10 is vacant..... is that not the rumoured numbers for Ramirez?

 

Three and Ten both being vacant speaks volumes.

 

Ramirez wears 10 at Bologna, yes.

 

Guly was ten wasn't he? I've got from 60% sure to Gaston signing to 85% just from this post.

 

Interesting so we have:- 3,10,15,17,24,29,30,31,-43. All available ?

 

Matty Phillips could take #17 if he signs? 7 is an attacking number in NA's system.

 

I hate to mention the taboo 'B' word, but what's the chances number 3 could be for Buttner...?

 

Close to zero. Adkins admitted today the deal was off.

 

Other news from this is that Seaborne and Butterfield are apparently in the 25 man squad. We ain't signing a left back though.

 

Yeah a ESPN agent said Ramirez would get number 10 .

 

Oh there's me waiting all summer to see what number of should get on my new Barnard shirt.

 

Ramirez was definitely rumoured to get no.10

 

I bit gutted for Jack Cork that he lost #8, I thought he was going to hold on to that long term as a key player. Excited that JWP has been given 16, I hope that says he'll be used a bit this season.
Interesting that 3's been left open, it doesn't seem like we're going to be signing a left back so that seems a bit odd. #10 left for Ramirez conforms with reports in Italy, and I'd expect #15 for a new CB and #17 for Philips if he signs.
Of course you shouldn't read so much into numbers..they seem to fascinate me for some reason

 

Another observation; after being told they are free to find another club, Adkins has even not given squad numbers to Forte, Barnard or Dickson (though Forte has just gone on loan to Crawley for 3 months). Also, no squad number for Reeves, which I find surprising. He seemed like a decent prospect to me, and I had no idea he no longer features in Adkins' plans!

 

He's almost 21 with no sort of run in the side, and not even a real position. I'm not even slightly surprised.

 

25 players there, how many under 21 players there... 5? Leaves space for 5 more signings?

 

Indeed. But if we sign: Ramirez, Phillips, a 21 or under CB and an experienced CB. We only have to register the experienced CB.

Ramirez, Phillips and the 21 or under CB won't need registering. I think I got that right?

 

When I looked at the rules it basically seems to say you can have unlimited players under the age of 21.

 

Yep. It's 25 players aged over 21, so if we signed Phillips and Ramirez they wouldn't count as part of the 25.
