that kid is 20, he wont come here until hes 23 imo. or maybe he wont become anything special and we sell him for 15M

And in 3 years all those players listing above should be still in our team so

well, we have 5 CBs now, so nothing much would have changed. if he ever comes here, which isnt a given

- - - Updated - - -

also, not so sure about Benatia staying here long

IMO Mehdi is here to stay. He knows and we know Barza is in his last season as our 2-3 CB choices

im not so sure. he was a starter from the beginning of the season but now, he fell off in the pecking order behind Rugani even. with Marseille now interested and having money, he might want to leave somewhere where he will be a starter

Does he remind anyone else of Zoff? Same sort of height, build, actions around the area.

Not enough evidence to suggest he has the same kind of cat reflexes, but he's definitely that smaller and agile keeper style, can make some spectacular saves.

Smaller?! The guy is 6"1

Yeah but 1.85m is not really that tall for a modern keeper. He doesn't look very big or very 'filled out', more like a keeper from yesteryear.

Feline reflexes

Mind you, Perin possesses pretty much the same stature.

 

[DAiDEViL]

Sommer is only 1.83m.

They might be smaller, but at least they don't go down like a tree @Donnarumma.

True, he is a bit stockier though. I know Meret is still a kid but he's unlikely to turn into Peruzzi in a few years.

If you look at the best modern keepers now (Buffon, Neuer, De Gea, Courtois, Lloris, Oblak, Handanovic, Navas) only Lloris (1.88m) and Navas (1.85m) are under 1.90m.

It's not a huge deal but you can expect a certain type of keeper when Navas, Bravo, Akinfeev and Ruffier are your kind of height.
