He'll probably beat that in one season
Erm.. The Number 7 shirt..
- Thread starter LawCharltonBest
- Start date
I second this
Even more depressing is that we would probably be on 25-28 league titles and 7 CLs if he didn't leave
Less of that. This is a player that runs his bollocks off every game and for the most part, was very good for us last season. He'll still play a massive part this season.
Nice post, I’ll refrain myself from certain choice of wording. But good one there.
Our last true No7 has returned.
Give Cavani the No9 shirt, Martial can feck off.

ooh thanks
When is the last date to confirm numbers? Obvious solution cavani 9, cr7 and martial can take any left over as don’t see him starting anytime soon.
He was good at the end of the season but if he’d rather visit family and play for Uruguay than play for us for the first third of the season then he’s not much use really is he. He wasn’t great either until around March so perhaps we won’t be missing much until then anyway.
Yes that's why he resigned here for another year despite having planned to leave after last season. Enough with this poisonous reactionary bullshit.
I like your thinking!21, the RVP approach
Cavani will give up number 7
This is exciting as hell even if he is geriatric at this point. Hope he can help us get the PL.

Balls!
First Martial, now feck Cavani, who is next
Cavani better know his place and hand that #7 over 
Good, I guess. No reuse of those old Ronaldo #7 shirt. Need those shirt sale to pay for the transfer
Special dispensation for a special circumstance. Edi can take 16, tell him he’s the new Roy Keane, he’ll like that.
It’s in the PL brand’s interest in allowing it.
You would think the PL board might consider how good the CR7 brand is for their league when weighing up that dispensation.
I know it doesn't really matter, but it will be a shame to see Ronaldo denied the 7 shirt. Especially for someone who is sitting at home and missing the first games of the season while United are crying out for a striker
PL board better not screw up
Will be 28 or 17 most likely
28 was his Number in Sporting and the number he wanted at United when he first joined
17 was his number for the NT before 7

Exactly.
Fred wears 17.
12, 15, 24, 28 & ironically, 30, the number Messi has taken at PSG, are free.
We could just give him 77? If Trent can be 66 then CR can be 77.
So you don't count Owen and Depay as 7 legend??
The French FA allowed Messi to do it.
English FA should back this too.
English FA should back this too.
Give Cavani 9, and Martial can be 99 or any random number for all I care
If PL grants special exceptions to this rule wouldn't this be the perfect time to invoke it if Cavani's OK with giving it up? (and apparently he is)
Will they give refunds to people who purchased Cavani shirts?
Mateo Meija is very attached to his number 77 shirt, so that’s a no go

Just change the rule, its CR7.
Maybe Phil Jones will give up his shirt?
Can Ronaldo have the shirt number R7?
Can Ronaldo have the shirt number R7?
this is how I'm feeling
I like the guy and to be fair to him, he's been good, but this is fecking Ronaldo we're talking aboutMaybe Ronaldo can wear the 7 shirt with Cavani's name on it. That would be a nice loophole.
Or maybe we could "sell" Cavani to an affiliate club, give Ronaldo the number 7, and resign Cavani the next day.
