Still a fair few inches taller than Cannavaro or Mascherano. They played in different leagues, sure, but one of them won the World Cup and the other one won the Champions League. If it’s all about height then how did that happen? It’s not like either of their teams were leaking goals. Never understood this strange fixation with height that we have in this country.No doubt the guy has ability, you don't get to Barcelona and MCFC without it.
The only concern is his height, he is small, very small for a CB.
Our team is already vertically challenged as it is, we need more height and power, especially at the back.
The Premier league is still far stronger physically than Spain. Just listen to Rodri's comments on this league and he is a big guy that can look after himself.Still a fair few inches taller than Cannavaro or Mascherano.

Sure, but you think the World Cup and the Champions League aren’t physical competitions? I get where you’re coming from but when Pep came to England people said he couldn’t win playing his game and lo and behold he went and smashed every record in the books playing his game.The Premier league is still far stronger physically than Spain.

He is never 5'11'' in a million yearsSure, but you think the World Cup and the Champions League aren’t physical competitions?

Fernandinho isn’t the tallest or strongest fella but is arguably the best 6 in the game and is doing better than any of our other fit centre backs filling in at the back.
The guy is 5’11, not a 5’3 Lorenzo Insigne. If Pep didn’t think he was physical enough he wouldn’t be at the club, let alone in the first team squad.
But we need to loose some first, that's the problem.this has to be a bluff ??? city need 2 or 3 players just to get through the season if we want to win things, its sounds like pep will be hoping sane and laporte will be back quicker then expected. but the gamble in that is they blow up with something else. mendy injury springs to mind ??? so if somebody comes available we must take the gamble and sign them

Big mistake imo as Laporte will take time to get back into match fitness and then confidence in his knee? We still needed a CB when vinny left so this is very short sighted by the club imo.
More like it, but still a little generous.5’9” three separate websites say
