Who the feck cares what shirt number he will wear?!
It’s got to be no. 4 though hasn’t it? Players can get funny over this sort of sh*t. Most elite athletes are OCD and numbers always play a big part in that, I know. Being OCD if I were handed an uneven high number like 23 for example it would fry my head.

He is a top level player, can’t be having a high 20’s number anyway.

I’ve wanted this lad since before he went to Madrid, I want to see him in my fave number :drool:

Unless we are retiring the no. 4 when our seasoned legend Phil Jones retires…

They've absolutley ripped the ars* out of this one,

Took most of the excitement away and the shine off the unveiling , when was it announced we were signing him again ? over 2 weeks ago now ?

Shame because he should have been training with us by now and settling in for a potential spot for this Saturday and here we are 48 hours away before Leeds game and the announcement hasn't even been made :houllier: no way he makes the bench for Sat btw.

Even if he does what's the point, why would you sub a CB.

The club can suck the joy out of even the most exciting transfer.

Haven’t we got to register our Premier League squad (with shirt numbers) by today? The league starts tomorrow night so in one way or another we’re going to find out today.

I don't get why or how wound up people get over these things? We've signed him, all the stress and joy was in the chase. People honestly getting annoyed :lol:
I know what you mean but on the other hand the excitement is buzz killed a bit when it doesn’t culminate with a player picture in the kit. Childish but still.

Well obviously not, the transfer window doesn’t close until the end of the month.

Eh once they're signed, its all about just seeing them play. I get the kit pic and smiling photos are fun, I just don't get the almost anger from some. We know it's coming.

I would like to know when he can play, really. I was hoping the whole crew could be together by now and be ready for GW1 but it looks like quite a few people will end up missing the first match and maybe more.

It’s honestly like you toolbags care more about PR than the actual football.

Been delayed until Monday apparently because we’ve missed the registration deadline for Saturday and they want to use the extra time to sort the contract details out. herefishyfishy

So PSG had Messi sign a 35m a season contract in a matter of 4 days and already giving interviews , meanwhile e couldn't sort this out in two weeks? WTH are we doing?
A) You voted for Brexit. Citizens of EU now need a work VISA to come to Britain, and vice versa. This process takes time and relies on government officials to do work.
B) Pandemic. Raphael Varane had to quarantine away from people for a few days before he was allowed to interact with anyone
C) Medical

Leo Messi did not have to consider A or B and thus could go quickly.

If that's true... it sounds like the time someone rang an hour late because of the time zones. Bunch of overpaid clowns

Apparently they won't announce until Jones has been sold so the number four is available. That is what was meant by a previously unused number, because Jones has been a ghost for the best part of three years.

Not to mention that if anyone truly believes PSG only started working with Messi 4 days ago I’ve got a bridge to sell them.

I could do with a bridge that's approximately 486.3m in length, do you have anything like that? If so, I'll take it.

The announcement can wait as long as it is eventually done but I wonder if he can start actual training with the team today. I suspect not if he hasn't got clearance for it and hasn't been officially announce

Once again United are the embarrassment of English football. All my mates are bantering me about how many followers we're missing out on and how many retweets we could have had.

Can't even leave the house :(
