Nice one Mikel. Aaron's crying now.

[–] InstructionCareless1@alien.top 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Aaron Ramsdale's father does Aaron Ramsdale no favour with his steady comments about the situation.

[–] CreativeHandles@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The whole quote doesn’t make it sound too bad though to be honest. He said he respects what is going on and have to get behind Raya anyways as he is part of the family.

Think title is out of context a bit.

[–] YMangoPie@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He actually had a great interview but the only controversial thing is in the title.

[–] Jettick22@alien.top 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well maybe he should try find it

Does that make Raya the Hitman?

[–] Razzler1973@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Raya's been having a lot of sunny days lately

[–] harshmangat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Now just need to teach him Solar Beam and he will sweep the whole opposition

Raya is the bullet, the transfer being the gun and Mikel Arteta being the hitman.

I feel for Ramsdale. Legitimately played his heart out last season only to be replaced by Raya. Arteta stated that he was going to rotate the duo but ever since Raya got here he has received 95% of the starts it's nuts. Like if you weren't going to play Ramsdale or select him then why did you let go of Matt Turner who would have been more content with less starts then you could have transferred Ramsdale for an absolute piece and then use those funds to then upgrade your squad in the Jan Transfer Window? It makes no sense

His smile and optimism: gone

[–] banned_salmon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He should call Shawn Michaels for some advice

[–] midniteauth0r@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

His smile an optimism. Gone.

[–] Much_Victory_902@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Boohoo get better if you want to start.

[–] Robcrook101@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If he was to leave, which team needs a goal keeper upgrade? They'll want to sell him for big money but where would /could he go as the starter?

[–] tobi1k@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

North London reunion with Kane at Bayern?

What happened to the song and dance Arteta was making about rotating GKs?

Did he really just want to drop Ramsdale?

[–] Late-Strength8377@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

just when u thought ramsdale had finally stopped crying, his father starts.

please just shut up lol

[–] Thoodmen@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No one with a brain believed the lie about rotating GKs from Arteta. It does not make any sense. In this position, you choose someone and stick with him unless a significant upgrade can be made.

Good job Mikel. The boy lost his dang smile. Are you happy?

Genuinly feel bad for Ramsdale as he really hasn't done anything wrong, but this is football and if the opportunity to upgrade on one of your positions presents itself then Aresenal and Arteta are not in the wrong either for doing so. This is just the world of football, they are professionals and Ramsdale will have no difficulty finding a top club (objectively) to take him on if he decides leaving is right for him.

[–] Ordinary_Mission3503@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

His arsenal career was pretty much done with that andreas periera goal vs arsenal

Ridiculous goal to conceede

[–] Hech15@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don't think that one particular mistake did anything to it... It's mostly the poor end to last season, shit preseason and shit start to the season

[–] Banged_by_bumrah@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You were never his number 1 Aaron it was just your turn

[–] I_am_not_Serabia@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does Raya even play better? I don't watch Arsenal's games but I saw those memes making fun of Raya when Havertz doesn't play, is it true?

[–] Revelry_in_the_dark_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No, raya is actually better. Ramsdale is more error prone and raya's passing game is much better as well.

[–] futurejoyboy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Arteta is an idiot for that ngl

[–] Revelry_in_the_dark_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Idiot for what, raya is overall a better keeper. Arteta just upgraded his keeper, is that a wrong thing to have done?

[–] MereGuest@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He’s a West Brom fan so if he fancies a challenge, both mentally and in a football sense also drastically reduced wages then get yourself up here Aaron for some real punishment.

This is so funny, he is incredibly cocky, then to have this happen might bring him down a peg or two.

[–] nazzadaley@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Ramsdale isn’t a great goalkeeper, just a good one with a big heart. What you thought when he joined is what other teams and fans see now: good goalkeeper, but not great. The crying isn’t doing him any favors. At least Lehman-style aggression from the bench you would at least respect. In this instance, he should tell his old man to stop talking. I don’t remember Bernd Leno, a superior keeper, acting like this. The problem, as you all know, is that he’s English and he’s got one eye on England. That, and his ego is hurt which is fine. But if you don’t think articles like this are as damaging to him and to the Arsenal cause, then you’re kidding yourself. Arteta won’t stand for it and if he doesn’t stop moping, he’ll be gone in the summer. Arsenal did it to the current best goalkeeper in the world, Emi Martinez so they won’t hesitate doing it to twice relegated Aaron Ramsdale.

[–] Revelry_in_the_dark_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Agree, well said.

[–] I_AM_ALWAYS_WRONG_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bro you can't waffle for that long and then say Emi is the best keeper in the world. He was way worse for Villa than Ramsdale was for us last season.

He wasn't even top 5 keepers in the world cup. He just saved the ones we remember.

Jesus christ, he won a mickey mouse individual trophy because he saved a couple of pens and a game saving final minute shot in the world cup final win.

He might get a chance to move to a club where he’ll actually win something though

[–] Notrius01@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thats deep coming from a mid table club fan. His last win occured around 3 months ago.

[–] stupidchair7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is he going to go into business for himself about Arsenal’s treatment of him

[–] milkonyourmustache@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The things Raya is better than Ramsdale at are things Ramsdale can improve in, whereas the opposite isn't true. Ramsdale should focus on improving in set pieces and long distribution to take his spot back

[–] iNfAMOUS70702@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Love all the references to the true GOAT HBK
