First thing I notice is no number 5. Centreback obviously on Hughton's radar. Surprised with the amount of changes. Morison, Howson, Vaughan all different numbers. Also no number 18, possibly a forward?
 
Whys the King of Spain lost his number 19 shirt?

Also feel sorry for the poor sod in my village who got the new away short with Howson 24 on his shirt!
 
So my lads shirt that says Morison 5 purchased at great expense, what is the point in changing existing numbers other than to try and force parents to shell out again!

no smith, francomb, adeyimi? is this an incomplete list

As Smith, Francomb and Adeyimi are still under 21 years old they don't need to be officially registered in the squad. That means that they will have a number in the squad but it won't be a fixed on like the rest of the squad

It's on the official site, so it's legit. No idea why Garrido isn't on there in all honesty, is the transfer still for international clearance?

Yeah, I think its still subject to international clearance.

well that list is 25 players, so add garrido to 26, less steer is u21 that's 25
maybe the youngsters are going on loan

edit- just seen dazz's post, fair enough
 
you can read about as much into squad numbers as you can pre-season matches to be honest.

i have only ever had one name on the back of my shirt - it was in 1994, the first year of squad numbers! i got 'robins - 12' on the back. i was so happy with it. we sold him the following month.

the moral of this story is,

never ever buy a name and number of a player on the back of your shirt unless you are prepared for disappointment when they a) move on or b) change it.

get your own name if you must <ok>
 
While I agree with Supers about the risks of getting names on shirts, personally I've only ever had my own name, I can see why Stilljarold is hacked off.

Kids want their favourite players name on their shirt. If the player is sold, that's unfortunate but its a risk you take. If the squad numbers are released and players have numbers changed for the sake of it then that's just going to ask for complaints from fans, especially how expensive it is to get names on shirts.

I also did the same. Nearly always get a name/number it represents a time in your norwich fan history when I look back and think yeah I really liked him... Shame i've got a shirt with croft 7 on though and about 5 with huckerby 6
 
You are right supers I have 3 young boys so with all the season tickets and kits it just gets a bit too expensive and this just shows how little the club care for the normal family man but that's life I suppose will see my boss and put in a transfer request:mad:
