Heard of Gretna?

It. Is. Not. A. Fucking. Transfer. Fee.

The only club that must pay a development fee is the first club that the player signs a professional contract with.

PROTEST - the articles trying to emply ramsey was signed from sydney fc

Sydney Olympic product simple as that

and that you FFA for passing rules wereby he was transfered for free only under frank lowy

not really, as you say perth took him from an a-league benchy to an a-league star so perth deseves the credit, judge the players when the transaction was done not the finished product

Putting aside any agenda PAOKTZI may have, it's ridiculous that A-League clubs need only pay $3,000 compensation to clubs that are developing our future national players.

Take Rukavytsya as an example, he was only a bench player when he started at Perth Glory, eventually tore up the A-League and then went to Twente for a fee of around $1mil. Would figure his state league club would deserve a bit more than $3,000.

Anywho...

:lol:

Exactly.

so did SOFC pay Iains junior club?

how did Iain get hes opportunity at SOFC?

Oh wait!!!!

you must have a huge football knowledge lol

Okay Pimpsta, and how did Ramsey get his opportunity at Sydney FC?

Oh wait!?!

FFS IT IS NOT A TRANSFER FEE!

Sorry but I find it extremely annoying hearing about this supposed transfer fee.

the 3k transfer fee is in place so clubs get a bit of money from players being brought into a-league,how many players have we seen migrate to a-league from state leagues and be rubbish, not even worth the 3k but the clubs still get it

iain ramsey was at sydney fc youth team and he wasnt no were near worth 3k when sydney fc singed him up, hes only at this level now BECAUSE of sydney fc and the coaching that is in place and fulltime training, get over it SOFC deseve nothing.

Why should you? Was AUFC the first club to give Iain a professional contract?

Thank the FFA for not giving us a cent on this, then they wonder why the clubs are working against the governing body, maybe because the governing body is working against the clubs

Good to see two ex-Olympic boys downing Sydney FC ;)

I'm not sure there is a player called Ian Ramsey at any A-League club, I'm not sure what you're on about.

Iain Ramsey is at AUFC - didn't he come through their youth system? ;)

If you don't know how to find the information yourself it is in the document: http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/site/_content/document/00000360-source.pdf on page 32 and is point 10.3 Amount of Training Compensation.

Iain Ramsay - AUFC

By the way, the 3k is not a transfer fee, stop calling it a transfer fee. It never was and never is going to be a transfer fee. Go have a read of the FFA material in relation to it, it is a development fee that has been mandated by the FFA in line with FIFA requirments. Learn to read, and comprehend, then you will stop posting such uninformed and factual erroneous information PAOKTZI.

p.s. the thread title should be "Iain Ramsey - AUFC"

Transfers restrict movement of players.

If there were significant transfer fees for professional clubs to pay for players playing in amateur or semi professional leagues, less players would be transferred.

If it is detrimental to the development of professional football in Australia, it would not be a FIFA sanctioned rule.

As for the point of state league clubs - they are not, and should not be, run as businesses. They are open for anyone who wants to be a part of them and to provide an outlet for non-professional players to play competitive, organised, and quality football. Simple as that.

Thrad is void cause you spelled Iain wrong

please stop falling for that bullshit

that been proven bullshit time and time again

I have a simple term to introduce you to.

Free Agent

If a club in FFA control, such as Adelaide, had to pay a transfer fee for a fringe player like Ramsey, it would be highly likely that they would just sign an off-contract player from somewhere else.

if all a-league clubs had to pay for there players then yes, simple as that

I can see the flaws of the cap.

On Ramsey though, would Adelaide have still added him to their squad if they had to pay for him?

the cap is one part of the problem

dont forget if the player has had a pro contract before you cannot onsell them even for the cap, what a joke

its even worse when a rule has been put in place that the 3k is only for the first professional contract

so yes ramsey was under contract and because he did have a prof contract in scotland 4 years ago we lose him for free

this is what you call theft, the professionalism of the ffa

It's shocking we can only get 3g max...

Was he under full-time contract to Olympic?
If so how much was the monetary value remaining on his contract?

If not, it's just like losing a free-agent. Move on with life.
