Squad Numbers I Feel Comfortable With

In four seasons for us Gary O'Neil has worn numbers 4, 16 and 18, in that order, which is not only too many different numbers but also makes it look like he's being progressively demoted.

Cesc Fabregas has had four numbers with Arsenal - 57 when he joined first, 27 in the 2004 Amsterdam Tournament, then 15 from the start of 04/05 before taking 4 in 2006.
That kind of progression is fair enough as it symbolised him becoming a more integral player, but then sometimes you have pointless changes. In 1995, David Hillier went from 18 to 17 at Arsenal while John Jensen changed from 17 to 19. When Steve Harper joined Newcastle in 1998, he was 13 and had that until the start of 03/04, when he moved to 12 before reverting to 13 for 08/09
