I would imagine because he has deluded himself into thinking he will start games. Demanding the world famous number 10 shirt in football history and tradition was an indication, but his additude towards liverpool is another. He is talking shit about his previous club because he didn't start enough games, so he's arrived here and requested a first team number. Letting us all know how he treats the clubs that don't play him and treat him like the number 10 god almighty that he is.
