Must be, unless these (unsubstantiated, I must add) rumours about Oxlade-Chamberlain taking 99 at Liverpool come to fruition.

Squad Numbers I Feel Comfortable With

The Premier League claim that numbers must be consecutive and close to the current highest squad number. Which are two different things. The rules obviously don't apply to Man City, for whom Iheanacho wore 72, and for whom the record holder, Jose Angel Pozo (me neither) wore 78. Alexander-Arnold (#66 at Liverpool) is probably the highest profile high number at the moment.

Has Ayew switched from the 3 shirt then, or do we face the prospect of Swansea seemingly fielding their full backs up front this season?
Ah - switched to 18, a small mercy that.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 01-09-2017, 09:10.

Yeah, obviously Llorente vacated the 9 shirt and Bony replaced him so his choice of 2 is just willfully perverse.
I am willing to serve on the Squad Numbering Panel as long as we can schedule our meetings so as not to clash with those of the Change Kit Usage Committee.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 01-09-2017, 11:51.

Yes, I was at an early season League Cup tie between Oxford United and Cardiff when I still followed the latter and a fringe player on the visitors bench had the 69 shirt. I think it may have been mentioned on this thread.

One of the current Arsenal squad wears number 69, though I'm not sure who - he came on against Doncaster in the League Cup. I remarked at the time it was the first time I'd seen the number on a shirt when the wearer wasn't participating in a stag-do.
