New shirt numbers?

[gullshark]

When do these get "issued" ? I know its a sad question but on seagulls world blue rinse Bas has the number "17" on his training top...

OGH is not 9 this season.

 

[Buzzer]

OGH is not 9 this season.

You don't mess with the time space continuum and you don't mess with OGH's squad number.

We're doomed I tell you.

 

[Gully]

Might be Forster in that case...sorry, but OGH should keep the Number 9 shirt for however long he stays with us.

 

[Superphil]

Forster will be number 9 this season, and OGH is not at all happy about it.

My thoughts, come on Gary, get over it, we needed a player of Forsters ability, if it is a condition of his contract that he has the number 9, then so be it. It's for the good of the club, and Gary should understand how important that is.

i cant see tank changing his number, 14 has been good to him

Quite right too.

Although it doesn't REALLY matter what number the players wear, it's a bit pointless having a bench-warming winger and a crocked midfielder as your 9 and 10.

Thierry Henry was quite happy with no.14 why can't Forster make do? It wouldn't mean much to him but it obviously means a lot to OGH.

Maybe it meant a lot to Forster too. It would have been a bit daft if he hadn't signed on the basis that he hadn't been offered the number 9 shirt.

 

[blockhseagull]

I actually thought Forster had been number 10 at most of his clubs

Maybe not then !!!

 

[Superphil]

Number 9 here

Maybe it's an old-fashioned idea, but it seems to me that you give the first eleven numbers to the people who are actually likely to be playing this year.

 

[Wozza]

99 for Oatway, then? *oh my sides*

 

[stig]

7 for dean cox

Yes, I totally agree with you ........... it is an old fashioned idea.

Changing players numbers unnecessarily is a bit arse, when you think of all of the little kids with a current home shirt with 'Cox 28' for example on it, who will now be pestering their parents for a new one.

Last Christmas, my Mum bought white away shirts for all four of her grandsons. Three chose 'Cox 28' on them. Its a bit arse if his number changes 7 months later.

 

[gullshark]

I think oatway had number 7 *shrug

Same goes for United - robbing bastards.

I can hear the boardroom converstaion now;

"So, how y'all doing guys"

"Not too bad sir."

"Have y'all made me many dollars this week?"

"Not a great deal - its the summer - there's no matches"

"That's not what I want to hear boy. Sell more shirts then. Make me some dollars"

"Everyone's already got one, though"

"Then just y'all change the shirt, so everybody needs a new one. Jeez do ah have to think of everything around here?"

"We're not allowed sir. The shirt has to last two seasons"

"What kind of a motherfucking limey rule is that?. Hang on boy, ah've got it. Who's that offence-man - the one who looks like Shrek?"

"Rooney, sir?"

"that's him. Roonaldo. Give him the number 10 shirt, boy, so all the suckers have to buy a new shirt"

"Right away sir"

etc, etc...
