Jim Goodwin gives Aberdeen transfer update on Bojan Miovski fee, Calvin Ramsay cash and Tobias Lauritsen

Jim Goodwin insists Aberdeen didn’t need to dip into their Calvin Ramsay profits to land Bojan Miovski. The Dons boss has continued his busy summer rebuild with the capture of the MTK Budapest striker for an undisclosed fee.

It comes after Pittodrie chief Dave Cormack sanctioned the £100,000 purchase of Miovski’s former MTK team-mate Ylber Ramadani earlier this month. The Reds have also shelled out cash to land Nottingham Forrest full-back Jayden Richardson as a replacement for new Anfield starlet Ramsey, while Liam Scales and Anthony Stewart will be welcomed aboard when the Dons jet out to their Spanish training camp on Monday

But Goodwin insists the ambitious Granite City outfit would have pushed the boat out for their new recruits regardless of their £8million Ramsey windfall from Liverpool as he hailed Cormack’s financial backing. “The Ramsay money certainly helps but it wasn’t the be all and end all,” stressed the Irishman. “We’d still be making these deals had Calvin Ramsay stayed.

“That’s a great position for the club to be in financially. Of course, the deal for Calvin was an incredible bit of business for everybody.

“The boy has earned the right to go to one of the biggest clubs in the world. There won’t be many clubs out there worldwide selling 18 year olds for the type of money we have done.

“That money is important because that stabilise everything for the next couple of years. It goes a long way to improving facilities and everything else, but the playing budget is the most important thing.

“In fairness to the chairman and board, they don’t take a lot out of the club. Everything does get reinvested - that’s why we’re able to sign players under contract like Ramadani, Richardson and Miovski.”
