Blueman 57 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 If you look at our squad numbers you will find that we have free significant vacant shirt numbers. These numbers have come to represent player roles and their importance in the world of football. Number 4 being the talented central midfielder, number 7 as the playmaker or second striker and number 9 the main goal threat. So my question is who would you like to wear these shirts in the near future? My picks are, 9:Sergio Aguero or David Villa 7:Frank Ribery 4:David Silva .P.S: Just forget for a moment that the number 7 curse exists.

terry26 6 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Well the 9 shirt is currently taken by Franco Di Santo - so I would like to see him occupy it for quite some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus 8 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 di santo's done nothing at blackburn ^number 9 should be given to borini or kakuta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 di santo's done nothing at blackburn ^number 9 should be given to borini or kakutaThats a bit harsh, especially considering you would give it to either Borini or Kakuta who have done less here.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I wouldn't be surprised if Alex didn't change to the number 4 actually; that was his number at PSV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I wouldn't be surprised if Alex didn't change to the number 4 actually; that was his number at PSV.Either that or keep 33, I think that's quite a unique number to give to a first team defender.

We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Numbers don't really matter in modern day football. They no longer represent a players position in the squad, so it doesn't really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueman 57 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 4. matic7. kakuta9. boriniWell that's a good idea but I think these numbers should be given to established players.I wouldn't be surprised if Alex didn't change to the number 4 actually; that was his number at PSV.I don't know why but I just like the number 33 on Alex.Numbers don't really matter in modern day football. They no longer represent a players position in the squad, so it doesn't really matter.Well if it didn't matter then why do Ronaldo and Torres wear the number 9 and kaka and lampard the number 8 and Villa and Sheva the number 7.

Blueman 57 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Well the 9 shirt is currently taken by Franco Di Santo - so I would like to see him occupy it for quite some time Franco is just not good enough. He is less of a goal threat than Sturridge, Kakuta and Borini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Well if it didn't matter then why do Ronaldo and Torres wear the number 9 and kaka and lampard the number 8 and Villa and Sheva (He done FANTASTIC) the number 7.And Terry 26 and Zola/Adebayor 25 and Ronaldinho 80 and Henry 14 and so on....Yeah there's some players that still believe that these numbers mean something but it has become more and more meaningless and will continue to do so. I don't believe that the number a player wears will effect his game in the slightest it's just a number, it really does not matter who gets what.

Term-X 7,891 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 In the past I believe it would have, but not any more.Messi was number 30 but changed it to the number 10, because numbers are important to the modern day player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
