The No. 10 Shirt

Wed Jul 03, 2013 10:44 pm

With the signing of A-Corn, I for one would've expected him to be given the 10 shirt.. Is there any reason why he couldn't be given the shirt seeing as its likely he will be our main striker for the forthcoming season, or is the shirt being held out for a bigger star when the club expects him to come through the door..? :ayatollah:

I reckon he will be given the number 29 shirt like he was at FC Copenhagen.

After McPhail and Earnie, I'd love him to have it. I've got a feeling he's going to have a good few years here at the top level. He seems the committed type :malky:

Rugby fans not knowing the positions.

No.10 for me is someone who sits in between midfield and striker.

Number 9 is free
You don't honestly think that Velekonja is going to keep the number 9 shirt, or do you? :laughing6:

What about 23?
The days of the 1-11 usually starting are long gone.

Too many people look too much in to who is given the shirt numbers between 1 & 11.

They mean nothing anymore.

Players want favourite or lucky numbers. Bellamy 39, Beckham with 23.

Just because a player is given a shirt between 1-11 does not mean they are more likely to play.

Who cares what number they get

Number 9 is your big centre forward.

10 is either the little man like Earnie or as you say the second striker that sits behind.

I think Kim's a bit of a seven in the creative sense and he used to wear that at Cerezo Osaka. Can't see Whitts giving that up though and would be annoyed if he did. Even if Malky does having playing as a number 4 at times.

I would of gave Kim the number 4 shirt :ayatollah:

Give him the 9 shirt, lets everyone know he's our main man IMO :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
