    This feels very editorialized to manufacture drama where there is none.

    On the England situation:

    ‘The manager here is brilliant, he trusts the players he’s worked with before as we’ve seen in different types of ways - you’ll see Kalvin and Harry haven’t played the most amount of minutes but when they step up for England and are given the opportunity, they perform.

    So if if that’s the case for myself and I do get shown that trust to play another game if I haven’t played for my club then I will have to repay him.

    ‘But of course, I want to get back into my club team. I want to get into my club team and be able to give the manager a headache rather than just have Jordan [Pickford] as the England number one and me fall by the wayside.’

    That doesn’t sound like fearing for his place in the England squad, it’s more like he wants to push Pickford and himself to be their best and make the decision tough on Southgate because he has two good options.

    And on his “suffering” at Arsenal:

    ‘We work professionally really well together. We push each other in training and there’s days where I come in and I’m down because of the situation and he picks me up.

    ‘And for whatever reason there might be a day where he’s down and even though I’m suffering and hurting for not playing I have to stand up and be able to push him and make sure he’s ready for the weekend if he’s picked to play.’

    He is clearly saying in both situations that he wants to challenge for more time, but is also picking up and pushing his competition to be at their best. Interpreting that as “breaking his silence on the ‘suffering’ he has endured” is clickbait.

    Said like he was a shoe in for number 1 when he’s actually 3rd choice.

    Don’t see his position as 3rd choice in any grave danger at the moment.

    ffs, Ramsdale’s quote is being taken out of context. Read the original quote. He’s talking about how he and Raya work well together professionally and push each other to be better. And he says something like even though I’m suffering and hurting when I’m not playing, we help each other improve and there may be times where Ramsdale has to pick Raya up when Raya’s not playing

    I love how footballers lose perspective.

    Not long ago, Ramsdale was getting relegated year in and year in. Now earning millions at a top club and with a chance at a starting role.

    I’m sure Raya would have the same concerns about his place in the Spain squad should he be benched.

    Such is life. Try enjoy it.

      Strange take.

      You don’t get to the professional level with a ‘such is life’ attitude. These people have been top performers their whole lives

      If you’re a determined person, it’s very hard to accept a step back once you’ve made career progress and you only get to his level if you’re a determined person.

    Mokbel and the daily fail know what they’re doing. Creating a bit of a headline to get those sweet clicks.

    I’d be shocked if he doesn’t go in January or at the latest Summer. There’s no way someone as good as him (even if Raya is/isn’t better) will or should rot on the bench.

    What clubs need keepers atm? I can see us maybe going for him if Neuer’s comeback doesn’t work, Real or are they planning Kepa if Courtois can’t come back? Can’t think of another top club that need a new Keeper tbh?

    The answer is to put your head down and improve yourself as much as you can, not complain to the media
