pretty wild 😂

No clue if he’s any good but we paid decent money for Richardson, Morris, and I believe Ambrose, and currently have 33yr old sivert on a 3 year deal. To each their own!!

He used to be good. No idea if that's still the case.

Funny if true, but think that one has potentially been rubbished although allegedly he does have other offers to return to the UK.

Thinks not going well for him in Italy with his club second bottom of the third level of Italian football.

Doesn't his missus play for Aberdeen Women?

Calvin Ramsay to Kilmarnock 😲

Not sure that plastic surface will do his injuries much good 🤔

Exactly what a few said in pub pregame about him going there.

There's no evidence that plastic pitches are worse for injury than grass. Would be fitting if McInnes resurrected his career and bagged us a few million sell on.

There are studies in the U.S. that now suggest that artificial surfaces can lead to more non contact knee and ankle injuries. There are also a couple that suggest injury recovery time is longer on artificial surfaces as well.

I'll stand corrected if I am wrong but I don't think Ramsay played under McInnes at Aberdeen.

Think he might have made his first top team appearance after McInnes was punted 🤔

Pretty sure McInnes gave him his debut in Scottish Cup against Dumbarton just before he was sacked.

That's the wrong type of fitba. Non-yank studies show opposite results:

Proper fitba

Although I think there's no significant differences either way. Badly maintained AG pitches are likely worse, but then a heavy grass pitch would likely be terrible on the hamstrings too.

The old grey matter isn't completely fucked yet.

Ramsay didn't play under McInnes for Aberdeen

He made his debut as a sub in March 2021 when he came on a substitute. Hegarty was caretaker manager.

He subsequently got his first start on the cup away to Dumbarton under the management of Stephen Glass.

Oops, showing my age it was of course another Paul (Sheerin)

Aye, only around quarter of a century out with the caretaker manager. Not too bad.
