Juan Cuadrado

I like it, it's different.

It's small-time, Milan lost their tradition when they did it, it became a 'trend', players saw themselves as centre of the universe so the 1-11 hierarchy was scrapped. The number 10, the number 11 etc.. should be a rewards/a status, like it was for Hazard.

If it makes him more confident and performs better, why bother?

Numbers can't perform miracles.

1-11 is a club controlled hierarchy, Hazard was awarded 10. We're not even sure if Premier League rules permit a number that high anyway, and if he doesn't flop.. he'll probably take Didier's 11 shirt next season, but still.

I agree. I don't like players choosing ridiculous numbers but I wouldn't say it exactly makes us look small time, just makes him look like a bellend.

But I think you're right, next season when the Drog moves to a coaching role I reckon he'll take over the no.11, so he just picked a ridiculous number seeing as he was only going to have it for 5months; make sure he sticks out to make an impression and all that.

[Jase 43,479]

Taking the number 74 is odd but not sure what's the fuss about really.

I'm not even sure Shirley is leaving - is a shame he's leaving,

Clutching at straws there, Barbara..

it missed an 'if' in the second part.

I mean I don't know because I haven't been following any transfer saga (as usual) not Schurrle's, Salah's, Costa's or Cuadrado's.

I came here after I saw an article on the OP saying we agreed to terms...

If Schurrle leaves, it won't actually have much of an impact... he's been MIA for a long time and while I still defend we should keep a player of his profile, it's nearly indifferent if he stays or leaves.

Who said miracles? But I would expect you to know that for certain players having specific number means alot, and they play with more confidence wearing that number...

Maybe so but wouldn't dismiss him so easily just because he's going through a rough patch now. We all know what he can do and offer the team when he's on form or at least not enduring a rough patch. But oh well.

That makes us look so small-time, he's on an ego trip picking such an obscure number to stand out from the rest.

Term-X is on a ego trip, writing such an obscure post to stand out from the rest.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

For info biggest number in PL was worn by Pozo from city (#78) in 2014.

Apparently new rules in EPL allow numbers from 1-99

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,742]

He'll be 74 for, at most, 4 or so months. 11 will be his if he shows what he did in Brazil

[The Mak 4,459]

Everything about this transfer has annoyed me so far, so I'm not surprised he's gone and picked 70-fucking-4. Obviously. Duh. What else would he pick.

I'm guessing it's just temporary anyway. Drogba will most likely go into a coaching role next season leaving the number 11 up for grabs. Oscar has the number 8 now so doubt he'll want it.

You are one funny motherfucker. Haha, nice jokes.

[Spike 12,049]

Image if he picked 75?!??!?!? Hahaha, would the madman would actually do it to!

[Spike 12,049]

I'm glad he didn't pick 75 though. That is entirely inapropriate. I would have been offended.
