[I'll Bee Damned]

That tickled me

Just been reminded by looking at another thread, that I meant to post this after the game on Saturday:

2 "pre-assists" in 2 games for Raya......

Or long balls as Pep calls them. ?

That second goal was so long-ball.

He looks like a badly rendered fifa avatar in that pic.
Or is it not being used to no beard

Now Spain are out I'm quite glad our players' involvement in the tournament is over with no one getting knackered out or injured.

Gives him more time to sort out a January move

It's a little worrying that Raya doesn't appear to have played in any oft he friendlies since coming back from the World Cup. Does anyone know if he was involved in the Chelsea game yesterday that seems to have got very little publicity?

Agree I haven’t seen him in any pics yet and there’s been no update to say hes got injury ?‍

Well I’m guessing ‘no-one’s asked’. Club don’t tend to offer up injury info unless asked specifically. You’d have thought though that if both Raya and Cox were out injured we’d be making pretty strong moves to get an emergency loan in! Sure he’s fine prob played v chelsea

He was at the WC longer than everyone else, so has come back later than everyone else.

 

[stevendamico]

So, if the news that Thomas Strakosha is looking for a move is true, could that be an indication that he knows Raya is getting closer to resigning and therefore doesn't see playing time in his future?

Realize it's all speculation, but was wondering what others thought.

Had me worried. Resigning means he’s off. Hope you meant re-signing.

Can we talk about Strakosha in the Strakosha thread?

Is Raya ok ?

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Is Raya ok ?

Training today.

 

[nick logan]

Training today.

PHEW !!!!

 

[James30]

Back in training today !

 

[TW3Bee]

Hasn't played any football for about a Month, bit worried about his match sharpness, or is that not so much of a worry for a goalkeeper?

 

[londondude]

Come on David, give us a double Christmas present by signing a 5 year deal .

[North London Bee]

Doubt if they could afford him.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

David ain't taking a pay cut to play in an inferior league. Nailed on replacement for Lloris at Tottenham imo.

 

[Downbeat Bee]

Why would he want to go there?

Imagine saying that for much of the last 50 years.

 

[Boston Bee]

My sense is that when he goes it will be back to Spain.

Only after Conte walks

Or Fabianski

 

[BFC1997]

Or Fabianski

I think they have Areola lined up for that.

It may not be a pay cut (Raya hasn't signed a new contract), but, I agree, there will be bigger opportunities for him.

Continued speculation in AS about a potential move for Raya from Ajax as soon as January. With DR under contract till 2024 the ball would be in our court. The only appeal would be regular ECL football I guess. Not sure I can see this unless he really wants to leave.

 

[BFC1997]

This one wouldn’t make sense to me.

The level of the Eredivisie is considerably lower than that of the Premier League, and even a great contract from Ajax, who are obviously a massive club, can’t be the best financial offer on the table.

He would play Champions League football, but then I can’t see him signing for Celtic or Rangers either.

 

[FJBee]

Might view it as a spring board to a bigger club, but he could do that just as well here.

Gonna be missed big time once he’s gone. Shame he didn’t have a longer contract, if he had another year or two on it he might have been our first £50m player.

AS?

 

[unBEEliveable]

AS?

Diario AS - Spanish sports daily.

Bit of a nothing article to be honest:

• They have communicated their interest to Raya's entourage (according to AS sources)
• Ajax also interested in Noppert and Rulli (Villareal)
• The ball is in our court due to contract running to 2024
• Zero direct quotes in the article from anyone

Article here in Spanish

I can’t see that they’d be able to afford him?

 

[beebhoy]

I noticed that he left the pitch early on the post game walk around on his own, is this another sign or am I reading too much into it?

I think he was carrying a bit of injury yesterday, as his kicking wasn’t as long or up to his usual best. Only my observation no other info to confirm.
