he can take gray with him n all!!!

Bellamy will be numero 9.

Dickie will take him if he takes his number.

i thought kuqi would get the number 9?

just wanted to know if any of the members on here were coming down to sunny wales?

the atmosphere should be well good, new stadium looks good, just a bit white thats all and the build up to the game should be a right laugh because there are some well nice bars on the way to the ground

bellamy will get the number 10 or number 8(what he wears for wales) i imagine, dickov will lose his number hopefully, because tugay is number 8!!

bellamy wot class we got up front now!!

so excited!!

pace up front!!

are the squad number for the new season released at the end of july??

i lilly play for wales on many occassions!!

best player on the park by a mile!!

wen he's fit, he is good, my bet for fans player of the season 2005/06

That's rubbish, He's not as quick as he used to be. But he'd walk into any team outside the top 4.

He's still a class act. I think it's harsh to say he's past it. He won't allow himself to be past it, he'll retire before that happens.

still a class act big al!!

Lee is right. 4 is a holding midfielder, 8 is an attacking midfielder, 5 and 6 are centre halves and 7 is a right winger.

number 7 has always been used in most sides. i find now though that some of the world class strikers are using the number 7, i.e. Raul, Shevchenko and the old enemy Cantona to name a couple!!

Isn't # 6 being saved for Tugay's invisible friend.  Well done jim, spot on with the positions.

where did you get this info then? sky sports?

Couldn't you just buy the shirt and get the number on later?  Or is that too simple?

326994[/snapback]

yeah i agree if you live locally, but say you don't, and you havn't got a decent sports shop by you that sells the gear, you have to buy by mail or the tinternet and you really want to buy it all at the same time.

i hope you understand what i am trying to say

Yes, yes it is. He looks like an idiot. Just like Tugay looked pretty daft in that number 3 shirt.

Anyway, its too early in the summer to be talking about squad numbers (as if they're that imprtant in any case).

326880[/snapback]

i wouldn't say that mate, you buy a new shirt, get the name and number of your favorite player on the back and a week later he's off packing his bags to another club or he's been given a new number for the new season and it makes you look a fool

i beleve a few seasons ago at coventry, i cant remember his name but he was a popular player with the fans and he changed his number to number 10 and he offered to pay for everyone who bought his ###### with the previous number a replacement.

he keeping his cards close, dont think i heard any comments off hughsey in the post season. JW does all the talking

I wasn't.  I didnt notice.

Merely pointing out that Squad numbers will change with or without new signings....

326564[/snapback]

thats rite b'coz players have personal preferences like i have to have the number 10 shirt!!

fairplay we should have a well good start to the season!!

hoping we get at least 4 wins from the first 6 games otherwise the lads are having a laugh if they think we are going to have a decent season!!

west ham away should be the start of pardews downfall to be the first prem manager fired of the season

Number 9 player 9.99999999999999999999999999/10 is wore by a striker.

326490[/snapback]

explain why baros wheres number 5 for liverpool then when he's a forward and surley the number 5 is a defensive number eh???

is just because baros is a ****

maybe m.g.p fancies the number 9 shirt, doubt he's happy with number 12!!

isn't 11 available tho since babbel left?

Kuqi will be our next number 9

326424[/snapback]

i so hope not, benni or carew!!

we brought this disscussion up around this time last year because i remember going wild when dickov robbed jansens number 10 shirt!!

i thought they were having a laugh!!

maybe he will get it back this year

with stead, johannson and short leaving, numbers are available.

i imagine with some new faces on their way, likley a striker, he will take the vacant number 9 shirt!!

anyone have any ideas when the the squad numbers are released?

i think lilly savage will probably want a different number but he wont take tugays number 8!!

swansea is about 40miles from me, ive been to their new stadium, its alright just a bit white!!

i mean everything is just painted swan white, not much imagination!!
