There has been no animosity between Ramsdale and Raya. Arteta and Cana are happy with both players as options, who they view as excellent, and the level of training has surged as the ‘keepers push each other to perform better’.
Ramsdale is incredibly popular at Arsenal and has received expressions of support from senior players.
Is anyone else just so over this.
I honestly can’t believe people care so much about this lol. They’re both mature adults and professionals who understand what the deal is, it really is not that deep
It’s because a Spanish manager and his Spanish GK coach are putting the soon to be number 1 English NT goalkeeper on the bench when he should have been on the verge (according to some) to take Pickford’s place… you won’t find similar discourse if you watch the PL from other countries (like France for example where they have the ex french GK coach of Chelsea as a pundit and he claims there’s no context as to Raya being clear number 1 in his opinion).
It’s because one of them is English and extremely likable. Reminds me a bit of when Pep dropped Joe Hart.
Even then - there wasn’t as much scrutiny over that decision than this… At least from what I can remember.
Maybe because everyone knew that Pep wanted a ball playing keeper and Hart wasn’t for him while our scenario is a bit “controversial” I guess?
Yea, bored talking about it. Non issue.
We have a lot of absolute dickhead fans that dream of being twitter ITKs and will drag this out for a long time.
I think it is going to be an issue but it’s fair to be bored of it
tbf this sounds more like PR from the club. Hope it’s true though
