Who'll take 7 & 8

[Nolan]

Two pretty big unallocated shirt numbers. 

To pass the time. 

Who'll get the 7 and 8 numbers this season?

[CSA96]

The Charles replacement will take the 8, Scienza might move to 7 if there’s clarity on his future unless there’s an attachment to 13 I’m unaware of 

[Toadhall Saint]

A person and an other? Not sure who will get what number though 😉

[WinglessWonder]

Can we please have an exciting, creative game changer at #7 this time round? With the greatest respect to aribo he wasn't any of these things!

Something to do with a birthday - his or his Dad or something. Can't quite remember.

Ah yeah, he was born on Sept 13th so he chose that number when he arrived

Also the day his Dad died i think, can't find the interview he did but was emotional attachment

Beckham and Iniesta.

Get them on the books. They don't have to play, but the shirt sales would pay for an extra player.

Slightly worryingly, I don't think Scienza hasn't looked particularly happy in any of the preseason footage so far? Considering he is also one of our star players and the fans' favourite, I'd say coverage has been fairly Spartan of him to date. Could be reading into it too much, but when combined with the news of potential moves to Italy / prem / Brazil (I.e. no smoke without fire) it's not clear that he'll be here come October.
