Squad Numbers

[gooner3]

whats wrong with the numbers the way they are

 

[Swordy]

Still, strikers don't wear #2 and centre backs don't wear #9

Kallon of Inter Milan wears no. 3 and I believe he is a striker

 

[thierrys_girl]

I've never heard any statement from the club to the effect that the number six had been retured?

i dont think it has been retired :wink:

I would like some proof please.. :?:

It definately hasn't been retired OTIL, they are just waiting for someone to come along worth of wearing it.

baros is number 5

 

[seanconvey66]

Zidane 5

When or if we sign a 1st choice centre back they will be given the number if they want it. I remember reading somewhere that Gilberto was offered the number 6 shirt when he joined but declined it. It was in the programme or something. Definetely somewhere reliable.

 

[gooner3]

does anyone know if fabregas wil have fabregas or cesc on the back for his shirt liike he does for spain next seaon

 

[asajoseph]

Complete irrelevance, but I always used to wear no.1 for my school team, and I was a striker...

 

[Irish_Gunner]

I think Sol would be worthy of No. 6 but probably won't take it. Whilst we are on the subject, who do you think will get the No. 10 when Dennis retires?

Well it's a special enough number to be retired like 2 and 6 have been, but to be honest I don't like the idea of retiring shirt numbers. Let new legends wear them I say. It would take someone special to get the number 10 though. I hope Bentley gets it and can become the next DB10, in every sense of the word.

 

[shaz]

we dont want anyone to take keowns number either. that **** is the stuff of legends.. we cant pass it on to any old newcomer. :roll:

 

[Swordy]

Keown's Shirt was passed on, he used to wear number 14, before Henry came to the club. Then took over number 5. Kinda like Merson and Bergkamp.

 

[calvinngai88]

Campbell is worthy for no.6 shirt if he is offered by the club. But I think he might stick with his no.23 as he chose it and he idolises Tony Adams. Kolo might get a go for no.5

 

[kronik]

I wonder who'll be given number 11.

 

[Arsenal1989]

Van Persie most probely, Number 6 shouldnt be given to anyone its retired along with Mr Arsenal

 

[kronik]

Any update on squad numbers? They should have been released by now.

 

[Mark]

Any day now I suspect. Although they probably already have been done. Expect Arsenal.com to tell us what they are by Christmas if we're lucky.

 

[Loylz]

Now that's giving the website a little too much credit.

I like the thought of Fabregas playing with Razor's old number, hopefully he will stay for as long as Ray did and win as many titles. :wink:
