New here, and just wondered if they were ever going to change the squad numbers, no problems with most of them, but. Numbers 2, 5, 6 are vacant. And Lauren, Toure and Campbell could fill those easily. Confused...

#6 was Tony Adams' number, you just don't bandy about a number which is so respected at this club and give it to someone like Cygan. Kolo's earnt it.
ian wright didnt retire at arsenal and adams didthey may, look at Arsenal with Ian Wright.
Ian Wright Arsenal's top goalscorer ever leaves, and then his number is given straight to Freddie Ljungberg, barely anyone knows who he is, but he has the no.8 which Wrighty made famous... on the bright side, Ljungberg came on, everyone was wondering who he was, and he scores agaisnt Man Utd.
Swordy said:The numbers 2, 5 and 6 hold about the same value as 44, 71 and 16 now, shirt numbers are irrelevant to most players now, with some opting to take a number like 17 over the chance for 8, because it's all about the squad rather than the first team, the shirts 1-11 no longer represent the first 11.
