Go CJ.

I can't find anything on this. On Wikipedia, his profile states 24, whilst the Chelsea page states 27!

I was expecting this sort of news to be put forward on the official site but I can't find anything on that either :thumbsdown:

i dont care what number he is he's freakin sexy!

[Term-X 7,891]

number 4 would have been more suitable.

if we want him to become a first team player eventually..

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I don't think the number he takes will affect his first team chances, mate.

[Term-X 7,891]

actually.. some players respond well to having a first team number

cristiano ronaldo for example being given the number 7 when he was a nobody

unless you have a character reference you can never claim otherwise.

I don't really care about his number, just that if he has the talent to fight for a first team postion, wouold love to see a player younger then 25 on the team sheet for once (except Mikel)

John Terry never complained about being number 26...

I couldn't imagine JT having any other number at Chelsea.

[Siawash 0]

Chelsea site states he's #24.

not everyone is the same

anyway there is a story behind his number 26 with the whole zola thing

[BlueLion. 21,491]

There might be a story with Matic taking number 24, like Anelka's 39
