sparrow1988 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 So, saw proper numbers been worn in a friendly mentioned in another thread earlier and thought has the club announced its list for the coming season or not. A quick glance at the OS just shows last season's numbers. Anyone got any info regarding this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) 1 Gollini / GUZAN 2 Baker 3 Bennett 4 RICHARDS 5 Okore 6 Clark 7 Bacuna 8 Gana 9 Sinclair 11 AGBONLAHOR 12 Gestede 13 STEER 14 Elphick 15 Westwood 16 LESCOTT 17 Veretout 18 19 Ayew 20 Hepburn-Murphy 21 22 Gardner 23 24 Tshibola / SANCHEZ 25 26 27 Lyden 28 Green 29 Cissokho 30 Grealish That's what I've worked out so far, with CAPS players being ones which I haven't seen with the number, so placed with the number they wore last season Edited July 27, 2016 by skarroki Better detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Skarroki, I'm sure you're aware of this and it's a typo but it's Lyden not Lynden, thanks for posting though, your posts are always well thought out and insightful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenko#4 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 A random question on this subject, but do players sometimes have it written into their contract that they must have a certain squad number? I know it is unlikely that the above are already fixed, but looking at that list for example, Elphick (as potential club captain) should surely have 4,5, or 6. (was 5 for Bournemouth I think). It would be a statement of intent by the club to give Lescott/Richards/Agbonlahors number to someone else. I think they did the same with the bomb squad a few years ago.

Players can ask for a specific number at the club when signing, but I think most players will request it but not make a huge issue with what number they wear. As an example, I would imagine Ibrahimovic at Utd had it agreed he'd be wearing the 9 shirt, because it would have something to do with his image rights, the same as Beckham always getting the number 23, I think they took the 23 shirt off an academy player midseason at LA Galaxy because Beckham wanted his number to fit the brand.

Paddywhack Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I have a weird obsession with squad numbers, I don't know why. I hate it when they don't make sense, a number 3 upfront, number 7 in goal, number 9 centre back. *shudders* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Some people just want to watch the world burn. I actually thought for a second, "was...was Gallas a striker..?" Anything after the first 11 is fair game (apart from a number 13 outfield player). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I'd have given out these squad numbers 91 Guzan (now gone) 92 Hutton 94 Richards 95 Lescott 97 Bacuna 98 Sinclair 99 Flabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UppsalaVillan Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 No one else picked up on Hepburn-Murphy wearing 20? Where is Adama? Is he taking the coveted number 10 or are we saving it for our marquee striker signing next week? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's great news that he has no.20 but it is worth remembering that Delfouneso had no.14 when he was Hepburn-Murphy's age. It doesn't really mean much, they are completely different types of players, I think that Delfouneso had better technique than Hepburn-Murphy at the same age but I have the opinion that Hepburn-Murphy has a better attitude/ mentality than Delfouneso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fight Like Lions Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 How late are they going to leave this announcement? I presume there is a deadline set by the Football League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamsonwoodVillan Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 At the Middlesbrough game Gollini was 1, Elphick was 14, Grealish was 30, Tshibola was 10, Gestede was 12, Cissokho was 29. Other than that I think the rest of the squad numbers were unchanged from last season. As of today we don't have a 6 or an 8. I'm assuming if it goes through McCormack would take 8, a new midfielder may take 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
