In old money

1.99m = 6' 6" (Courtois, tallest)

1.83m = 6' (Bravo, shittest)

I'm surprised. Angus Gunn looks taller than Joe. Must be a right skinny bugger.

He is proper skinny! Could be a disadvantage. Mind you, he's still got time to grow and who knows if wiki is right!?

De Gea was a skinny bastard and he's turned out OK.

I don't think it helps the keeper being mocked by his own fans. The guy is going through a bad time at the moment. He must be a better keeper than we have seen so far.

if he doesnt want to be mocked he should cut out the shit hes being mocked for

That was the most shameful episode of City fans deriding their own players. Edgy was a good lad and was unfortunate with injuries.
