It looks like Tottenham Hotspur is closing in on the signing of David Raya.

I wonder how much consideration has been given to his height - compared to other top-flight goalies.

Raya. 183 cm

Lloris. 188 cm

Martinez. 195 cm
Alisson. 193 cm
de Gea. 192 cm
Pope. 191 cm
Ederson. 188 cm
Pickford. 185 cm

Courtois. 200 cm
Donnarumma. 196 cm
Neuer. 193 cm
Simon. 190 cm
Onana. 190 cm

The Club certainly needs a new goalie but Raya’s lack of height is a big risk - even if he did very well last season.

He could be a midget for all I care as long as he keeps the ball out of the net

He's done very well the past few seasons. I don't see how his height will suddenly become a problem now

2nd most Crosses claimed in the league this year - 50 in 38 games. (Behind only Emi Martinez with 55)

Last year had 27 in 24 starts - which would have been on par with 2nd best over 38 games.

It’ll be weird to have a keeper who is actually competent with the ball at his feet.
It’s such a huge part of the game these days, it seems like the last few years almost every team has a keeper who is better with the ball than half of our outfield players.

I won’t lie, I won’t miss Hugo playing neck high balls that takes three touches to control to one of our wingbacks .

It will take some time to get used to not having to panic every time Lloris has the ball at his feet. It will be weird knowing Raya is decent with his feet.

Going from Hugo's passing to this is tear inducing.

EDIT: Even when he slips when passing out, Raya still manages to find his target :cry:

EDIT: EDIT: Did he just use his left foot as well? :cry: :cry:

Lloris couldn’t even use his left foot……….

So what you're saying is he comes up a bit short?

He's 6'1, he's not a midget 😂

"He's almost 6'2"

"He's 6'1 by the way"

"He's a lot nearer 6'2 than he is 6'1. That's a fact."

"He's 6'1. Now that is a fact."

"Why am I not surprised that metrics are beyond you? The day after he reaches 6'1, he is no longer 6'1."

"He's 6'1 until he grows another inch. That's how it works."

"Maybe you should have paid more attention in school. You would have learnt about rounding up or down to the nearest inch."

He talks about his own height and others here at 7 mins if you're worried...
