Looks like a case of pick a number out of a hat. Strange neither keeper No1. But after all, could put a picture of Pamela Andersons tits on the back of a shirt and who would notice. Ahemmm! ( different matter if they were on the front though) cue the photoshop boys.....
So I was right with the numbers then LOL I did say after the Spurs game Ji lost his number to Altidore, cattermole lost his number to cabral & Johnson will be our number 11. plus no one had the number 1 shirt when we had Gordon & the mig. let the keepers fight for it.
Can squad numbers be changed during a season once announced? No formal No. 1 but I guess PDC wants to keep Westy and Vito on their toes, competing for the right to play in nets. Catts at No 33...the last number possible. 2, 3 & 4 to fill...... RB, LB & CCM doesn't mean owt i suppose.
Wow did you really say all that? All without a singular, 'lol' or 'there's nothing small about me'. I'm impressed.
Di Canio still wants to add to Black Cats squad... despite bringing in TEN new faces this summer Di Canio said: 'We are searching for a real playmaker. Jack Colback can play in the middle but in a different way. One day he can be adapted. Even Craig Gardner can play there, but again in a different way. 'One day he will probably play there because we will be struggling for numbers in the middle. And maybe one day when we need more intensity and more aggression. But in the way that I want to play I would like to have two playmakers. 'Before Emanuele Giaccherini’s arrival I asked them for a different player in the middle with a lot of energy and aggression. But Giaccherini’s arrival gave me a chance to change things because he is fantastic in the way he can run midfield. 'I need a real playmaker that can bring tempo, quality and personality as well as physical presence. Before the weekend is not easy to make a signing but it is important to understand we need something there. 'If we move Colback into the middle we don’t have a natural left back, but this is not an issue now, although in the longer run it could be a problem. The club agree with me on this so we are working on it.’
Looks like that is what is going to happen I would be very happy to see 2. Jenkins 3. Cissokho/Rose 4. Fernandes
yep I agree with this and would love it if we got those players as well also wouldn't be surprised if Vaughan goes and another new signing comes in and takes 15 or 26, Mavrias maybe?
