Raya Period
The Raya & Sanchez transfers make zero sense to me.
People forget that Arteta was in for Raya way before signing Ramsdale.
Arsenal need a striker
Raya Is definitely starting- he is a better ball playing keeper which arteta wants. Love ramsdale but I think raya starts- maybe it’ll give ramsdale a good bit of motivation
Raya starts regardless of who is better. Is that not why Arteta is bringing him in.
Raya will start but get hammered by man city 3-0, or lose through penalty shootup. Another flop in the making with saka, rice, timber already flops
Nobody cares about Arsenal or who is in post, they won't win anything anyway
Shout out to Shaka. Glad to see you're much better
Shoulda kept Martinez and Leno. Ramsdale ain’t that good and he got better defenders.
Arteta splashing the cash. Could've give Wenger all that money, I'm sure it wouldn't have took him longer than Emery/Arteta.
Brighton reached full agreement with Ajax for Mohammed Kudus..
Arsenal close to sign him for weeks..all to no avail
The Seagulls will pay €40million (£34.5million). Front three of Mitoma- Ferguson-Kudus is top class for brighton..
I really don't understand what is so hard to understand about this transfer. Turner wants to be a no1, he obviously can't get that at Arsenal. He will leave and be a no1 somewhere else. Now Arsenal needs a good backup. Who else but an established premier league keeper that had higher aims than Brentford and is enticed by champions league football and a challenge for the premiership.
Raya was better than Ramsdale in every way possible last year and he was in an inferior team.
What is Arsenel's Strategy?
Seems a waste of money to pay so much for a 1 Nd choice keeper. Arsenal have spent so much no way if they don't win anything major questions will be asked .
I've a feeling Dave 'the rave' Raya won't be No2 for long.
Ramsdale will never win a major trophy for England or Arsenal.
In a funny sort of way, I like that Arteta seem ruthlessly cold blooded about his players. If you are not up to standard, you will be replaced. It's not that you are bad, but you need to be of the top top standard to be a winner. I used to tear my hair out sometime at how Wenger used to be too loyal to his players. Some like Ozil etc needed to be go, but he kept sticking with him, season in season out. So, I say go for Raya.
Kaye is on the bench and has better feet Dan
But Brazil has two number ones .How has it been a problem? So even if there's someone who can put competition on Saka they must not be brought coz someone doesn't Saka to be on the bench.Big team big mentality
Dan's comment about not wanting to see the competition staring at him – that explains his constant ribbing of Seb during their LA stop and Sebby was at the table all week.
i think we should have depth in all positions. being a number two in a team that will be in 4 competitions isnt a bad thing
I saw a headline, Arteta is changing football.
What if he considers both as 1st team players?
What if he employs a strategy of a game of two halves, especially now with increased subs?
There can be plan A & B instead of 1st and second choice.
Arsenal squad deep like Mariana Trench
Plenty of examples as to why 2 first choice GK's doesn't work. Heck even at Arsensl under this Manager you saw it, 20m plus for a backup is insanity!
All these GK's and the best one Martinez got away under this fraud Paella Pep
Who cares who their goaltender is
As an arsenal fan , Raya is way better than ramsdale .
I guarantee that every Arsenal fan today will be praying that if the game goes to penalties "Englands No 1" Aaron Ramsdale isn't in goal and "The best player on the planet" Bukayo Saka doesn't take one
Will start the one who performs better
GREAT TO SEE BIG SHAK WELL AND IN FINE FORM HE HAD US ALL WORRIED NICE ONE FROM DAVID FOREST SUPPORTER ⚽🥅🏐❤️🤕
Ramsdalle ranks below 8 in every Stat while Raya tops most of the Stats be it saving, forward passes, pass accuracy, and remember he plays for Brentford.
Ramsdale has been poor do less interviews and perform on the pitch
Ramsdale is poor. He’s best attribute is talking 💩. Englands number 4. Raya is another level
For now I can say that it's Ramsdale because the Arsenal player. Can't talk about Raya he ain't signed for Arsenal yet.
People overrated tf out of ramsdale last season, but he’s gotta be their starter to begin the season
Arsenal GK coach already coached Raya, and Arteta always liked him. And Raya could be n.1 in other clubs. There is no way that he’s coming to be on the bench, he’ll be n.1. We’ll see the same movie we saw when Leno was forced on the bench when Ramsdale arrived
Raya is better
Arteta spending crazy without winning anything important but media praising him like he is worlds best manager 😂
Weren’t these clowns forcing United to start Henderson over DDG couple years ago? Haha England keeper is going to be on bench in a year time
The whole gk competition idea is a ruse to keep the second choice player engaged and at the club. Arteta clearly has a preference. They wanted Raya before they signed Ramsdale
These guys are bored. What a question.
Raya is the one
We hate arsenal we like other football team in the world but hate arsenal
