Seriously though..if it wasn't Kingy's choice that's a really shoddy way to treat a man who has been an incredible servant to the club.

In the states players can buy numbers from other players...I hope some similar agreement has been made here between King and Maddison and this wasn't a unilateral move by the club (which would be disrespectful).

Getting salty over a ****ing shirt number now...what is wrong with me?
 
It's clearly a nod to the coronation of KING George VI in 1937.

Duh.
 
Well, if I were to buy a replica shirt, there’s no ****ing way I would have:

Çağlar Söyüncü

On it, it looks like some ****er has bought all the dots, dashes and splodges in the world and randomly chucked it at his name.

Cost a ****ing fortune too.
 
On a vaguely related note, does anyone know why Iheanacho has the dots on either side of his name on the back of his shirt?

Yes. It's been mentioned before.

This is from the mockery:

The 21-year-old is a member of the Igbo people, an ethnic group that make up a large percentage of the population in southern Nigeria.
Iheanacho's hometown is in the state of Imo, where the population is 98 per cent Igbo.

The Igbo language, which has an estimated 24million speakers, has vowels featuring underdots, which change the pronunciation of the letter, with the jaw more open and the tongue lower in the mouth.

In Iheanacho’s case, the 'I' and 'o' within his surname include these. As a result, the correct spelling of the striker's name is Ịheanachọ.
 
No squad numbers for any of the academy players - maybe they'll be added in later. No number for Johnson either, for instance.

Andy King down at 37! Poor Kingy. Otherwise no real movers.

No number for Caglar yet - guess no work permit yet? I thought one of the new defenders would take #2 from Simpson.
Maybe that's why 4 has gone unassigned so far. Unless we retired it in Danny Drinkwater's honour
 
Can’t really gone a **** about a players squad number. Maddison is our number 10, and one we all hope will play that role for many years for us, so it would be stupid not to give home the 10 shirt. But like I said, wouldn’t give a **** if Kasper changes numbers to 666.
 
Because writing a set of rules explaining how to set squad numbers in a multi formation world as if it were still eleven men playing in a pyramid would take up too much ink?
