Squad Numbers

[Loylz]

Did you get this from the Arsenal shop bobbypires, .Because a while ago someone found out they were doing the van Persie shirt there, and it turned out to be right.

6 won't be filled ever because of TA. The number has been retiered.

Ive never heard of this. Looks like Cesc will get 15

Same here. I just thought they were waiting for the right perso to fill it.

well, Arsenal Shop sent me a little mag with everything I can buy. And of course the shirt is there and the numbers you can choose.

 

[Loylz]

OK. How did you get that magazine. I never got one that had Cesc with number 15.

 

[RocktheCasbah]

Well Cesc was wearing 15 yesterday

 

[Loylz]

I know, but in the maazine I have Cesc's name and number weren't written on, whereas in bobbypires' one he did have it.

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:

Now, there's a problem with that: I was hoping he'd stay longer and win more titles :wink:

 

[ozgooner]

I love Kolo, but he hasn't earn't six yet. Although great players have worn nearly every Arsenal number, Seaman 1, Wrighty 8, Merson 10, George 9, Brady 7, 6 is special and in my opinion should never be usd again.

so u dont think db is worthy of 10??

 

[ozgooner]

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?

i think 10 should should be offered to rvp after db.im pretty sure it would be an honour for rvp to wear it and it probably would be for db to see him in it.

Yeah, but he should use Ray's record as a minimum. :wink:

Just because Tony Adams is a legend doesn't mean his squad number can never be used again, that's ridiculous.

That's the same as saying when Bergkamp retires the no.10 shirt can never be worn again.

Of course the no.6 shirt should be passed on, it's just a case of finding the right person. I think in a couple years Toure will have earnt it, as Sol wants to keep the 23 shirt. Not sure if that's because it adds up to 5 or because it was Michael Jordan's number, but either way, it frees up the 5 and 6 shirts to be passed on to someone worthy. Maybe Senderos could earn the 5 shirt in a couple years, if he lives up to expectations.

Noooo, it isn't in my mag. But he played with that number and Wenger said he gave Razor's number.

The guy led us to titles in 3 different decades, no other captain has ever done that!!
The guy is special. Like i've said before, he is Mr. Arsenal.

Also when you were talking about sol, you reminded me of ivan zamarano. How childish is he?? he couldn't number 9 at inter so he asked for 1+8 on the back.

 

[Arnie]

No other player should have their number retired!!

 

[Arnie]

personally i'm not all that fussed about squad numbers

Still, I think Tony would have wanted someone to follow in his footsteps as the no.6. Other legends of other teams have passed on their numbers to younger generations. Bryan Robson at Man Utd passed on the 7 shirt to Cantona, who passed it on to Beckham.

About Zamorano, I dont think its childish really as he was a number 9 and he did deserve the shirt in some way, so 18 was the next best thing. A lot of players do that these days. Look at Bentley and 37, Gerrard and 17 (now 8 ) etc.

 

[Denish]

But yeah, I'm not that fussed either 8)

I remember seeing that somewhere. Did he have 18 or 1+8 because I was told previously he had 1+8.
