David Raya (1)

Listening to his interview. This guy has elite mentality.

Can’t believe I wasn’t keen on this signing at first (I loved Ramsdale) but I’m so glad to be proven very very wrong week in and week out. He’s so damn good.

He has the potential to be our best ever GK. A true Arsenal legend.

If we win League or 2, he will definitely end up as an Arsenal Legend

Love me some David Raya.

He’s no Unai Simón

Simple Simon can do one.

Jamie O’Cunta said on Sky earlier that Pickford is better than Raya. Fucking clown.

Given the recent goal Max scored, where was Pickford’s goalkeeping ability on that one? :sweat_smile:

Casual fans and mainstream media won’t give Raya his flowers until he wins a PL title.

The one I keep hearing is how can he be the best in the world if he can’t even start for his country. I don’t know much about Simon, but is he considered one of the best in the world?

He’s also the pundit who said spurs have the best defensive partnership in the PL. :grinning_face:

But what he forgets is that there’s a massive difference between being a great shot stopper for a mid table club like Everton compared to Raya who is under massive pressure in every game for a top European club.

Raya is also responsible for our defence being one of the best in Europe because defenders know that he is so reliable and his distribution is top level as well.

I wonder what Mikel will do next year if we make a semi final in one of the cups and our reserve goalie has played all preceding rounds.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result so if Arteta gets in the same situation, we’ll find out if he’s sane or not.

Saying that, Wenger used to repeat the same mistakes regularly. :grinning_face:

Tbh either Raya or Garcia could start for Spain. Simon isn’t better than them but he does have tenure in a successful side.

That’s insane. I’ve stopped at the part where he’s talking about dominating the box because it’s clearly a man who doesn’t watch either keeper much talking. Donnarumma is genuinely wank at that at it’s one of Rayas biggest strengths.

Shay Given was too polite to not call him out at that point

Lehmann in 05-06 was the best goalkeeper in the world at a time that Buffon, Kahn, Casillas, Cech, Dida and van der Sar were about.

I think Raya is in the bracket of best goalkeeper in the world right now. Still wouldn’t say he’s better than 05-06 Lehmann but it’s not a huge difference. He’s better at many things for sure.
