DanishBlue 426 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yeah, it would be a bit lame to earn money selling shirts with "a wrong" number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Completely missing the point. He joined the club and was given the number 14 shirt, which consequently was made official by the club selling his shirts with that specific number on the store. He then left on loan and the number was vacated. If he was never the number 14 then why did they sell his shirts with that number and not a different number.They were selling shirts with the number 14 on them because that was his number at Genk and that was the number he used during preseason. But he was never given that number or any number because only first team players get numbers and he was never one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEachran who was given a number previously was part of the pre-season tour but not included in the squad, his shirt is on the website. Hutchinson who was given a number previously was part of the pre-season tour but not included in the squad, his shirt is on the website. The same for Essien, Kakuta & KdB.Chalobah who was NOT given a number previously and was a part of the pre-season tour but not included in the squad, his shirt ISN'T on the website. If they were selling shirts based on pre-season then Chalobah's would be there to. So would Blackman's, so would Saville's.(Sorry to go to such lengths but I'm certain he was given one, + I'm bored ) Atholy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Great, just when you think you have heard the end of Schurrle is the devil forcing out De Bruyne conspiracy, this happens. Peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atholy 1,293 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 A kit # shouldn't be a big deal. i agree on that one. Although it's just a simple fact that players are very sensible as it comes to these matters.I don't know if Kevin is like that... maybe he couldn't care less?! Could well be, but maybe he does!But if Schürrle took a number that was clearly already used by another chelsea player... one could ask himself the question why?KDB have chosen #6 (or another new #) himself => all smiles and they lived happily ever after! KDB might go on loan again => #14 is free.The board/manager have chosen #14 for Schürrle => completely the wrong message towards KDB (who needs confidence)!Schürrle claimed the # himself and the board approved => this would be completely f*cked up!I would think option 1 is the most plausible. All 3 others would be very stupid IMO! All here saying his number was free... give me a break . He actually played in it (so one could actually think he have chosen it himself last summer)!

He is not a kid who cries around "mimimi...i can't have my lucky number...buhu". He knows he has to earn his place, he won't start having star affectations. He can't afford those.

When they left us on loan their numbers became 'free' but they continued to sell the shirts with the numbers. The reason Kevin's shirt is on there but not Chalobah's is simply because of popular demand. There is no rule or methodology for the kits available on the website, it is simply about selling the biggest number of kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers were once theirs, so they continued selling 12/13 shirts with those numbers, just like Kevin. Chalobah has never been given a number, neither has Courtois, Kalas, and numerous other players on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

replika83 14 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Does it actually somewhat matters which number he has? I think it only matter to KDB himself, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thendo 1,088 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 At the moment according to his wikipedia page it say that he has number 23.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_De_Bruyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moros 86 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I doubt it. The Chelsea page of wiki says he currently has no decided number and so does the official Chelsea website. Never saw anything about his number being changed to 23. So unless a more credible source of information says so, I'd better keep my doubts.
