Scotland’s Calvin Ramsay who joined Liverpool during the summer of 2022 has gone to Bolton Wanderers on loan. The Merseyside Reds’ manager Jürgen Klopp said something about the move in relation to that of Conor Bradley who returned from the same club.

The two right-backs have not been part of Klopp’s plan for his squad for several reasons, but are being desired by several clubs.

Following Bradley’s glorious return from Bolton Wanderers where he impressed fans of Liverpool, Klopp was asked ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League match with Chelsea whether Calvin Ramsay should hope to enjoy his time away at Bolton before returning to Liverpool in the future.

‘Yeah, of course, but we cannot compare, a loan spell for one worked out [but] for the other one not.

‘So now, for example, yesterday I had Owen Beck in my office and I’m so happy [Beck rejoined Dundee on loan on Tuesday]… Owen as well, like Calvin, had previously a difficult loan spell.

‘He didn’t play in Portugal, came back here and was at Bolton as well [as Bradley] and didn’t play there either, so we were all like, ‘How can that happen?’ because we really think highly of him.

‘So, he goes to Scotland, is playing there and it gave him a massive boost. He arrived here and looked like a man, really, left-back, really ready to go.

‘And now, the other boys are coming back we have the opportunity to give him that time [on loan] again, it makes sense.

‘Calvin, the problem is that Calvin was too often injured. It’s a horrible run of bad luck, I would say, started when he arrived here [and] had this back problem, out for half a year, came back, knee problem, gone on loan, another problem.

‘So, that has to stop at one point and then everybody can see how good Calvin can be but now he needs consistent training, for the body, and then of course playing time as well.

‘So, I had to get used to that over the years, to these loan things, and they didn’t work out always but in a lot of moments it worked out really well and especially Conor, you’re right, is a really good example that it helped massively – even when we knew before he went on loan that Conor would end up in our first team.’

Conor Bradley will hope to stay in the good book as he continues his stay at The Merseyside Reds.
