Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3564348, member: 9651"] Its interesting because Raya isn't a significant improvement but I think it's enough to warrant the purchase. Remains to be seen if Raya can become world class but I think undoubtedly he's a better keeper for the here and now. He's far more consistent and less error prone, at least from what I have seen so far. Their chances of winning the league this season are higher with Raya in goal, that's just the reality. How long Ramsdale is happy to sit around as #2 will be worth tracking. He strikes me as the sort of player who has a very high opinion of himself and I don't think Arteta will stand for any sort of disharmony in the squad. That's the reason I think he'll give Ramsdale the UCL games, a reward of sorts for how he played last season but also to keep him quiet. With the Euros around the corner I can see the UK press turning it into a fascinating and potentially disruptive predicament... no doubt they'll run with some tribalistic version of 'England #1 being overlooked for Spain's back up GK because the coach isn't English'.
