I actually thought it was leaning towards he would stay at Tottenham for the year and see it out. Speaking on Hawksbee and Jacobs about today’s news, the former Spurs goalkeeper said: “I said this the other night, I was doing the transfer show, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he stayed at Tottenham. “Then if you’re Mikel Arteta, and let’s say Raya is the No.2 and he comes in and when he’s signing his paperwork, ‘Yep, I’m going to be a team player’, but then the sixth, seventh month, he starts getting frustrated and he all of a sudden is not a team player – well, then you have an issue.”īrad Friedel has told talkSPORT he wouldn’t be surprised if Harry Kane chose to reject a move to Bayern Munich and stayed at Tottenham. “Then you start contacting your agent, looking for moves elsewhere and loan move. ![]() And any goalkeeper I’ve ever met who has the ability to be a No.1, when they are number two for one month, okay, two months, okay, but when he gets past the third month, you’re frustrated, you want to play. “I don’t know what’s being said to them, but what I know is that Raya is a Premier League goalkeeper who is good enough to be a No.1 at a host of clubs. ![]() It’s too difficult of a position to keep team spirit and cohesiveness and camaraderie. “Let’s say he goes in and he plays well and then he keeps his position, Ramsdale’s upset. “Let’s say Raya comes in at Arsenal, he gets his chance, he plays well, and then he gets taken out, he’s upset. “But I knew, I was 42 years old when I was dropped, I’d played my whole career, so then it can work. “The only time it works is if your other goalkeeper is young and he’s learning and he’s coming up, or, in my case, I was really old and I was on the way down. The guy who doesn’t play, Matt Turner, who was just there, sat on the bench for a whole year, should never really have signed for Arsenal in the first place, in my opinion, because he’s good enough to play somewhere. “Two number ones, can they exist at a club?
