Welcome David and good luck.

He seems like a very nice chap from his interview.

I'm hoping this guy will be our new Seamo. I thought initially Ramsdale would be but I have my doubts now tbh.

Arteta might not have got him to use him as a Goalkeeper. I am half expecting him to be played as a left-back

He might be the striker we badly need

Forgetting about loyalty to any individual keeper, it is a shocking indictment of arteta and edu that we have signed 5 or 6 keepers since arteta was appointed manager - again he clearly wanted rid of what he inherited and that is fine and well. but to sign 5 keepers (before Raya) and none of them doing enough to convince, raises serious question marks on who is recruiting these players

Personally I have a feeling that Raya could be the answer long term, but I'm not convinced that he will be here long term cos I dont think el basque will drop ramsdale

Don't even joke about it John.

many a true word spoken in jest.

"The loanee from Brentford reckons he could be an OUTFIELD player."

I think after some of the (un-forced) Gaffs by Rambo last season made Arteta take a very serious look at the GK situation, particularly as Turner just wasn't up to playing the ball out with his feet and always looked Very Nervous.

Raya reminds me of Seamo - Ice Blood in his veins , shows far less emotion than Rambo and is Hungry for the No 1 Spot. Should be interesting to see how it all unfolds.

Mail Sport understands Mikel Arteta is giving serious consideration to giving David Raya a prolonged first-team opportunity in the coming weeks. Raya is said to have deeply impressed in training, particularly with his ability to accurately play out from defence. [@SamiMokbel81_DM] #afc

Prediction on keepers.

David Raya gets the nod against PSV > If he plays well, pressure mounts > 1 mistake by Ramsdale (even minor), and the gloves go to the Spaniard.

We aren't winning the league conceding 40 goals. We can't keep conceding from 1st shot. Clock is ticking.

Raya will take half the European games and potentially all the cup ties.

Rambo takes PL and CL here and there. He's a great shot-stopper, no question but some of the goals we concede, he seems in the wrong place.

Rashford's goal, two defenders blocking near-post, why not take a step or two to the left and actually save the shot? Couple more times he saved the ball and parried it straight to the players. No awareness in most set-pieces.

[rodders999]

I’ve lost all faith in Ramsdale and would make Raya first choice now. I just expect Ramsdale to concede pretty much everything on target these days and am almost surprised when he doesn’t.

7 times this year we’ve conceded from the oppositions first shot on target, that’s a brutal stat and it can’t be written off as just bad luck.

When Garnacho went through one on one late in the game Sunday I knew he’d score, I don’t expect Ramsdale to make a huge save for us anymore. Similarly if we concede a penalty I’ve no real hope of him stopping it.

He’s poor on crosses, dodgy with the ball at his feet, especially back passes which he continues to let run across his body drawing pressure on himself.

He made that wonder save at Anfield from Salah to win us a point in the run in last season but his form has tanked since then. He had a poor pre season and hasn’t impressed me in the first 4 league games. He gives me the jitters and I’d make the change now rather than wait for him to make the next clanger.
