No objections allowed! You are either with me or not with me

    Clrnc obviously is a tweet with partial context so I don't really care but as a guiding principle I'm happy stamp out any dissenters in the playing squad but coaches should have much more leeway to challenge the manager privately.

        The reasons were probably numerous, I doubt Arteta got rid of him for a small disagreement. Doesn't really matter anyway, we didn't miss him.

        More in depth story. Basically Round didn't agree to allocate more resources to another GK instead of other positions

            Clrnc there are no sources for any of this. Are we just supposed to take these people at their word? McNicholas needs to learn how to cite properly as well, even if it's an anonymous source.

                Coombs His brother is Ramsdales agent. Reckon he has the inside track here and probably knew this for a while but publishing now because Ramsdales time with us is over.

                    Can't complain if Ramsdale's media connect leads to a better fee.

                    Qwiss right, but that's a deeply compromised source with a direct financial stake in framing things a certain way. People are already treating this story as gospel, when its anything but.

                        Coombs that's a deeply compromised source

                        Making a mental note to refer to my brother this way!

                        I can't see the problem here. It's highly likely to be a true story (or as true as football leaks ever are) due to the Steve Round factor—the part that would be left out would probably be that Round was already considered halfway behind the curve.

                        If Ramsdale's media connect helps us move him on and helps him get ahead, so much the better. And if Arteta is ruthless with the squad but also consistently makes good decisions, so much the better.

                            Burnwinter all true, but my more academic sensibilities balk at what feels like shoddy journalism. Especially in the context of social media engagement farmers.

                              Sicario2 - Tier 1 haha

                              He won us the game, didn't he? Watched the game in a pub in Bristol and ended up chatting to a Spurs fan (howwwww?). He was quite shocked to hear me opine Raya is better than Ramsdale, but he clearly is.

                                Mirth Good way of putting it, he has total confidence at the moment.

                                  He's the golden glove winner from last season as well. He is a huge part of what we do as a defensive unit and how we retain control and initiate attacks. We need to begin to put some respek on his name.

                                  Being slow to recognize this is as bad as being slow to recognize that Saka is world class...

                                  can imagine hes trying to have the game of his life every week given that he knows the manager gets tired of goalkeepers at an astonishingly quick pace
