I assume some of the more superstitious players choose to keep numbers they did well with before.

Doubt it, we have a duty of care for an 18 year old in a country half a world away.

No. 10 probably being reserved for when we sign Messi.
No.16 seems to be little used as well. Going back through my records I can only find Jahanbakhsh in recent times. Before that it was Ankergren, Hawkins and Kuipers. (no doubt some stato will correct me on this!)
I think a lot of players like to keep the number they are first allotted which could explain the lack of change in many cases.

Pretty poor that they got Dahoud’s name wrong on this list!

Didn’t Scherpen have 16 for a while?

Yep, Scherpen was 16 in both 2021-22 and 2022-23 (although obviously out on loan for much of that time). Ulloa was 16 when he came on loan in 2017-18.

I knew I would be corrected. My research not sufficiently in depth. Missed Ulloa, but Scherpen never appeared for first team did he?

He started against WBA in the FA Cup in January 2022.

Thanks. I was only looking at league appearances so missed that.

I think we may be reading too much into this numbers lark- having watched ice hockey now and American sports with a big squad, forget the days when it was TBA or Gerry Ryan as #12
That’s what I was thinking. Pervis is still no 30 and Veltman is 34, it’s not like they aren’t key players in the team. I suspect we are making more of it than it is.
