GENTLEMAN Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Just 26. Jimmy = No Terry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Copied and pasted directly from site so if those players aren't included... Terry wasn't coming back, and rightfully so as regards a playing position. But Snodgrass was 7 last year... (no, I don't think so unfortunately) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he would still be useful influence as a coach but why wouldn't Chelsea take that up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fight Like Lions Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 No O’Hare or Suliman on that list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 3, 2018 Moderator Share Posted August 3, 2018 From what I can see, of the players who are still here that appeared for the first team last season (in any comp), the players with no number are : O'Hare M.Clark Doyle-Hayes McCormack Lyden Suliman Blackett-Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 No Richards or McCormack. £4.16m in wages for two players who are not in the 1st team and never will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Number 1 is Vacant I reckon Bruce will be signing a new GK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) U23 players don't need to be registered do they, so I presume this is why they have no official squad number as yet and the ones that have are seen as "first teamers" so have been allocated already.

That's probably the case, but it's also the point being hinted at. In other words we won't be seeing the unregistered ones that often because Bruce doesn't regard them as first teamers. At the very least I'd have liked to see O'Hare get a number, if even to boost his morale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 1, 4, 7 and 11 free. How many clubs would have 4 numbers under 12 free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) 1 - Nyland? 4 - New CB (Tuanzebe/Huth/?) 7 - Snodgrass or similar/Powell? 11 - Abraham? Hopefully we’ve intentionally left those numbers available for new signings... Would be all set for a promotion push if we strengthen in those areas too.

It begs the question why we got that Portuguese dude on loan then, we can only loan 5 players why waste one on a sub / 3rd choice keeper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Squad is starting to look a little thin and academy reliant. Especially considering a lot of the team are older and will need resting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
