Can't find a thread for Him, feel like he's the perfect replacement for De Gea and fits what Ten Hag wants from a keeper.
Agree. Next summer he will have one year left of his contract. Sign him.Can't find a thread for Him, feel like he's the perfect replacement for De Gea and fits what Ten Hag wants from a keeper.
I agree with all. Initially I prefered Sanchez due to his size, but been more impressed with Raya. Admittedly, I have not seen enough of them to be really confident about who is the best goalkeeper out of the two of them.Good keeper, sweeps well, is excellent on the ball and has already been living in England for a while. Is ahead of De Gea in the national team for good reason. And his contract situation means he might be available at a relatively reasonable price.
However, he is relatively small for a goalkeeper at 6ft tall. And in general I find it difficult to say he's better overall than someone like Brighton's Sanchez for example, who is also ahead of De Gea for Spain and is slightly younger, let alone other potential options across Europe.
The contract situation might increase how attractive he is but really replacing a goalkeeper who will have been at the club for 12 years is a big enough issue that we should be targeting the best player available, even if their contract situation is less favourable and we have to pay more.
He dropped a clanger and Rice bailed him outI’d rather my goalie make mistakes while being brave in distribution than drop clangers.
Ramsdale is fecking average.His head has gone.
Bizarre (needless?) signing, and with the also average Ramsdale staring at him from the bench, it gives Sky every excuse to side with the benched English player.
Brave? He’s looking anything but! He can kick a decent ball long but he’s not composed on the ball nor a good short passer. He looks nervous having to play short so often, and he’s making others nervous too. He’s making it hard for the others to play brave football because he’s untrustworthy.I’d rather my goalie make mistakes while being brave in distribution than drop clangers.
At least he provided competition to Ramsdale and it will force him to up his game to win his place back.He hasn't shown anything special since he came here. He's looks overawed by the occasion in this match.
Ramsdale's distribution is miles ahead.
It's obviously not.Ramsdale's distribution is miles ahead.
Agree, this is clearly how Arteta wants us to play and is inherently risky - Raya is almost a CB at times and wants to draw the press to him to open up space elsewhere. It's just that City's press is the best really and that's why it didn't work that well today.It's obviously not.
Think he had a poor game today and City targeted him well to make it worse. I also think it's not entirely down to him. Part of his role is to draw the extra man to open up the space to build an overload but it didn't work 5/10 times today. He's not getting dropped anytime soon though.
A touch of the Onana's there...Really not justifying why he should be number 1
I don't know about that, I've watched the last two Arsenal games on sky sports and Gary Neville is basically calling him crap and dodgy every 20 seconds.This guy has been making mistakes every game yet not much attention to this because he plays for arsenal and not united.
You don't do that if you want to win the league. There's little room for error against City. He's been getting away with a number of mistakes against Tottenham, Lens, City and Chelsea. The other games played, he's had little to do, so thereThird game in a row he’s been a nervous mess. Don’t know though. Do you think stick with him, allow him to play through his struggles or do you drop him before his mistakes end up costing too many games.

His supposed best quality (long range distribution) hasn't been there either.
You're an Arsenal fan?We are not winning the PL
My thoughts as wellYou're an Arsenal fan?
Read that wrong, thought I was in the Onana threadYou're an Arsenal fan?
