There are several players in the list who are likely to move on and free up a squad number, and there are any number of reasons why Pod might want to wait and see.<br /><br />And this is just a list of numbers. There's nothing to get in a flap over till they submit the squad lists to the Premier League and UEFA.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11450448142365648155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104587254695153703.post-37839551567299155252012-07-25T23:36:38.724-07:002012-07-25T23:36:38.724-07:00So disapointed with the Lansbury situation.

Santos got 11 because it was the only number really free at the time (and he can play LW, of course), so now he's stuck with it until he leaves. <br /><br />Only when reserves move into the seniors to they get lower numbers (Toure and Senderos taking the 5 & 6 shirts, Fabregas moving from 57 to 4, Coquelin etc.) Or sometimes a player can make a special request for a specific number (the departure of Gallas allowed RvP to shift from 11 to 10 and Carlos Vela from 12 to 11, and of course Bendtner switched to his lucky 52 shirt). But this only happens when a) a player asks to change, and b) a number is freed up by a transfer.<br /><br />So yes, this means we have a right back with a left back's number, a midfielder with a right back's number, a left back with a winger's number etc. etc.<br /><br />Yes, it's a bit odd, and it's no crime pointing out the silliness of it all!<br /><br />I'm not unhappy that the number 9 shirt has gone to Park - considering that the number seems to be cursed (Suker, Jeffers, Reyes, Baptista, Eduardo), it's perhaps wise that we keep this number away from anyone decent!Ryan Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625711911863140868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104587254695153703.post-10753100050183497522012-07-25T15:05:37.737-07:002012-07-25T15:05:37.737-07:00City on Friday?
