..........But how encouraged are you so far?
He still has a fair bit to work on, but the early signs are quite promising.
I'm not trying to clutch at straws to justify the fee. But if he stays the full length of his contract as our first choice Keeper, i'd wanna hope that would mean he's lived up to fairly high standards.
Kepa - It's early days and don't wanna jinx

Do Ederson, Lloris or De Gea need to grow a few inches?

De Gea is taller than Kepa.
Lloris makes quite a lot of mistakes and he plays for Spurs so couldn't care less.
Ederson I'm not totally convinced

Think people have pretty much expressed my thoughts. Seems to be a good shot stopper, good with his feet but I havent been as impressed as others seem to be with his kicking (though i have noticed an improvement these last few games) and a little worried with him in crowded boxes. But very early days so lets see.

Initially I wasn't over impressed. Crosses seem to bother him as much as they do Dracula, but last couple of games he's seemed more assured. I do still have reservations about him coming for crosses but we shall see, time will tell.

I think he struggled in La Liga commanding his areas tbf, so this part of the game has never been his strongest tbf. In terms of shot stopping, including long and and short range saves as well as distribution he’s very adept imo.

Yes a good keeper with a lot of potential.

Doing how i thought he would. Good young keeper who will excel in the league in time, will be an up and down first season as he matures and gets used to the league.
Expect him to be brilliant next season

De Gea isn't a huge amount taller. Kepa is a bit diminutive is all

Not made a gaffe yet? Impressive for a young keeper if so being his first season in the league.

He had a bit of a dodgy game against Arsenal but other than that has been absolutely fine.
