Michelsen 2,126 Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 5 minutes ago, mrjc said: For the second CB (assuming #5 is a given), are people more #4 or #6? I've always thought of #4 as a defensive midfielder, #6 as a CB. Good chat I agree with you, but Dougie can keep #6. Should give 4 and 5 to Mings and Konsa, though, and Cash and Targett should be 2 and 3. Marvelous needs to give 11 to Ollie. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Wezbid 2,461 Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 I remember in my youth football days. The manager would throw the kitbag on the floor and it was a free for all for shirts. Usually people would do trades but there used to be a few scraps too. Great for morale and team building 10 mins before the match. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like McGinn to take 8 to free up 7 for a new signing and Marv will most likely give up the 11 shirt to Ollie. I agree with above I think a player in the first 11 numbers is generally a starter. I don't like Mings wearing 40, but that's his choice obviously. Why would McGinn change numbers? Link to post Share on other sites

I used to play up front. Link to post Share on other sites

AtkinsonWonderGoal 38 Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Unless I'm the only one who thinks this, I don't think we should change numbers once associated with a player. So much is spent on kit sales now to the fans that changes made to those players mean they are spoilt if they change. Link to post Share on other sites
villalad21 5,964 Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Give Watkins the number 9. Wesley not worthy that shirt. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

As long as they refund for ones bought with the incorrect number that particular summer. Then again I've never had a shirt with a name and number on and doubt I ever will.

Herman22 445 Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Good of Marv to give up the 11 jersey for Watkins. Cash taking the 2 jersey also makes sense. Marv moves to 19. Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderPower_14 1,414 Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Glad Watkins got 11, great result! I'm supportive of annual reshuffles. I like to think the first team should be mostly numbers in the 1-11 range. The last thing you want is some squad filler taking a key number. Link to post Share on other sites
