He had 17 before 8. He had 28 (I think?) before that.

I think the England thing has been since he was handed the number nine shirt, he wasn't happy about it because he's not a striker. Before that he had wore 7, 10 and 11

 

gerrard... 17? hmmmm it'll have to be looked up i guess....

gerrard specifically took 4 and that was saying where he played and even when he was stuck wide left i think he wore 4.

 

It was definitely 17

Not sure about 28 before that

 

found this rather fun website

if nothing else it proves gerrez right.

 

no 25 is only worn by true anfield greats????
ruddock, biscan and... pepe reina.

no 17 is a heavyweight number... mcmanaman, gerrard, ince, arbeloa, maxi and bleemamy wore it but most of all the mighty josemi graced the field wearing this shirt.

 

In my younger days, I wore 17 myself because of the likes of Macca and Gerrard, hence me knowing

He did wear 28 too

 

67, Jeez.

I thought Brad got the no.1 because he's a 'keeper and Reina wanted to keep his lucky number.
These days squad numbers are just numbers and nothing more, unless they have some sentimental significance to either the player or the club.

 

I thought the same

 

nah 's all about image rights and oneupmanship..... who's got 7 at utd and who gets it if ronaldo were to return?

 

Haven't they given it to Zaha

And Ronaldo would take that straight back no questions or answers necessary

 

valenica.... no 7.... not that ronaldo will come back but there's who gets shunted... ego

 

???? I know we were linked awhile ago but I thought we turned our attention to Llori? What happened with De Vrij and Martins?

 

Can't take a shirt number off a player if it is part of their contract unless they re-negotiate the existing players deal and make it worthwhile or move that player on.

 

does valencia even sell shirts lol.

 

There's maybe 3 or 4 numbers which mean something at clubs; number 1 (unless the keeper prefers another, like Reina), number 7 for alot of clubs has history although sometimes 11 equally so, 9 has typically been the star striker and the 10 shirt. The rest are garbage who no one cares about. Any striker coming to a PL team and being given the number 9 will feel a bit of pride and expectation if they follow English football.

I hope Aspas steps up - I think he'll do well.

 

What a boring conversation.

 

it was very boring today... pity you didn't make something up for us!!!

 

Here's something I found... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...665/Premier-League-Summer-Transfers-2013.html

I haven't been keeping up to date with our transfers as much as the rest of you but I think I might have noticed us selling Carlos Tevez for £10M!

 

Why the **** did we sell Tevez!! FSG OUT!

 

Selling club
