He needs the connection to play at his best.

The speculation is not good for him so set him free if you want Raya

      Neither are clearly World Class imho.

      At this point we would have spent +55m on keepers from leno, emi, rammers and now raya.

      Who are the top 5 gk in the leauge?

      Exactly. I don’t get these excuses people giving him. He himself has spoken publicly about how when new players come in, their coming to take someone’s position in the team. It’s happened to him now and he’s not competing with turner every week. There’s players in this team that have dealt with situations like this and look at their response. Saliba shipped out for multiple seasons, martinelli barely got a look in the starting team for a good 8/9 months after his long injury. Both players who fans wondered if arteta even rated and had long term future under us. Gabriel was also benched for pablo Mari in his first season for a while, there was actually fans who rated pablo Mari more. Nelson barely gets a look in but has kept his head down and works hard. Nketiah had his period where he hardly played highlighted in the doc when he tells lokonga to stop feeling sorry for himself. Smith rowe has been going through similar of recent times after being a staple, be interesting to see how he ends up. I get it’s different for keepers because outfield players can get minutes off bench but no one’s place should be guaranteed if we want to compete with city. He’s a professional paid millions to do his job. Part of his job description is he may have to play second fiddle to someone else at times. If the wants to be the arsenal no.1 he’s got to show the character to come out the other side of this. I can assure you arteta ain’t looking at this and thinking “yeah this guy probably might still be my long term no.1”. You get your opportunity and you are a nervous wreck to the point arteta on the touchline is asking you to go long rather than play out the back.

    lol we have our no.1 saying he cannot focus on a football game for 90 mins and no.9 admitting his strength is not scoring goals
