Because I'm bored and can't sleep, I decided to look at the great keepers heights.

E. Van Der Sar 1.97m
P. Cech 1.96m
P. Schmeichel 1.91m
G. Buffon 1.91m
D. Seaman 1.91m
L. yashin. 1.89m
O. Khan 1.88m
S. Maier 1.85m
G. Banks 1.85m
P. Shilton 1.83m
D. Zoff 1.82m


Potential targets:
T. Courtois 1.99m
M. Neuer 1.93m
E. Moraes 1.88m
K. Schmeichel 1.86m

Current staff
J. Hart 1.96m
A. Gunn 1.96m
W. Cabellero 1.86m
C. Bravo 1.83m

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.

Joe Corrigan 1.93m

First City keeper I remember thinking of as "big"

goat

if big is all we need  we could have kept the romanian lad

goat

probably too soon but donnarumma will be class and seeing as we gave milan robinho and de jong we might get a deal

gavin

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.

goat

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

Gareth

Ever considered a career in sports psychology?

Rowley Birkin QC

Yeah - Goat would be good at that...

goat

didnt do richard edghill any harm

gavin

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