Arsenal didn’t have Ramsdale when we signed Martinez from them. Leno is still a good keeper and he is number 2 for them now. Arsenal and Chelsea are massive clubs for me, 2 of the biggest in the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joke doesn't work as he phrased it terribly. It doesn't work because it's shit and he's a radish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I guess Arteta regretted the following season and thus why they signed Ramsdale. Of course they two massive clubs but Chelsea are bigger than Arsenal football wise although Chelsea have lost some key players. Arsenal had a good season last season but have struggled since Wenger left but are fighting to try to get back to CL football. Chelsea have been CL for a long time and it was being touted after signing Lukaku they would be in the title race but obviously that didn’t work out but they were still the 3rd best team in the league. There is still a gulf between Chelsea and Arsenal. Chelsea want to fight the top 2, Arsenal want to get into the CL places.

I agree with the first paragraph, Ramsdale is better than Martinez with his feet, Ramsdale suits their style of play. I agree with the the second paragraph too. Chelsea have spent a lot more than Arsenal over the past few years, Arsenal are trying to play catch up with the signings of Ramsdale and Ben White, Nuno Tavares, to name but a few. I think Arteta will be an excellent manager in time, he’s made a good start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you again Marseille on loan for the season Arsenal aren’t letting White go just rumblings. I don’t think we would be interested anyway we have the same level of quality in our CB’s, I don’t feel he’s better than them.

Arsenal are a bigger club than Chelsea, in the same way that Man Utd are a bigger club than Man City. Some clubs are institutions, some are johnny-come-lately's with a few quid. I'd rather Villa aspired to become an institution (again) and I trust our owners to aim for that. ....anyway, back to transfers......'Announce Wijnaldum!' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough to make a full judgement and also interesting to see how different he is without Kounde. He looks very good but has mistakes in him but could be a next level up for us. I think he’ll become a fans favourite with his attitude. I don’t think he’s elegant going forward. That’s my thoughts based on the parts I’ve seen him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
