Next Seasons Numbers?

[lane17]

Bit of a pointless post but was thinking, as we have alot of low numbers free, what players do you think will take what squad numbers this season

Skrtel 6
Masher 4
Silva (hopefully) 7
Johnson 2 (if Dossena leaves)
Insua/Aurelio/Johnson 3

???

Mascher, skrtel and insua will keep what they have, Johnson 2 and some unlucky cunt 7.

To think Uniteds last 4 number 7's are Ronaldo, Beckham, Cantona and Robson......fucking hell.

 

[Stulikesdrums]

I think Silva will take 10 if he comes.
Mascherano wears 14 for Argentina so he may want 4 if it is of significance to him (providing he's still our player!)

 

[lane17]

dont like skrtel wear 37 though, its to high he needs a change.

if voronin stays and we get silva cant wear 10

Skrtel has worn 3 before, but it thought they didn't change without good reason unless its a new kit?

And to think 7 used to be considered a special shirt for us because of Keegan and Dalglish. Its seriously gone downhill recently though. The former shirt of Kewell and Smicer is hardly going to appeal to many players.

Can't think of that many of our shirts that are still have a really good track record.
Number 9 - for every Rush or Torres there's a Cisse or Diouf
Number 8 - for every Gerrard there's a Paul Stewart
Number 10 - for every Barnes there's a Voronin

The only number we have which isn't tainted is 23. Only worn by Fowler and Carragher I think.

Only in one out of 116 seasons (probably less than that, dunno when numbers were introduced) has our number 9 failed to score a league goal.

Well done El-hadji Diouf.

I love how everyone seems to be putting silva in our lineups/numbers for next season.

Gotta love the optimism.

Yeah.. it's optimistic that we'll sign him.. and even more optimistic that he'll be any good.

(sorry to his fanboys, i just don't rate him that highly)

7 is the big one...hope its Villa...its ready made for him to walk into. But wouldnt be disappointed if Silva took it.

 

[23carragold]

Glen Johnson is number 2 on the official wesite? Dossena seems to have disapeared from the 1st team squad list?!!

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Interesting... though that said the link still works:

[SaintGeorge67]

and it's still Dossena #2 on the shop... blame Parry!

 

[The Slugmonster]

Maybe Dossena will take number 3......or maybe...........just maybe, someone will stick the pasta eating fucker in a cannon and send him back to Italy!

 

[23carragold]

you would think if that was the case they would have just changed him to 3, when the were putting johnson it at 2?? it doesnt seem like a complicated thing to do.

I hoping Juve come calling.

 

[The Slugmonster]

So the cannon it is then 8)

Hear hear, but I'm told by relatives (in Malta) who support Juve that most of their fans think he's middling to poor and are against signing him. Fingers crossed.
