Funny thing is, Caballero is actually shorter than Kepa. But he doesn't look small.  

The bald head makes him look more intimidating!

It's an enigma bro, not our fault.  But those 3 cms means a lot in my book...

If he's really 186, that means the Wiki result I saw on Google the other day was right then. DAMN YOU EVEN MORE!

he does look on the short side for goalkeepers. My personal preference is for taller GKs... no, it doesn't have to be courtois tall, but tall enough to dominate crosses and to reach those upper-top shots.

Just hope the club fully evaluated him and this is not what it looked like: a panic buy. 

Llors is the same height as kepa Arrizabalaga and Llors is a top keeper real madrid must think kepa a good keeper if   real got kepa Arrizabalaga back in January the snake courtios would still be at Chelsea

Hahahah, CALM DOWN BRUH! In that time you had one source saying 186, I had 3-4 sources with 189. Not my fault. Now the things had changed.

THIS YEAR GOALS:

- buy a car

- take a trip to Vegas

- get a raise

- find out is Kepa really 189

- find out if Kovačić wants to stay at Chelsea permanently

Would like to think the club and Sarri had their homework before buying Kepa because the news that we were after him came almost immediately after Courtois went AWOL, IIRC. Kepa also mentioned the club had made contact 2 weeks ago and Sarri said he watch him last year while at Napoli. His fee may have been half covered by the sale of Courtois but we still had to pay 30+ million to sign him. The more panic buy - this is where the club could have taken the easy way out - would be signing Butland, who would have likely cost the same amount as the money we got from selling Courtois.

Yeah, it's really weird seeing a smaller keeper in our net after watching Courtois for so long. I take comfort in the fact that DDG and Lloris have become world class in the PL despite being very slight. Kepa looks much more muscular than either of those two so I think he'll be fine.

Might run into trouble against a side like United who have lots of giants. Can definitely see Mourinho starting Fellaini against us to stand right next to Kepa on every set piece.

Tbh i don't think he's going to be so vulnerable to the point Jose would consider him a weak link, but he certainly won't be running his own air traffic control system like Courtois does.

He is the  basically same height as Oblak, De Gea, ter Stegen, Ederson, Perin, Alex Meret, and Lloris. They are all within a cm or 2 of each other in height or the same.

He is 2 cms shorter than Alisson. Taller than Cillesson or Pickford.

I often included him on my lists, but always said we had no chance as I had the wrong figure for his release clause (when he turned down Real Madrid and signed a 7 year contract). The articles all said it was €150m. Now I see it was corrected.

Oh, btw, Wikipedia has fake height for him. He is 1.89m. Courtois is 1.99m, Donnarumma 1.96m, they are the only really good ones over 1.95m atm.

Wiki say Llors is 188 and kepa Arrizabalaga is 189 But both keepers are 6th 2ins I'm confused

Is kepa Arrizabalaga standing on yellow pages in that picture 😂😂😂

[El P. 1,354]

Ok, so he is 189, judging by that picture with De Gea.

Not only Courtois, ČECH is giant too. From 2004 we are having 195+ cms tall GK, no wonder that this one looks short to us.

They were in negotiations for weeks, it was no panic buy. He is the real deal, world class. I am over the moon we got him. Read all the Spanish fans sites for the national team, over half wanted him to start over De Gea.

Athletic Bilbao is a wonderful club to learn football at. We are set for years at GK. De Gea btw, has not looked the same since spring, making really stupid errors. No clue what's up with him.

Ffs give the kid a break about his height Well done kepa Arrizabalaga getting your 1st clean sheet today I hope there's many to come 

[the wes 7,212]

I don't know why some lads are worried about kepa height the thing I'm worried about is Luiz and Alonso keep getting on the starting line up
