Barry Robson reacts to Ylber Ramadani Aberdeen FC shirt gesture as boss levies friendly win with transfer hint

Aberdeen boss Barry Robson hopes key midfielder Ylber Ramadani wasn't saying his goodbyes to the club after he threw his kit into the Dons support after their pre-season win in London.

Aberdeen eased to a three-goal lead at The Valley before the hosts pulled a couple of goals back which flattered Charlton. Albanian international Ramadani was an important player for Aberdeen last season, but there have been persistent reports of interest from Serie A side Lecce. They have yet to make their move, but Ramadani - who was an unused sub yesterday - appeared to be saying his cheerio to the club when he threw most of his strip into the 1,600-strong away support.

But Robson hopes that's not the case. He said: "There is always a lot of speculation around a lot of our players Until anything happens – and nothing is happening right now – you can say that about a lot of players.

"I was just glad the fans were watching a team today that was fast and aggressive and really wanted to run for their club. I will let you know when anything is happening with Ramadani. All right? He’s a flying machine and we just rested him up again today. He will be good to go against Livingston next week."

But the Pittodrie boss was pleased with his side's performance, with goals from Graeme Shinnie, Bojan Miovski and an own goal, with Miovski also missing a penalty. Aberdeen are expected to complete the signing of Serbian defender Slobodan Rubezic this week too.

Robson said: "We were up against a good side who have some top players and a big budget. It was everything we were looking for really. You see the way we want to play. We’ve worked hard and we look sharp and at it.

"We still have a few players to come in and give us a hand too. It’s quite evident
