New Squad Numbers


Matthew Le God

Recommended Posts

Nothing official yet. But you can see from the Switzerland tour there seem to be a few changes on their training gear as you would expect with squad numbers.

 

From what squad numbers you can see in the videos/photos...

 

Kelvin Davis 1

Dan Harding 3 (he was 2 last season)

Morgan Schneiderlin 4 (he was 19 last season)

Radhi Jaidi - 5 (he was 6 last season)

Jose Fonte - 6 (he was 12 last season)

Rickie Lambert 7

Lee Barnard 9 (he was 17 last season)

Jason Puncheon 10 (he was 4 last season)

Dean Hammond 14

Paul Wotton 16 (he was 10 last season)

Joseph Mills 18

Adam Lallana - 20

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 26 (he was 41 last season)

 

Anyone else spot some I have missed?

Are you sure they're not just random. I know having a distinctly average holding midfielder as #10 makes no sense, but even so I didn't expect him to give the number up.

 

Those numbers would make sense though. #8 not taken by anyone... Danns anyone? ;)

Those number changes do all make sense, so I think they are as they will be for the season. I doubt Wotton had much of a say in the matter if told by Pardew that the 10 goes to Puncheon. Wotton is a squad player, Puncheon is a starter.

 

Richardson must be 2, but haven't seen that in any video/photo yet.

 

Interesting to see who gets 8 and 11.

 

Holmes or Dickson may get 11 as Lallana is sticking with 20. A new central midfielder for number 8?

Not surprised Pardew is taking the opportunity to change some numbers about. He is not daft and realises his star players will all have their preferences so he will want to accommodate them where he can. The job has becomes a bit easier this season as we renew both kits which will mean no shirts handed back by fans as their favourite player has changed their number. The club have always held back changing too many numbers in the past because of this.

Not clear but it looks like Seaborne is 19 (previously 35) and Connolly is 22 (from 38 ).

 

Can't see Lee Holmes giving up the no. 11 shirt either

Hammond -No 14

 

Holmes - No 21

 

from here: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2090490,00.html

 

So we are still missing candidates for Nos 8 and 11.

 

Hopefully these are being saved for our two biggest signings this close season!

 

That looks promising on 2 counts. Firstly it would appear we're getting in another winger if 11 is free. Secondly Holmes has been given Pulis' number, implying he hasn't activated an extension cause of some sort in his contract.

Good calls. Especially the 2nd!!! :)

Maybe these numbers in Switzerland have no bearing on the numbers that they'll actually be wearing and just random numbers...would be a shame (not only because of the song) if Rickie doesn't get to keep 7 especially seeing as though I've just got Lambert 7 on the back of my new shirt as I bet a number of others will have !

Is this a serious post?

on the OS on player profiles, rickie lambert does not have a number, seems pretty likely that lambert will not be No.7

 

Feel sorry for those with Lambert 7 on the back of their shirt if he changes his number.

 

We will also have to think of another line to replace 'He wears the shirt of Matt Le Tiss'.

I would think the club would be obliged to change those shirts if that was the case.

Why do only 4 of our players have numbers on the player profiles part of the OS?

 

It's only Davis 1, Punch 4, Jaidi 6 and Holmes 11? Are all the others changing? I'd be surprised!

 

None of our players have squad numbers on the "Players profiles" page now! New squad numbers are imminent me thinks!

Last year it was on the 23rd I think. This year the 23rd happens to be on a Friday too, so that lends extra weight. 11:23pm on Friday... watch out.

Was in the Saints shop today and the guy offered me a closer look a printed away shirt as he said said they were too plain without numbers. Anyhoo the shirt he showed me was printed with Harding 22. I know it wasn't necessarily a player issue shirt but it did have me wondering if Dickson is going to be given number 3.

You may be able to get a few hints from training photos re squad numbers, however saints players have always worn random number training shirts shorts & bibs for as long as I can remember.

 

So likewise there could be nothing in them at all I.e oxlade chamberlain wearing 7!
