Candidate for Shirt #10 next season?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

#8 and #26 should be retired when both of them leaves the club IMO

Agree about retiring #26, but you can't retire a shirt between 1-11 for me. I know there are examples, but they are frontline squad numbers.

I liked it when we only numbered 2 to 11 .. we could always follow the old Leicester Rugby system and use letters .. Personally since our owner is Roman

I think we should use Roman numerals and the sexiest player should get a X... JT would be V

don't retire 1-11, give players incentive to pick ugly numbers if they want their numbers retired

Torres 69??

Baresi & Maldini (milan) Fachetti (inter) are the only retired frontline numbers I could think of at the top flight. The common denominator of being serie A sideaside, those players are at the very top of Mount rushmore historically (can't say the same for lamaprd has great has he's been for us) so it's very understandable.

Hazard. He's the king now. He calls the shots around the Bridge, He's our Ronaldo at the minute.

Your geography is fucked up ,,, Serie A very over rated and Mount Rushmore has Presidents ,, not always the best of men or politicians ,, Lampard is English

and Chelsea thats why we like him ,, PLEASE show SOME respect and at least get his name right ,

You still make absolutely no sense to me and you never have. 90% of your post consist of poor witted responses and gibberish that usually bare absolutely no relevance to the post you are responding to. The other 10 % is just you bragging about how much of an old ass fool you are and how that makes you the ultimate voice and authority on anything Chelsea related.

I can't take the blame for your ignorance or lack of education or intelligence ,,, GOOD night

I dont like this whole retire a certain number thing!

It's is ultimately not a part of football and I dont believe players like Terry, Lampard, Zola, Osgood, etc, would mean any less to the fans if their shirt numbers werent retired...

Anyways, just my two cents.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Lampard's number should be retired. He is the greatest player in the history of the club, if numbers are retired, his should be. Retiring a number is a tribute to the player and not only to those who have picked a number over 11. You either do retire numbers or not, but only retiring numbers greater than 11 is half-assed.

I don't mean this in a sarcastic way, but what do you mean by putting that there?

That numbers matter to football supporters. It's silly but a lot of the things associated with the game are.

The number 10 shirt is a prestige shirt and it should go to someone like Hazard if you have a player like him in the team.

Number 26 will probably be left vacant (we don't really retire numbers) for a while like the 25, but number 8 will be reallocated once Frank leaves/retires.

Loftus-Cheek maybe a few years down the line.

Chalobah is more of a number 4.
