Seen it being noted in quite a few places now just how huge the team we're assembling.
Mamardashvili - 6ft6
Virgil - 6ft5
Konate - 6ft4
*Isak - 6ft4*
Gakpo - 6ft4
Alisson - 6ft4
Ekitike - 6ft3
Gravenberch - 6ft3
Szoboszali - 6ft2
Gomez - 6ft2
Woodman - 6ft2
Nunez - 6ft2
Jones - 6ft1
*Guehi - 6ft0*
It's got to be quite imposing as an opposition side to look across at Kick Off and see a team of giants staring back at you. Obviously it's unconfirmed that Guehi and Isak will come, but they would only add to what is already a very powerful looking side, if they were to sign for us.

Was thinking this myself MK, reminds me back to peak Mourinho Chelsea years when they had the likes of Terry, Ballack, Obi Mikel, Drogba etc. Proper imposing types who could also play of course.
Would free up Van Dijk a bit as him and Konate were the main threat from corners. and to be fair Jota was probably next best ?.

ewwwwww don't tell me we are going the Arteta ball way of playing.
28 Jul 2025 15:41:49
Isak would be 6'4" in stilettos, he looks around 6'2" (which is still tall) .
28 Jul 2025 16:16:11
Kloppers no we normally do 1st places not bottle job 2nds.
28 Jul 2025 16:20:11
What got you thinking of Isak in heels Nick ???.
28 Jul 2025 16:29:43
Great, then we can be even more useless from set pieces next season just with taller players complaining that we can't beat the first man :)
28 Jul 2025 16:40:59
Thunderbird2 will not like this at all. He does not like or value tall players; there's no need for them.
28 Jul 2025 17:00:24
Not being pedantic MK, but Guehi is 182cm which is under 6ft.
5 feet 11.654 inches to be precise. Which is short for a centre back.
28 Jul 2025 17:05:18
I find it hard to believe that Gakpo is 6'4.
28 Jul 2025 17:47:21
Jones isn't 6ft 1.n there is 3 goalkeepers in that line up.
28 Jul 2025 18:33:18
Now the smaller players salah, elliot, robbo, wirtz, doak, kerkez, frimpong, mcallister, endo, tsimikas, nghuemoa, and bradley nice little blend.
28 Jul 2025 18:36:42
Ekitike is same height as VVD.
28 Jul 2025 19:19:20
the issue is how many of them can you get on the pitch and where on the pitch are they?
28 Jul 2025 20:42:51
Diogo, God bless his soul, was only short but he regularly won headers and was clinical in the air.
Its timing, leap, positioning and technique.
Crouchy is a giant but he wasn’t great in the air.

Even with the hybrid pitches we have now, them stilettoes are going to be a nightmare to run in!
