Great, I make that 14 new signings due, can't wait to see our new numbers 1, 4, 8, 10, 13, 15, 20, 27, 36, 37, 39, 40, 41 and 42.

The new number 42 with be the answer to everything

An experienced impact player to bring on late in the game.

[Dazvillain]

At last...no 1 captured, now 4,6,8 and 10 to go, for starters

[Dazvillain]

They pick us up then drop us down...reported tonight that McLeish has said only 1 more signing...why didnt they utilise the 1-11 numbers in the squad more effectively...Albrighton could have had 10 etc 

[cdbearsfan]

We desperately need a superstar at number 8.

What's Robert Pires up to?

In the late 1990s, I was at Fenway Park in Boston for a game. Two guys behind me were discussing the retired numbers displayed on the roof of the right field stand. They ran thro' the numbers but got stumped at the "42".

Numpty 1 - "Why's 42 in blue but the others are in red ?"

Numpty 2 - "That's for Mo Vaughn, its ub a different color because he hasn't retired yet"




I thought that they were joking but they were being serious

This was followed by a certain Brit having to explain the story of Jackie Robinson to a pair of Americans

James Collins has been given the Number 6 shirt.

[PaulTheVillan]

Wonder how many people have had Collins 29 on their new shirts?

[Oscar Arce]

N'Zogbia has been given no. 10

[JJ-AV]

Surprised a change has happened this late. Should have given Delph or Albrighton 8.

James Collins has been given the Number 6 shirt.

Where did you see that, still 29 on the OS, mind you Zoggy not even listed yet

Cheers, suppose that makes sense as Downing was holding 6 at the original listing. On that basis, wondered if Cuellar could have had 4 as it doesn't look likely there are any more coming in now. 4 and 8 still vacant in the "first 11". Albrighton could have had 8 maybe. Anyone think we may have a couple of loan signings ?
