Does it really matter what number is on the back of which players shirt, except for the  ref of course. Does a player with a No3 on his shirt play the left back role better than one with a No8? It's all trivial really as long as you the player performs then what the fu** does it matter?

I really wish there was a Twitter style block option on here so that I could block miserable, joyless individuals like you.

Why block, just ignore if you don't like what I said. And I thought this was a site where people could air their views - silly me!!

Why don't we just give the players we have the numbers in sequence and then any additional signings the next number that's free? If we have 20 players, then give them 1-20. The next player would then get 21. I don't get leaving gaps, it doesn't make sense to an old foegy like me!

Also being an old fogey, it does make sense to me. At least the first 11 or 12 numbers. Keeping the numbers 7 and 9 free shows intent to sign a striker and a (wide) midfielder.

Having said that it does signal to others (competitors and potential targets) what you plan to do, so is probably not a good idea. Like having code names for operations that are linked to the operation/project (“Operation Normandy” wouldn’t have kept the Germans guessing as much as “Overlord”).


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

In the world cup in Argentina  the Argies gave out numbers in alphabetical order, Ossie Ardlillies wore no.1 playing in midfield!

There was one English team that did that when squad numbers first came out. Not too sure who it was but I think it might have been Charlton. They had a Number One playing outfield too.
