I am not too obsessed about height, but I did read De Gea official height is 6 feet 3, hence my original question. For some reasons, he looks noticeable shorter to Smalling (officially same height), which is odd.
Would've been okay if it'd have been about Pogba's height, but it was more about de Gea's height than his.
This made me laugh alot more than it should have.
Mine and yours definitions of "okay" don't match up.
Can Pogba have room to grow taller?
You have a point
At least it's about him.That we do agree onYou have a point
TBF a lot of 'official' player heights look inaccurate to me, you shouldn't take those as gospel. A lot of the players I've met aren't as tall as they claim they are and I've felt since he joined that DDG isn't 6'3. Not that it matters.
Training pics are usually released on a Friday. I had hoped they would make an exception this week but hopefully we get some today.
It was all a dream mate, Madrid got him in the end as we all feared.
Ha that's fine, I agree it's crazy. I remember De Gea's "official height" being recorded as 6'3 when he first joined us, and no way in hell was he that big. He might not be far off it now he's grown a bit, but he's not that big for a goalkeeper.I am not too obsessed about height, but I did read De Gea official height is 6 feet 3, hence my original question.

Apologize for started this silly height war
There are a few pics circulating on Twitter now of Pogba & Mkhi going out for dinner
I don't think he will start. Probably won't even make the bench. I know LVG is gone so there won't be any talk of red zones, or 2 weeks mandatory fitness training but I still think that a weeks training isn't very long and would pose an unnecessary risk when other squad members are better prepared to start the season. I know people will think he has been in training because of his kickboxing instagram posts but the level of training he would do on holiday would more than likely be of a lesser intensity than that of a regular preseason with the team.

On the contrary, he's been in training for 4/5 days now, he will need some minutes to get match fit. He might only get 15 towards the end but he needs something otherwise it'll be worse if he starts against Southampton IMO.
Well to be honest I also don't just not care what his beliefs are I also don't care about who he votes for. One thing is a non-debatable fact the other is about personal choice.
Was not it too risky with toughest level ( PL) for a player who only have less than a week back to training. You know, players returning from injured often get game time in the Reserve first, due to the less intense nature of those games.Of course, as long as the actual transfer had been completed by that point (including medical). Can you imagine the fallout if we'd gone through all that and we found a serious medical condition and cancelled the transfer?!
Being in good shape is different from being match fit/ sharpness. Zlatan is very fit, but seeing him play so far, he's not as sharp as he should. Yes, he can still make huge impact, but he's a forward so it's less demanding in defensive phase (except defending set piece). Central midfielder is very demanding role, if not the most. A rusty midfielder may cost a team dearly in PL especially with the style Mourinho deploys.
He must be an incredible teammate I think.
