So Bruno has moved to his favored #8. With the current departures here are the key squad numbers open. #3 and #4 could also open if Bailly and Jones move on.

What's everyone's thoughts on what Martinez and Eriksen will take?

6
11 (Greenwood - not sure if he'll see the pitch for us again)
13
14
15
18
21 - Assume we'll hold this in hopes of FDJ
24

Eriksen has played with 23 alot and was 24 at Inter. I assume he'll take 24 here.

FM says 11 is Sancho's favourite though I always saw him as a #7. Either way, he should take one of those this year, but you'd think that would have been done already if it was going to happen. Not sure if Ronaldo is sold, when the deadline to switch him is.

Eriksen should be 18. Martinez probably 6.

Apparently Sancho has it written into his contract that he gets number 7 when it becomes available.

Garner for 6
Martinez for 15
Malacia for 3
Erikson for 24 (if he wants) or 14.

I really don't care who wear what until we don't sort Lindelof and Bailly numbers. I mean wtf, give them 54 and 55, can't stand them wearing full back numbers.

It’s completely irrational and childish, but our squad numbers boil my piss.

It’s good to see the likes of Bruno not being a drip and actually seeking out proper numbers.

Martínez #6

de Jong #21
Antony #11 if we get him
Sancho #7 if Ronaldo leaves before the PL starts

Ronaldo hopefully #0
Maguire #10

Thoughts and prayers to all the folk who have bought their kids the new tops, with potentially old numbers.

On a side note, wonder how the Ronaldo Merch is selling.

They shouldn’t spoil their kids so much, so feck ‘em. At least they’ll be safe in the knowledge that their kids size is likely to be larger than that for Martinez.
