No mention of option to buy...

True. It's just a bit of a shock to see the seven-year contract. Don't think we've offered anyone more than the standard five years.

We now have 6 Spanish players in the first team. Our squad seem to be heavily stacked with Brazilians, Spaniards or Belgians at one time or another.

True but it doesn't take a genius to make a move happen by handing in a transfer request, does it? Is he feeling conflicted about the whole thing?

Transfermarkt and Whoscored also have him at 189. In that case, then he's not the shortest among the top six.

But the Wiki result on Google states 186. How contradicting!

I guess if you want something positive - we have always been decent when it comes to getting our No.1 keeper..?

Was going off the one in Wiki, which has him at 186.

Well, this is gonna be fun. 😬 Was just doing some height checking earlier and Kepa's the shortest of all the no.1 keepers in the top 6 and he's 13cm shorter than Courtois.

Might have something to do with the depression problem he's had/having.

So guessing he's generally good with his feet but prone to errors when the ball is in the air?

Random Fact (and hope I've fact checked correctly ) - Kepa is the third Basque player we've signed after Del Horno and Azpi.

Not to say Kepa will go down the same route but De Gea had a shocking first year in England before adapting and becoming a decent keeper.

True but those are some really bad, schoolboy errors though.

User problem.

He signed a SEVEN-year contract. SEVEN!
