[Malwood]

How come a couple of numbers (eg 40) are repeated, please?

 

[Monkman]

Poor Remo. Why do people find it so hard to spell Freuler?

How come a couple of numbers (eg 40) are repeated, please?

Last known officially confirmed numbers for some of the young players - Hammond, Konate, Larson - appear to have been worn by other players in pre-season - and with those not being official, and some of those players likely not being here - then it's questionable who will have that number come official confirmation time...

TL: DR - waiting on official confirmations.

 

[congo_red_49]

Poor Remo. Why do people find it so hard to spell Freuler?

With apologies to the spelling police - this is now corrected.

 

[Monkman]

Sorry, not wanting to pick on you - you've spelt much harder names correctly. It's just odd to me that Frueler is more common on the forum than Freuler for some reason

 

[congo_red_49]

I don't feel picked on - I appreciate the help. I'll be dropping typos all over the place today, as I'm coming off a full-weekend music festival

I always cock it up. I think it is because when you say his name you pronounce the U more than the E in the first part of his name.

Anyway, names and numbers which I currently hate

2. Giulian Biancone - France - Should be Aurier
3. Steve Cook - England - Should be Richards
5. Orel Mangala - Belgium - A centre mid should never be 5 unless you name is Zidane. Give him 6.
6. Jonjo Shelvey - England - He doesn't deserve a squad number.
7. Neco Williams - Wales - Don't be stupid.
8. Cheikhou Kouyaté - Senegal (Changed from 21, per pre-season appearances) - Are they giving the number 8 shirt to the oldest midfielder in the squad on purpose?
20. Brennan Johnson - Wales - Would look better with the number 7 shirt.
22. Ryan Yates - England - Vice Captain - Would look better with the number 8 shirt.
38. Felipe - Brazil - Give him the 18 shirt he had at Athletico or the number 5.
41. Brandon Aguilera - Costa Rica - Needs a better number.

 

[Strummer]

f*** Shelvey off and give Felipe the #6

 

[Bonfy177]

Love this list @congo_red, being inherently lazy means I can just have a quick look daily and watch the gaps get filled

 

[Est.1865]

f*** Shelvey off and give Felipe the #6

Sangare would be ideal in that #6 shirt

 

[Darcy]

Any idea when they will be releasing the confirmation of the numbers?

 

[congo_red_49]

Any idea when they will be releasing the confirmation of the numbers?

If last season is anything to go by...about an hour before kick-off of the opening competitive game.

 

[RedKez]

Cook and Shelvey will defo not get those numbers..

 

[congo_red_49]

Updated with confirmed loans for Donnelly and Back.

 

[Omar Devone Little]

Sangare would be ideal in that #6 shirt

Must say I'm in the camp where centre backs should be 5 and 6 and your defensive midfielder gets 4.

 

[congo_red_49]

Added Elanga.

 

[Notcher]

Elanga will wear No 21

 

[congo_red_49]

Elanga will wear No 21

Confirmed source, or speculation?

Confirmed from a good mate at the club. Club will announce later

Good enough for me. I've popped him against 21 - as the list isn't anywhere near official at the moment anyway.

Now confirmed anyway

 

[gamble]

I like how Arter is in the "not known" list, like he's getting a number

 

[Statto]

69

 

[congo_red_49]

I like how Arter is in the "not known" list, like he's getting a number

I might just give him '0'
