I think he could drop below 5'5 . He's a weak 5'5 or 5'4.5 (164cm-165cm)

I didn't expect him to be 5'5. Thought he was at least 5'8 growing up.

Rob, what do you think about Arturo Vidal's height? I think his actual height could be between 5'9" 3/4 and 5'10" 1/4. In other places they consider him 180 cm or 181 even... Look at this photo Click Here

Do you think they are inflating palyers height on purpouse and if yes why exactly? Doesnt it sound better when you hear someone as short as Alexis Sanchez can make it? And are there any mainstream football clubs who are not inflating heights of players?

I reckon he is 166.5cm , a full inch shorter than 169cm Messi.
Rob , this guy needs 1/4" upgrade.

A 1/4 inch upgrade is necessary. Both Sanchez and Roberto Carlos are listed a little bit too low. He looked about a inch smaller than Messi when in Barcelona.

Met him in person last year and I’d say 166 cm. He looks shorter than the average Chilean guy, which is about 173 cm.

This guy carries his weight well and has good proportions. I could never guess his height on TV.

Still surprised me this listed,i dont know much of his height but under 5'5.5" is hard of believe in this momment, in his case i have a range of 5'5.5 to 5'6 but more probably the 5'5.5"

MD I do not feel above average with my 175cm in Chile ... Those measures are for those who enter the army (In Chile the service is VOLUNTARY) therefore those figures are not real.

So, Robertven8...there is actual data out there. The most recent height statistics for Chile put the heights somewhere around 170 cm to 171 cm depending on the generation. Even today 175 cm would be above average in Chile.

I am Chilean and I know him in person, very agree, is a very short type for Chilean standards even. In Chile the average height is approximately 175. My height is 175 cm and was next to me about 10 centimeters shorter than me.

He has got to be at least 166 cm if Mesut Ozil is 177 cm. I think there is 4 inches and franction between the two.

It's obvious he's diminutive but built like a tank to anyone who has ever watched him play.

I personally never though he'd be as short as this, but i suppose his muscular physique may disguise the fact he is rather small.

Alexis looks around 167 cm when seeing him in pictures with Messi (169) and Cazorla. Cazorla probably around 165 if not just under.

When I saw this listing I thought no way, he's 5'6/5'7. Then I looked at some pictures with Messi. Rob really does his homework, so kudos for that. 5'5 range it is.

Hey Rob, do you think he's closer to 5ft5 range than 5ft6? I've seen some ridiculous 5ft7 listings on the internet and I was almost sure he's around 167-168cm range. What's weird is that he seems taller than Messi(not only on his own)and at Arsenal or in public in general he doesn't seem like stand out short. To add to it, he's also packing more muscle mass than Messi, which should make him appear even shorter. Do you think Messi is 5ft6 range?

Editor Rob I think Sanchez can pull off looking 5ft 6 range on his own, but the more I've seen of him, I thought this guy looks a bit shorter than 5ft 6.

Wow I thought he was a legit 5'6 guy but I can see the listing being accurate here.

He's clearly taller than listed 5'6 Santi Cazorla. If Alexis is 5'5.25 what do you think about Santi Rob?

I always thought that the height of the soccer players were accurate, but I was wrong about that.
On the internet he's listed as 169 cm.
