Raya's now joined on a permanent deal
Arteta messed up the transition but I think most people would agree he's a good choice for our style of play and a decent keeper

He's decent, not really top class. Not that I think Ramsdale is really top class either.
Overall I agree, Ramsdale has been treated poorly but Raya is an upgrade if only in the sense that his distribution is better which suits our style more.
The thing is almost all of our fullbacks or those we use at fullback can play centre back - Tomiyasu, White, Kiwior, Timber.
For numbers it might help to bring in a youngster as cover at full back, what we certainly don’t need to do is sink a ridiculous amount of money on an overhyped Italian.
I’m also a bit dubious about Italian players in the PL, it’s been a long time since anyone came here and really excelled. Always felt their style has never been suited to the athletic nature of modern PL football. Jorginho has had a fairly consistent career over here but will hardly go down as one of the greats. Before him I can’t remember any top players in recent times? You have to go back to the likes of Zola and Di Canio who are still the best Italians to ever play over here.

Can we all agree Mbappe is pretty shit? Absolute trash compared to the greats who have gone before him. So if he's the gold standard, then let's not worry such much about who we sign, let's focus on teaching our existing players how to play football. Would definitely be cheaper and a whole load of cunt agents would go broke so how can you argue against that?

See we're being linked with Ollie Watson again I thought he was only in his early 20's didn't realise he's 28.
