Surely, the shirt would have been used to explain Sancho's struggles...
(he was meant to carry it, if you have forgotten).

Antony played as no. 11 at Ajax so he'd probably rather wait for that one. We know Sancho wanted the 7 though, like Fernandes wanted the 8.My guess is Ole promised it to Sancho. I think it will go to Antony at start of next season.
Bit weird that we could end up having a number 11 as right wing and 7 on left wing when them numbers are normally associated with the opposite wings.Antony played as no. 11 at Ajax so he'd probably rather wait for that one. We know Sancho wanted the 7 though, like Fernandes wanted the 8.
Yeah but wingers are inverted now though so theres a certain logic to it.Bit weird that we could end up having a number 11 as right wing and 7 on left wing when them numbers are normally associated with the opposite wings.
I had to look that up as I thought he got 9 or 10 goals but you're right. His first season was pretty good.Cavani scored 17 goals wearing it in 20/21 and Ronaldo scored 24 last season. Hardly bad numbers.
Any player who wants it must earn it by being the best performing player in 3 seasons straight. And that shirt will come with a double in salary, no matter how much you are earning already.Hang it up in the dressing room and challenge the players to earn it.
It’s weird how this thread hasn’t archived properly for normal users. Using my handy Scout tools I can see a few earlier pages. The original OP was this…
By those criteria, De Gea would be wearing the shirt right now.Any player who wants it must earn it by being the best performing player in 3 seasons straight. And that shirt will come with a double in salary, no matter how much you are earning already.
Very typical of us to swoop in and "rescue" Eden Hazard from Real Madrid.Don’t rush in just handing it out. It might not even be given to a player we already have. I reckon if Ronaldo goes then we’re going to sign a big name superstar next season.
Hope not I’m thinking more of an mbappe type. I can actually see that happening if we was really interested in him and he fancied a move to the prem… could finally settle the debate Mbappe vs Haaland in the best league in the world.Very typical of us to swoop in and "rescue" Eden Hazard from Real Madrid.
Ironically Ronaldo was our player of the season last season before the disaster struck!The curse on the number 7 shirt is so strong that even Ronaldo himself turns out to be a disaster.
I'd prefer to keep it vacant for a few years now and only give it to a player who's earned it with a Player of the Year season or two for us under his belt at least. Not given right away to some big new signing, or Sancho / Garnacho when they don't deserve it yet.
Even the suggestion of wearing it now turns the player into a cu^tBecoming a bit of a "poisoned chalice" isn't it?
Surely the next time we assign it, we have to get it correct. Putting it on established stars hasn't worked.
I'd love to see us give it to Mason Greenwood personally. Youth product too. Beckham and Ronaldo got it when still wet behind the ears, and it worked okay.
No rush. Use it as a tactic to motivate our players instead:Antony or Garnacho, but I think it’ll be a couple of years before anyone gets it

Nah. Give it to Donny. He cant get any worse.Antony or Garnacho, but I think it’ll be a couple of years before anyone gets it
So, you suggest that Ronaldo made that interview because of his shirt?This shirt is cursed ever since Ronaldo wore it the first time. Now even he can't wear it without it blowing up in his face. Retire this thing and be done with it.
