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.
Until the transfer window. Then we will get the “insider reports” that the player with less appearances is “growing frustrated” with the situation. That goes on till the summer all through the window then rinse and repeat every window. Look at Smith-Rowe for an example
Unless Raya has a noticeable dip in form then he’s our number 1. Arteta and the goalkeeping coach wanted him before Ramsdale so that’s how I see it going and so far it certainly looks that way with Raya also playing CL games. I don’t think there’s much between them at all but this should push the other for however long it lasts.
This should be the same non-story it would be for any outfield players competing for playing time.
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.
tbf this sounds more like PR from the club. Hope it’s true though
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

There is zero chance that Ramsdale stays.

If you see the bench cam video of city match , at the end during celebration Ben White is telling Ramsdale to chin up and encouraging him to smile.
I mean it’s pretty simple. Ramsdale will not want to be a bench keeper for too long. Can’t keep them all.
This is right. Especially if his England place is in jeopardy. He will transfer eventually.
Omg is this still a story?? Getting pretty old now
(Not on you OP you’re just posting the article)
Great track
I mean tbf, isn’t basically our entire staff spanish for the most part? Is that unfair to outfield players who are english?
