Juan Mata

[- 25 - 167]

So what?

10 wasn't the only number available.. he could of had 14, 13, etc etc etc etc.....

The fact is... egomaniac Benayoun thought he was bigger than this football club, thus.. demanded a first team number.

Don't see why it's such a big deal, it's only a number ffs. Who gives a toss.

If the club wanted it reserved for a first team player, we should have deemed it unavailable.

A wise man has said: You don't play for the number in the back, but for the name in front! ...Who cares if Mata grabs number 10 or number 27?

The fact Benayoun decided to choose 10 in the first place, tells you the type of person he is. He thought he was above this football club, and deluded himself into thinking he was worthy of a first team number.

Ferreira never 'had' to do anything, Deco & ferreira were friends.. so it was completely different.

I sense vernom and enmity

Bullshit from the boards biggest egomaniac grow kup TX

We'll sign him cause his thread doesn't have 100 pages here.

Last season a 31 year old injury prone liverpool player joined the club.

Which is why we're now after Modric.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Wow, so if you choose a number between 1-15 (?) you are egomatic person who thinks they are bigger then the club?

Term you can make up any assuritions you wants, but please base them on logical evidence, something more then a stupid number on the back of a shirt. JT has 26, and Strruidge has 23 - by your logic that aren't first team players. Oriol must think he above Roman because he was assigned the number 6.

Really...

[J.F. 1,484]

imagine if mata doesn't sign for us because benayoun doesn't want ti give him number 10

He couldn't have resisted such an offer though. if anything the blame should go to the board/those responsible for signing him.

Sturridge choose 23 due to his Michael Jordan idolisation.

JT was handed 26 by Zola, because he was always trying to 'go one better' than him in training (apparently).. thus 25/26

31 year old Benayoun left history rich Liverpool and decided he was going to walk into the first team.

Pretty, pretty please can we keep this thread for transfer news about Mata?

or so you imagin

Who gives, arguably, the most valuable squad number to a fringe player. numbers such as 1, 4, 5, 7,8,9 and 10 should be reserved for key/regular starters only imo but it's not a big deal.

guys, number don't play...players do...so it's not important at all...10, 11, 24, 54..never mind

Conveniently ignoring the "but it's not a big deal" part of my post. well done to you sir

If numbers don't matter, let's bring Zola's 25 shirt out of retirement.
