This one done then or what? On't other side of the planet so officially out of the loop.
 
Wow. That is... Wow.

Makes me wonder how we sound when we comment on players we profess to know inside out when really, we don't have a clue.
But you do have a one game clue. He played against us a few seasons ago in the FA Cup and performed a damn sight better than Ramsdale.
 

Interesting stuff .
Think height in modern keeping matters most in crosses and corners .
Most forwards are told to keep it down, head it down etc which probably means a keeper who can get down quicker is more effective .
A lot is made of a keeper’s “presence”. The best keepers are those who can get down quickly to use their hands but also calculate when that’s not possible and instead use their feet. De Gea was an absolute master of the foot save and he’s not exactly a giant.

I found an article about it: the mean average height for a PL keeper is 1.91m but the distribution is skewed taller so the median point is lower.

TL;DR: Cooper’s height is absolutely no issue.
 

Kelly and Tracy didn’t strike me as being particularly tall ?

Edit: Bloody hell - wiki reckons Kelly 6ft 2 !!
