skarroki Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Saw the new squad numbers announced today. Always a day I look forward to, for no real reason at all. 1 Emiliano Martínez (GK) 16 -- 31 Carney Chukwuemeka 2 Matty Cash 17 Trezeguet 32 Jaden Philogene-Bidace 3 Matt Targett 18 Ashley Young 33 -- 4 Ezri Konsa 19 Marvelous Nakamba 34 Tyreik Wright 5 Tyrone Mings 20 Danny Ings 35 -- 6 Douglas Luiz 21 Anwar El Ghazi 36 Lamare Bogarde 7 John McGinn 22 -- 37 Mungo Bridge 8 Morgan Sanson 23 -- 38 Viljami Sinisalo (GK) 9 Wesley 24 Frédéric Guilbert 39 Keinan Davis 10 Emiliano Buendía 25 -- 40 Aaron Ramsey 11 Ollie Watkins 26 -- 41 Jacob Ramsey 12 Jed Steer (GK) 27 -- 42 Arjan Raikhy 13 -- 28 -- 43 Brad Young 14 Conor Hourihane 29 -- 44 Filip Marschall (GK) 15 Bertrand Traoré 30 Kortney Hause 45 Ben Chrisene Currently just Leon Bailey unassigned. As I mentioned on his topic, I believe he's waiting for Wesley to leave so he can take the 9 shirt. Players out on loan with numbers assigned: 33 Kaine Kesler-Hayden 35 Louie Barry 47 Seb Revan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junxs Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I'm sure I saw some 'Buendia 20' shirts on twitter, poor souls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I'd like to see all first team players have numbers below 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I was hoping McGinn would take the number 8 and leave the 7 to Young, just for nostalgia's sake. Not a fan of number 20 for a striker, but last time it didn't turn out too badly with Tekkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 From what I can see, Bailey has been given the 31 shirt and Chukwuemeka has been moved to the 33 shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 It also looks like JPB has been shifted to 62 and Sinisalo is 63, I haven't noticed numbers of other academy players but maybe they haven't made the same level of impression Chuk has, so they're back off to the under-23s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junxs Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) Now that Bailey has officially been unveiled and our first game is only hours away, has he been given a squad number yet? Edit: Just to add I know he was wearing 31 on his top in the pictures, but thats officially Chukwuemekas number. So I presume he was just wearing his top for the photoshoot Edited August 13, 2021 by Junxs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I never understand why they leave so many numbers in the twenties blank — I used to think it was in case any big signings come in late in the window so they can have a ‘first-team player number.’ But it doesn’t look like we’re going to be signing many more players, if any, so I guess that’s that theory out the window. Why no one has gone for ‘23’ baffles me too — who wouldn’t want to emulate Michael Jordan? Maybe I’m old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Did it annoy anyone else that the 2 Chukwuemekas both had "C." before their names on the kit? I mean whats the point, its supposed to distinguish the 2 players, so surely it makes no sense to add another 2 characters as the name is long enough as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect a deadline day move for Scamacca. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
