Saint Charlie Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Always good for your no 1 to be the third choice keeper But it doesn't mean a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 No number 5 or 7 then... Or 20. Or 13, 14, 15. If we fill those slots and lose no others, things will look a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 So basically, everyone's the same number as last season, with Tadic 11, Pelle 19, Bertrand 21 (bit of a surprise that), Sharp 30, Targett 33 and that's basically it. Blanks at 5, 7, 13, 14, 15, 17, 20, 22, 23, 42, and 45 and above. Must say I preferred it when I could pretend the likes of Dean Hammond, Tadanari Lee, Johnno Forte and Billy Sharp's numbers were being "protected" without actually naming them. No-one has taken over any of the numbers of the transferred players, in bold above (for some reason). Bertrand's jumped in Guly's grave not Shaw's.

Saint Charlie Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Schelotto was 7 at Inter at first. Would rather they rested it for a year than have someone average in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityRanger Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Schelotto was 7 at Inter at first. Would rather they rested it for a year than have someone average in it. I remember when we gave the 7 shirt to Kanchelskis. An absolute travesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Shame Rojo wore 16 at the World Cup and not the 17 he's previously worn for Argentina. I'm sure he'd settle for 7 though. 13 is a good solid keeper number (in England, at least), though Forster was 22 at the World Cup (not that he'll have particularly fond memories of it). Taider wore 19 for Algeria but Pelle's beaten him to it, and 21 for Inter (Bertrand got there first). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Ok good I didn't just dream it then Swindon are trying to get Turnbull and Stephens, they had the latter last season. Given our lack of cover at RB now, I'd imagine either Stephens or McCarthy(?) would cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 I'm guessing we've either retired the number 7 shirt (which would be ridiculous as much as I like Rickie, we didn't do it for MLT so why would we do it for him?) or, the more likely, we've got a new signing lined up to be number 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely for me that we just don't think we've got anyone "worthy" at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarrettIvo Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 I'd like to think the announcement of the squad numbers, highlighting the current vacancies, is some sort of nod to a few incomings who will fill those gaps. But then I'm used to being disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the first year that the Football League adopted squad numbers in the early-to-mid-90s, Charlton assigned their squad numbers alphabetically as well. One of their centre-backs had the number 1 shirt, which was pretty weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We surely have someone arriving worthy of wearing the Number 7 I think generally it's assumed that we'll only be allocating squad numbers to people we'll actually be signing, so maybe assume people think we'll be signing someone if they discuss what squad number we'll be giving them...
