Jim Goodwin is non-committal about the futures of Aberdeen outcasts Christian Ramirez and David Bates and suggested both could still be away before the window closes.
The Aberdeen manager spoke out after his side’s 4-1 win over Annan Athletic that needed extra-time in the Premier Sports Cup. Striker Ramirez and defender Bates didn’t so much as get a place on the bench at Galabank on Tuesday night – despite it being against part-timers.
Rumours have been swirling around the Granite City about Ramirez’s future since Goodwin replaced Stephen Glass last season and after the signing of Bojan Miovski, which saw the American stripped of the No.9. As for Bates, he was set for a move to Legia Warsaw until the transfer broke down at the last minute in July. Now Goodwin has hinted heavily the two could get their moves away from the Dons, with the window closing at midnight on Thursday.
