That's the one thing I'd take from US sport.
I appreciate we all want 1-11, but we have to accept the fact that's never going to happen.
So we might as well embrace the fact that a player can transcend their number.

The “certain attributes” include regular PL goals, often winning goals, each season.
A special attribute so many other strikers failed at - Benteke in 2 of his 3 seasons at CP, Defoe at Bmuff, Soldado, etc.
Priceless, Muzza kept us up, twice.

Just been looking through all the new training pics below and noticed that literally all the players have their squad numbers on their new training shirts except Glenn
What does everyone think?

Graham Potter , no less , thinks that Glenn is (still) going to be “an important player for us”

Yes, but hardly likely to say anything different......

Naylor needs to fill the ethernet pages before he leaves.
Wonder how much of the above quote is based on itk 'can't say' or is again just filling space.

in all fairness, what else could he say?

I was teasing . Of course its a fairly obvious quote. But this thread is debating with a certain poster that the very idea of him getting near to the pitch next season will ensure we're doomed. I guess the head coach confirming that that's not quite what he had in mind won't make any difference but i quoted it nonetheless.
Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but I knew nowt about the resolution and stumbled across it minutes ago while reading up on the great man.

To calm some nerves, the number 17 can be seen on Muzza's kit when Bruno picks him up in this video. I'm not telling you where, just watch the whole damn thing, FFS!

Little clip on the clubs Instagram story showing Glenn looking much sharper than Locadia.

Glenn will never have the number 17 taken away from him, apart from his short tenure at Bournemouth he has worn that number wherever he has played.

Mirror reporting today , in the rather vague way that is typical Transfer Window , that Cardiff are "weighing up" an offer for Glenn.
What that actually means - who knows. Here's Wales Online writing up the original Mirror report.

Does that mean they are weighing up replacing Colin with Chris?

Can't see an reason why Glenn would want to leave. Even if we signed Messi tomorrow Glenn might still have a role to pay off the bench and I'm sure he would rather play his potentially final season in football playing at the highest level rather than in the Championship and in South Wales.
What if Potter doesn't want him?
