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.
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?
