Paulinho is number 8, Roberto Soldado number 9, Etienne Capoue 15 and Nacer Chadli 21.
Other changes include Kyle Walker taking number 2, Lewis Holtby 14, Andros Townsend 17 and Tom Carroll 28.
Further numbers for the younger players will follow as and when they are selected for the First Team squad.
(name in capital letters represents what appear on the player's shirt)

1 Heurelho Da Silva Gomes - GOMES
2 Kyle Walker - WALKER
3 Danny Rose - ROSE
4 Younes Kaboul - KABOUL
5 Jan Vertonghen - VERTONGHEN
6 Scott Parker - PARKER
7 Aaron Lennon - LENNON
8 Jose Paulo Bezerra Maciel Jnr - PAULINHO
9 Roberto Soldado Rillo - SOLDADO
10 Emmanuel Adebayor - ADEBAYOR
11 Gareth Bale - BALE
14 Lewis Holtby - HOLTBY
15 Etienne Capoue - CAPOUE
16 Kyle Naughton - NAUGHTON

20 Michael Dawson - DAWSON
21 Nacer Chadli - CHADLI
22 Gylfi Sigurdsson - SIGURDSSON
24 Brad Friedel - FRIEDEL

28 Thomas Carroll - CARROLL
29 Jake Livermore - LIVERMORE
30 Sandro Cordeiro - SANDRO
32 Benoit Assou-Ekotto - ASSOU-EKOTTO
35 Ezekiel Fryers - FRYERS

Sandro still number 30... strange, maybe he likes it, should really take Parker's 6 seeing as he's off.

And Gomes is still number 1, presumably so he doesn't have to change his Twitter handle <laugh>

Bale retains 11. Stop the press hack journos, there's a story there.

Strictly speaking, I think they're right. His name's Sandro Raniere Guimarães Cordeiro.
Not big on Portuguese naming customs though, so who knows?

In the case of Sandro, his naming convention is the same as...
Roberto Carlos da Silva Rocha
Leandro Damiao da Silva dos Santos
Julio Cesar Soares de Espindola
David Luiz Moreira Marinho
Daniel Alves da Silva
Luiz Gustavo Dias

...whilst, in other cases, you have...
Neymar da Silva Santos Junior
Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima

...and then you have...
Lucas Rodrigues Moura da Silva

...or...
Thiago Emiliano da Silva

No squad numbers for Kane or Falque?

Youth players get their numbers as and when they are called up according to the OS.

Presumably Sandro is happy with 30. Nice to see Carroll and Townsend get 'proper' numbers now, clearly we'll be seeing more of them in the coming season.

That's where this custom comes from, isn't it? Extremely similar if it's not.

I looked it up...
It is quite common for a person to go by one of their surnames which is not the last one in order, especially if the latter is very common. For example, Ayrton Senna da Silva chose to be known just as Ayrton Senna because Silva is a very common surname.

Silva, Moreira and Dias (and one would have to presume Cordeiro) are common names, so they go by a different name to avoid being confused with half the population of Belo Horizonte.

Falque's 23. Probably on the way out, though. Good player but we simply have better options in his position.

I forget how old he is...Ceballos plays in the same position doesn't he? Probably the better prospect at this point
 
EXCLUSIVE!

"Bale to stay at Spurs!"


Now, that really would be a news-worthy story!

It'll be a cold day in hell when the media run an equally crap, but positive story about Bale & Spurs

The express ran a story earlier that he was going to Madrid because his tax disc was up for renewal and he didn't want to renew it.

Surely him getting a squad number is just as 'good' an indication that he's staying.
 
I can't find where I posted it, but I managed to predict the squad numbers for the new boys.

Vlad wears 6
Lamela 11
Eriksen 23.

Well, I sort of guessed it. I stated that i hoped eriksen would be 23, but predicted 10. - Good enough <laugh>

For cup competitions vlad will wear 12 and lamela 33.

Right, 1 home shirt with Eriksen 23 it is!


Now to predict this weeks lottery numbers....
