I thought Whickham would get 9, but getting 10 is, in my eyes, a clear indication he will play. Would have liked Sess to get 10, i heard Gyan has been wearing 9 pre-season, isn't 3 his lucky number? Maybe they are keeping the 9 for Campbell, as a show of confidence as he edges his way back?
this year all the players have there squad numbers on there training kits players who aint been officially announced yet have... Richardson 3 Turner 4 Brown 5 Cattermole 6 Malbranque 8 Gardner 11 Vaughan 15 Meyler 18 Bramble 19 Tounkara 21 Ferdinand 29 Gyan 33
Wish they'd swap Catts & Turner, i just like a holding mid in 4 and a CB in 6, i know it has no influence whatsoever on performance like.
well im over the moon sess is staying 28 i got it on the back of the bairns shirt when the new strip came out , lucky escape...
Well after watching Ji Don Wong and Whickham on Sat from what i saw and i know its early days and only a friendly. Ji Don is the better player
I'm not entirely sure that squad numbers actually mean anything these days, with the rotation policies adopted by one and all. Gyan is 33 but will play every game he is fit.
Thought Gyan would have wanted 3 as it's his lucky number apparently. not sure squad numbers mean much now in the good old days it was 1 to 11 on the pitch much easier for shirt buying purposes as well.
Tounkara has a squad number! So will we be seeing playing a part this season? It will be interesting as we'll have three big lads up front albeit three young unproven big lads.
I reckon Tounkara will be used as Nobel was, stick him on in the last 15-20 mins if we're doing well.
