Liverpool FC complete deal to sign Calvin Ramsay - Liverpool FC

Liverpool FC have completed the signing of Scotland U21 international Calvin Ramsay from Aberdeen, subject to international clearance.

Superb start to the week to continue Julian Wards excellent start in the most important role at the football club. Michael Edwards has taught his young prodigy superbly. He more or less run the Diaz deal all by himself with his Portuguese knowledge and contacts. Boxed a super fee for Carvalho. And has now got the structure we wanted for both Nunez and Ramsey. When their respective clubs we’re looking for different/ more. Oh, and he made a slight profit on what we paid for Sadio after 6 outstanding years service and most every major trophy won. Far from some angst at the fee, there’s a LOT to be said of doing the right thing by loyal servants like Sadio who have done nothing but the right thing by you. So to get slightly more than what we paid, with the added context of him being able to go for free next summer, was pretty much more than you could realistically hope for.

Superb all around start for our new Sporting Director. As you'd expect as its the ‘system’ that underpins EVERYTHING. But I digress …..

I know little about Ramsey save for the glowing reports on him what I’ve read from some very well respected Scottish football icons/ coaches. And that, allied to the highlights you’ve seen, totally plays into him being an outstanding attacking full in the mould of Trent with a lot of development growth to go. The perfect skill-set for what we require out of our FB’s.

But I do know if they are prepared to invest all that, when Connor Bradley made massive leaps last year both at club and International level to be one of our beat academy players last season, then they must proper rate Ramsey as an even better prospect. Which is really exciting in itself as Bradley looks a tremendous talent.

If this is us done with incomings, safe in the knowledge they have Bellingham next summer (who I rate as the closest thing out there to be the next Gerrard. Honestly. His ceiling and all around game, at just 18 already, looks that good when you watch him. And we'll have that for a decade and more), then It’s been an A+ window IMHO on signings.

Luis Diaz (who, lets face it, is a signing for this window), and Darwin set the next evolution of Klopps attack. The super exciting Carvalho just adds to that. Or the attacking midfield slots with his position versatility. And now a back-up for Trent in one of the hottest young Scottish talents out there.

Roll on City and the CS!

Messing aside, that looks a great addition to the academy on the face of it. Mad red with 461 appearances across all 4 divisions, and Europe. who's sill young enough to both play if needed for the 21's t add invaluable, on-field experience. And be able to relate with the 18's who he'll be coaching full-time.

Utd did something similar with the lad from Hull who's name escapes me last year so this could be a new trend with the 5 + 1 over age player rule in the new U21 PL2 format. (Which is complete overkill to me and defeating the object of dropping the age level. Hopefully, clubs won't abuse it and will lower the age as it's intended for a proper, competitive, youth development league.).

Shows his love for the club when he could still be playing week in, week out in the Football League like he was captaining Tranmere the past 2 seasons.

Be great to welcome him back into the fold a week on Friday after 9 years away.

Stone cold clinical. And nowhere near his ceiling.

For me it’s a signing that could go either way. There’s no guarantee he hits anywhere near those numbers in the Prem. And could of been just a one season wonder. Will definitely be interested to see how he changes his game to suit Klopp style and deals with the Prem.

Why are we competing in this absolute disgrace of an organisations tournaments?

I'm hesitant to knock the club who have been absolutely superb in response to the horribly traumatic events in Paris. But if Liverpool really cared and wanted to properly go to bat for us, they'd pull out of the CL until UEFA and the French stopped the damaging lies, absolved us of ALL blame, and held those accountable to account. With punishment therein.

I know I'm P against the wind here, but just say NO! to any and all UEFA competition until the above is met and they can guarantee our safety under their watch!

UEFA just aren't fit for purpose in any way, shape or form.

For what it's worth, here's to the SOS and Madrid fan reps telling the TRUTH later today.

Give 'em it straight Joe! Despicable *****!

Excellent. Really solid looking first pro-loan for Conor that's perfect at this stage of his development on the face of it.

Love the fact it's just down the road in Bolton. Which not only keeps up our good relationship with Wanderers, and the excellent set-up there. But makes things much easier location wise for both player and club to keep eyes on him.

One of our top academy performers last year who deservedly got nominated for the PL2 POTY award, he made great strides both within our first-team set-up and Internationally. Hopefully this next step on his development path into a full-time season in the men's game kicks him on another level,

Genuine, top International prospect this lad. Bolton are lucky to have him over next season.

*Edit* As a related aside, as he's eligible, I wonder if Ramsey will turn out for the 21's at times as he develops to keep him match sharp in the long spells he won't see any first-team action?
