SEMTEX Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Nobby's number change? not cool. Big sam is gonna phase him out bigstyle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 The fact he's not number 6 suggests to me a major centre-back is on his way though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Monkey Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 The irony of that big pile of donkey shite having shirt 23 still makes me chuckle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guinness Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 The fact he's not number 6 suggests to me a major centre-back is on his way though. What I was thinking, also relieved to see the number 3 available. I know he's publicly stated the pressing need for a left back, but I'd have been concerned if it was given to Babayaro this season.

AlanSkÃrare Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Harper has always been 13, hasn't he? Was 12 last season I think. Changed from 13 to 12 when Andy Griffin changed from 12 to 2 in his last season for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Harper has always been 13, hasn't he? Was 12 last season I think. Changed from 13 to 12 when Andy Griffin changed from 12 to 2 in his last season for us. yeah exactly... some very odd changes I must say Why Nobby would suddenly revert back? I'm sure he has first choice to keep his own number.... and Harps going back and forth... footballers have too much time I guess. :idiot2: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Boy Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Seems strange that Rozenhal gets the number 4 while the 6 is left vacant. Maybe squad numbers dont mean too much anymore but if Taylor is to be captain and the 6 is saved for a new CB then if I was him I would be expecting to start on the bench.

Guest Ridzuan Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I dont like the fact that Mark Viduka is being given the number 36,even though I think it will not affect his performance on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
