4, 5, 16, 18 & 19 all going spare!

[Rory]

Have they said what number he'll be wearing?

Does it matter?

Don't mean that in an aggressive way, just wondering if people have a preference, because it's never something that occurs to me.

No it doesn't matter, it just seemed odd that you can win a shirt with his name and number on but they hadn't said what he was going to have.

I hadn't thought about that!

[GordonCowansisthegreatest]

Maybe Marvelous will swap numbers so that he can have the 11 shirt!

I guess sometimes it indicates something about what the player thinks of themselves. I was reading an interview with Anthony Martial recently where he talked about the subtle change in mentality involved in getting the no. 9 back.

Interesting. Wasn't Harewood our number 9 one season?

So did that other legend, Stephen Ireland

Welcome to Aston Villa Ollie.

[Ad@m]

We really have had some absolute dross wearing the number 9 shirt haven't we.

[john e]

in the interests of someone scrolling back through the thread in the years to come to see what we all thought of the signing

I'm feeling chuffed about it
and I don't give two hoots about what we paid

Pick a number...any number

Welcome Ollie. Hopefully we’ll get to see you play in the flesh at Villa Park sometime over the next five years.

How long before we see Petrov interviewing him for AVTV? My money's on before the end of the month.
