Raya hasn’t received that much love from the fans because he displaced fan favorite Ramsdale despite being better on nearly every metric. Even if you don’t compare them, Raya still deserves love from the fans for his great performances
As much as I love Ramsdale people would be blind if they say Raya isn’t a clear upgrade with the style we want to play. More than just his goal keeping his long balls gives us new attaching strategy rather than playing short all the time.
But like… why’d we sell Emi Martinez if we were going to shell out 50 million on keepers over the next 3 years?
Because Leno was our #1 before he got injured, and Emi was told he would have to compete for the #1 when Leno came back. Emi thought he should be guarenteed #1 and didn’t want to have to compete
Which basically just meant that he wasn’t going to be playing at all. We have seen that there is no such thing is competing for your spot as a GK in this club the past few years
Because he’s batshit insane and not in the good way.
Raya was always Arteta’s pick for the system he wants to play. People forget we tried to buy him before we went for Ramsdale.
Fate gave Arteta another chance to get him this window and we went for it but if we were sucessful the first time round, we would have never bought Ramsdale.
