He's 6ft 6.

How tall do you want him to be?

Yeah but he’s a small 6ft 6.
I recall a few years back commenting on here that he looked a prospect as a young keeper. Someone commented he was too physically weak. They did not understand how players develop. I don’t think he’s anywhere near Emi’s level currently but he could be.

Jesus, is he? He's always looked 12 and puny on tele. I don't have HD though.

🚨 Aston Villa have also retained an interest in Omar Marmoush having tried to sign him on loan in January.
@garyjacob

I imagine we'll have a lovely time fitting his £275,000 weekly wage into our system.

He might be willing to accept lower wages if our Egyptian owner can get him involved in some construction projects in his home country. ;)

I'd love the chutzpah. "Five million quid less per year, but there's a start for you if you're outside the Crown on Cricklewood Broadway at 7 on Monday morning. Bring your own shovel now, Omar!"

This is Birmingham, so he’ll have to get to the Mermaid for 7am for the start.

Trafford is taller then Donnarumma, but the latter has such long arms and legs he appears bigger.

Donnarumma also appears bigger because he's an absolutely world class goalkeeper.

That ****** played an absolute blinder against us for PSG.

Yes, apologies. I only knew of one legendary Paddy pick-up place, apart from the one I carry with me.

It should be enough to convince him, unless he thinks it's a pyramid scheme.

There was a time every keeper that visited Villa Park became Dino Zoff for 90 minutes. A week later back to being Peter Enkelmann.

I'd rather have Wilson than Sancho or Bailey.

Indeed. He’s been brilliant this season. And if you’re worried about his wages, keep in mind that as back up/rotation with SJM he replaces Guessand, Sancho, Elliott & Bailey in the squad.

Marmoush has essentially been on holiday all season, having played 90 minutes only three times—and two of those were cup matches.

I can see him going to Liverpool in the summer, and knowing us, we’ll probably be in for more of their mediocre players like Curtis Jones.

That’s not how it works, mate. HD fits more pixels in to the same number of square inches. So you have to sit further away from the telly to improve the picture quality.
