Tunchev being given a squad number is quite positive, however it's not a normal number for a centre-back.

Do you reckon that DJ's is a self-chosen number?

Numbers based on positions are long gone. We have personal phones nowadays too, that don't need to be plugged in. We call them mobile phones.
We also have machines called computers, but I won't go into detail about them yet, I'll let you get used to squad numbers and mobile phones first

But when 6 is available, you would generally expect a centre-back to get that.

No I wouldn't, whatever made you think that?
I would never give it a second thought, not even a first one actually.

but 3 is the magic number

I used to be a centre-back and every season me and my friend (another centre-back) used to fight for the number 6.

And with the "possible" exception of number 10 (generally either a striker or midfielder), every other number in the first eleven would fit with position.

Andy King is being played out of position and Fryatt is just a gonna be warming the bench.

SOUSA OUT!!! He's obviously an idiot

 

[reality fox]

No number for Crncic.

also does this mean there will be no more new signings?

 

[Jeff]

No number for Crncic.

No number for Heskey either.

They've probably decided it's a good idea to wait until players have signed for us before giving them a squad number.

Traditional squad numbers are different in different countries as tactics developed slightly differently.

i.e. from the old 2-3-5 formation when numbers went 2-11 going from right to left in defence, then right to left in midfield etc. Then the 2 defenders moved out wide so 2 and 3 became modern day full backs while the half backs . The inside forward moved back into midfield hence why 8 and 10 are midfield etc. etc. In other countries the formations and tactics developed differently so the squad numbers are slightly different.

Maybe #3 is just more traditional as a centre back to Sousa. I know Pique at Barca is a centre back with #3 for example.

Wasn't Tunch 3 before?

Has anyone really changed? All looks about the same to me. Only 'suprise' is how high DJ's number is.

No, he's been #5 for the past 2 seasons. Gallagher, Tunch and DJ are the only ones who's changed at first glance.

 

[lanxfox jnr]

Sorted out the number i'm getting on my shirt

 

[manxfox]

No Numbers for Joey, Tommy Wright or Billy Sh!tpants - Whats going on!!!

Leicester used a highly technical way to work out their numbering: they used Football Manager - it says on there that his favourite shirt number is 3.

Luke O'Neill not been given a number I see.

Probably going out on loan for the season. Or the manager just thinks he's crap.

 

[Hazzman]

Just realised he hasn't been involved all pre-season. Wonder whether it's an injury.
