I wonder if 10 was offered to Jack

I thought that Jordan the First would be 3 but with Aly out on loan, Bennett will probably hang around as a reserve left back (albeit I expect Rico to be second choice to Amavi)

[villasjf]

I am surprised that Bennett is in that list and holds the No 3, no No 10 listed? had to look up Andre Green.

[Dave]

I count 25 players over the age of 21 in that lot, so presumably if we have somebody 'not yet arrived' in the number 10 shirt then one player from the list above will be missing out?

Edit: counting again then there are 26, so one of that lot won't be in our squad for the season.

Wasn't there talk of Steer going out on loan again?

[KRS]

I'd imagine they'll be a few more ins/outs before the end of the transfer window.

[Dante Lavelli]

I'd imagine they'll be a few more ins/outs before the end of the transfer window.

Yeah, at the very least I'd hope that a few youngsters go off on loan.

[Mister E]

No #16.
Charlie still in there?!
Would Sellers and Calder be considered outside this list or do they need to be listed in order to get Premier game time?

[Toronto Villa]

All pretty much goes to prove that squad numbers don't mean anything nowadays.

[joe_c]

16 is an ill omened number as well I see. I wish Sinclair had a different number, 9 for anyone other than a central striker really irritates me. I'll stop now before I get cross about all the other allocations I don't approve of.

So, Tonev hasn't been given a squad number.....good!

[UK Redsox]

So, Tonev hasn't been given a squad number.....good!

I'd forgotten about him

[Deano's Mullet]

20 has been used before, Breitkreutz in 1993-94, Bryan Small in 1994-95..... theres been a few.

[Dave Cooper please]

We've retired the number 10 in memory of Andi Weimann.

As silly as it sounds I'm disappointed by the squad numbers - I want our CF wearing 9 and those likely to start wearing 1 to 11. 

Bennett retaining no 3 ??  No RB at no 2  !! 

I know it's only a shirt number, but I'm old (and grumpy) and I like things done a certain way!  At least Tonev hasn't been given a squad number!!

More like he nicked it as a trophy for fooling us for many years masquerading as a Premiership player!
