Topic: Calvin Ramsay joins LFC - Slainte Mhath

[Aldo1988]

Conor Bradley says hello.

He can be Calvin's backup when Trent moves into midfield

[TtotheVizzo]

Was a bit surprised by how tall he was, having generally only seen him in photos training on his own I thought he was on the shorter side but he looked fairly tall even stood next to VVD and Konate at corners.

[redbyrdz]

He is tall and thats the main thing. Just sign the tall, powerful players.

Slightly off topic, but I did notice that about Napoli - lots of tall, strong lads. Remember Firmino getting bounced off the ball. They still fell over like dominos for some reason.

[afc tukrish]

Yeah - it just felt right didn't it? Big lad too!

Do you feel about Ramsay in a manner similar to how you felt about Robertson?

That's all we want to know, Roy... 

[Smudge]

A right back that actually dealt with a cross at the back post. Couldn't believe my eyes.

["Bobber" Thanks :)]

Thought that myself at time. Unusual and refreshing!

[has gone odd]

Obviously too early to say if he will be a huge signing, though based off last night's cameo, he was utterly solid. Looked confident and focused, great 1st appearance.

Welcome back Smudge, we've missed your straight talking. But for me....you're not being harsh enough there. Go big.

[SamLad]

Have we stretching him out on a rack or has he had some late growth spurt? Looks bigger than 5'9

why do you think the physios haven't let him out in public for so long?

[macmanamanaman]

Maybe right back is not the slot for him then.
I say, move him into midfield...

[stockdam]

Too early to make any judgements. He needs to bulk up a bit but that will come shortly. Hopefully he will fit in well.

[naYoRHa2b]

I like his Jaw, is that weird?

Just one of them jaws you don't fuck with.

[didi shamone]

We're gonna need a bigger boat.

[Black Bull Nova]

I know this resurrects the Arnold to midfield discussion but if this lad turns out to be as promising as he appears to be then that right had side has the potential to be lethal, Ramsay, Arnold, Salah and Elliot (albeit Elliot is looking good moving slightly inside).


He actually looks like another player who can provide a threat, let's put them both in and they can share the work and keep the other team guessing, other teams do it with great effect.

[thaddeus]

I'm just glad to see him playing.  With the five subs rule he should, if nothing else, be able to give Trent some respite.

[paisley1977]

Noticed the BT commentator said when he came on that he had cost £6m not £4.2m them and Sky always seem to make out we pay more than we do.

[redwillow]

Hopefully gets a start next week against Derby. Looking forward to that game more than the two league games we have left.

[SamLad]

Hopefully gets a start next week against Derby.

I'll be totally amazed if he doesn't.  no way will Trent or Millie get near the pitch.

[Samie]

His second touch on his debut is a Cruyff Turn. 

[KurtVerbose]

Was a bit surprised by how tall he was, having generally only seen him in photos training on his own I thought he was on the shorter side but he looked fairly tall even stood next to VVD and Konate at corners.

He's tall enough to be a Man Utd centre back.

[Fromola]

Obviously too early to say if he will be a huge signing, though based off last night's cameo, he was utterly solid. Looked confident and focused, great 1st appearance.

Hopefully he can do a Robbo but he'll need longer to settle in, Robbo had already bossed it in the PL with Hull, it's a huge jump from the level at Aberdeen and he's younger.

You do get a good feeling with us and Scottish players. Robbo signed at a time when Scotland had been a graveyard for talent for a long time. Since then it's got better and Doak is already ripping up the youth teams.

We've got two really good future prospects in Ramsey and Bradley but do need another RB option now. Ramsey now he's fit will have the chance to do a lot work with the coaches during the break. He's missed a few months really.

[Samie]

Has been called up by Scotland today for the first time.

Ramsay’s pre season starts now.

[royhendo]

Has been called up by Scotland Today for the first time.

He's presenting the STV News?

[Crosby Nick]

He's presenting the STV News?

More of a face for radio I’d have said.

[Wabaloolah]

Looks the stand out player for me

[Samie]

He looks good and he's genuinely two footed which will help him and us.

[Ghost Town]

Good to see him put the attacking balls in. Seems lively and strong

[ljycb]

He will do for me. I like him a lot.

[farawayred]

Him and Kostas are capable deputies for Trent and Robbo. Both backups are different players with arguably more emphasis on defense, but do the attacking roles quite well. We've been needing that for many years...

[newterp]

Compared to Robbo and Trent - he looks like he has more dribbling skills to escape defenders when on the attack.

He also did a very nice job - albeit Derby - in defense yesterday. Several track back and shielding of the ball or winning it. 

[KillieRed]

Injured today? Obviously not being rested up for the World Cup.

[Samie]

Has come on for his Scotland debut tonight.   

[Passmaster Molby]

Well done Calvin, step by step he continues to build his career in football. I truly believe he will be an absolute star of a player and hope he will be with us for years to come.

Sometimes you see a player and you just know he's got it. Calvin looks a top prospect, not only his ability but his temprement: confident, mature and determined. Of course not every impressive young player makes it, but I think he has every chance.

I think we should move him into midfield

If we ever regain our pressing mojo that's where he will spend a lot of his time!

I agree - it was the same for me the first time I saw Gerrard, Rooney, Owen - you just have a sense he has got something a bit special and knows what he is doing on a football pitch.

Reminds me a bit of the first games Robbo played for us.

[tubby]

Any news on where he's disappeared to?
