Squad numbers had to be released today, that doesn't mean that they can't change as players leave and new ones join.
I find it interesting that Adel is allocated the number 10 shirt. If he was as close to leaving as we are led to believe, surely he wouldn't be allocated a shirt in the first 11.
That's the only thing you can read into it apart from the nine being free for a CF. I thought Faurlin may have got the ten as he wore it in pure season. Ferdinand is done since he's lost the five.
Ali's all the way down the list at 32 - does that mean he's on his way out again, on loan or a permanent deal?
A bit strange as I can see several vacated before the end of August namely: - 3. Armand TRAORE 10. Adel TAARABT 12. Jamie MACKIE 14. Esteban GRANERO 17. Joey BARTON 18. Loic REMY 19. Jose BOSINGWA 21. Luke YOUNG 24. Samba DIAKITE 33. Julio CESAR 35. Anton FERDINAND 40. Stephane MBIA
Luke young didn't even get a squad number last year did he? That's progress. Can some bright spark work out his cost per game so far? I bet it's horrific
