When are these going to be released? Apart from transfers and fixtures, this is something I really look forward to. What number new signings going to get. Any big changes. Can see J Rod Getting 9, Clyne getting 2, Steven Davis in to the Teens, and Paolo 13. For current players: Hooiveld to 5, Foxy to 3
We've had this before although it isn't visible on the 1st page. They probably won't announce any until they submit their squad for the season.
So far we know Lambert is staying 7, Lallana is staying 20 and Rodriguez has got 9, because they're the shirts the shop is selling.
1 SKD 2 Richardson 3 Fox 4 Schneiderlin 5 Hooiveld 6 Fonte 7 Lambert 8 Cork 9 Rodriguez 10 Guly 11 Sharp 12 Clyne 13 Gazzaniga 14 Hammond 15 S. Davis 16 Ward-Prowse 17 De Ridder 18 Chaplow 19 Lee 20 Lallana 21 Butterfield 23 Puncheon 25 Seabourne 26 Stephens 27 Shaw All a guess. Think it'll roughly be the same.
1. K. Davis 2. Clyne 3. Fox 4. Schneiderlin 5. Hooiveld 6. Fonte 7. Lambert 8. Cork 9. Rodriguez 10. Guly 11. Sharp 12. S.Davis 13. Gazzaniga 14-18. 3 new signings, Richardson, JWP 19. Lee 20. Lallana 21-26. Seaborne, Chaplow, Puncheon, De Ridder, Hammond, Butterfield 27-29. Stephens, Shaw, Chambers
No there won't theres 21 players that are over 21 plus Paulo Gazzaniga is 20 and three new signings would be 24/25 depending whether or not Gazzaniga applies because he was bought
The store has a notice (which is kinda small), saying that getting numbers are at your own risk. You will not get a refund if they are changed in the new season.
You should be different and make sure not a single player has a number below 40 or so! Bit more original than the cliches of having the goalkeeper as number one, the creative playmaker as number 7, the forward at number 9 or 11, the central defenders number 2 and 3 with the wing backs as number 4 or 5.
Really? They have Lambert, Rodriguez and Lallana pre-packed so would be very dodgy of them to screw fans over with those. I have seen people in Lee, Hooiveld, Fonte and De Ridder shirts and I don't think they were pre-packed.
Haven't a clue about the pre packed ones. But I know i'm right on the getting no refund on the numbers if wrong . Happened to me when we had Bridge, got a shirt for my birthday and he left a month later. Then wouldn't refund me at first, but my mum complained and we got the money back. Since then tho they have had the sign.
Pretty safe bet that those three will be right though. PS Gazza and Clyne both count as U21, so we only have 20 in our 25 man list so far.
Yeah those three are a pretty safe bet but getting De Ridder 33 or Hooiveld 26 on the new shirt is a bit daft when there's a good chance both will change, especially Hooiveld.
Jos said he was confident of staying 26 as he'd asked to and it's not a particularly in demand number. But De Ridder 33 is daft if you go for that.
Adkins seems to have a system whereby players get their number in the first eleven according to their position, and then with a multiple of ten on the front, like Butterfield (1)2, Chaplow (1)8 and Hooiveld (2)6. So following this pattern, I think Seaborne may be moved to 15, and as Hooiveld seems to want to stay at 26, a new centre back we sign will be 5. My guess would be: 1. Davis 2. Richardson 3. Fox / NEW LB 4. Schneiderlin 5. NEW CB 6. Fonte 7. Lambert 8. Cork 9. Rogriguez 10. Guly 11. Sharp 12. Clyne 13. NEW LB / Fox 14. Hammond / Davis 15. Seaborne 16. NEW CB (if we sign a 2nd) 17. Davis / Ward Prowse 18. Chaplow 19. Lee 20. Lallana 21. Gazzaniga 22. Butterfield 23. Shaw 24. Chambers 25. Stephens 26. Hooiveld
It has to be 4 for Morgan otherwise the very lovely Mrs Godders will insist I return her bloody new shirt with 4 and Morgan on the back which she only bought to annoy me in the first place as she knows I can't stand the new kit.
Or he'll go down to 22, as he chose 33 because it's a multiple of 11. 22 and 11 were of course taken at the time.
