Same height as Berbatov (maybe a nudge taller), which makes that line even more ridiculous
This is a cracking thread. Keep it up.
Thats harry's strategy for all games.
How much of this thread is now just a slightly surreal attempt to gauge his height from photos?
Right. How tall are the blokes holding the sheets?
Maybe that incident entering the hospital effected him more than we know... In his head he still sees those blokes holding a sheet in front of him and blocking his view of the edge of his penalty area...
The only clean sheet we've had with de Gea so far...Right. How tall are the blokes holding the sheets?
The comments after are speaking sense as well, and that cross mentioned in the first few that he tipped over the bar... to more criticism for being 'out of position', because as we all know keepers can tell before the ball is kicked whether it will be mis hit
The picture in that article doesnt exactly help in the 'guess De Gea's height' game either.

Better yet: According to a website of dubious veracity, De Gea's bird is 5'6. Now she's wearing heels that are at least 3 inches high in this photo, so she'll have been raised up to 5'9. Further, by measuring the length of the heel, making a line that length, and putting lines above her head, we can compare their height:
As the lines show, he's a good eight 8 inches taller, meaning he's actually 6'5, even taller than we'd been led to believe!

A) Don't know about lines, I never got up past her arse.Better yet: According to a website of dubious veracity, De Gea's bird is 5'6.

B) How tall is one of those bricks? We can count those.
Transfer thread on Bao Xishun anyone?
That's not De Gea's girlfriend.
This is
Someone go to the disney store with a tape measure
Seriously though, he's as tall as he was when our scouts and Fergie put their faith in him. Ridiculous detour for a thread.
He'll be a cracking keeper. In fairness to our fans on twitter, there's usually a high amount of spastics but every post I've read is supportive.
It's funny in a pathetic way - the discussion about his height. His height is what it is, it's not going to change, he isn't going to work on being taller or the coaches are going to devise special plans because he isn't 6'6" or something. Not like he is out there singing Skee-Lo "I wish I was a bit taller, I wish I was a baller" now that his confidence may have taken a bit of a wobble.
And you just joined in. Congratulations, dummy.
Also, references to Skee-Lo make you old and sad.
Right. How tall are the blokes holding the sheets?
Thats a 6 inch wedgie right there, should be easy to work out his height from that.
Shit, really? I was quite pleased that I recognised a hippety-hop lyric.
I still think I'm cool because I like the Skee-lo / Breeders mash-up on that old 2 Many DJs mix.
Am I wrong?

I love that tune (and that album) but I'm definitely old and sad. Sorry.
25 bricks x 3 inches (or maybe 75mm, it depends - someone will just have to go and find the doorway and measure it, leaving a DdG line on the wall of course)
Good to see the discussion's moved on from his footwork.

And remember the mortar between each brick
Accounted for in the 75.
Hang on, we don't need to measure the bricks, just go to that hospital an measure the height of that top hinge!
A) It took me a while
B) bricks are 3" inc cement so 75" = 6" 3"
Can we now please just accept he isn't in the Barthez school of slaphead dwarfs
Are you trying to claim he isn't bald?
You don't really think that barnet is real do you? Its only glued in place to make him look a couple of inches taller
Yeah, and his pubes are there to make his... well, you get the idea
A thread set for the classics.
Confirmed. De Gea is an optical illusion.
What size are those portraits?
I dont know, but the door frames in my house are 6'6", and he looks about 2" shorter than that doorframe. So he's 6'4" again
This thread
C'mon guys, this is sloppy thinking.
How far away is the camera from both DDG and the door jamb, and so what angle do they both subtend at the position of the camera?
Not enough knowns to make a judgement, I'm afraid.
Let's just move away from the topic of his height. I'm sure he is a good enough height for the likes of Steele and SAF to trust him as VDS' longterm replacement.
