i'm sorry

[Flopsy]

its cool, anyway arent you off to paly with jansen?

[Oklahoma]

From the current squad list, it's interesting to see that the number 3 (traditionally, a left back), 6 (a midfielder) and 9 (striker) are missing.

And those should be our main targets.

And MGP should change to 11.

For me, 12 is always goalkeeper

Number 6 is usually a defender and number 13 9/10 is a goal keeper.

Number 6 is normally a middy traditionally! But it has been given to defenders recently!

But 6 will always be a defensive middy to me

13 is the unlucky reserve goalkeeper's number!

i thought it was 16 as ferguson has dissapeared!!

[T4E]

Lee is right. 4 is a holding midfielder, 8 is an attacking midfielder, 5 and 6 are centre halves and 7 is a right winger.

number 7 has always been used in most sides. i find now though that some of the world class strikers are using the number 7, i.e. Raul, Shevchenko and the old enemy Cantona to name a couple!!

[AggyBlue]

It doesn't matter what numbers they wear, they're no longer team numbers, but squad numbers.

That explains why we have so many squad players......

[AlanSheppard]

Don't the "traditional" numbers differ from country to country? I thought that in England 4 is generally a defensive midfielder because numbers were first used with the WM system that Chapman(?) used at Arsenal. So:

-----------1----------

2--------------------3

---------4-----------

----5----------6-----

7-------------------11

------8------10------

---------9-----------

I'm not sure that's entirely right but you get the picture. Other countries used different systems (eg. 4 and 5 being regular centre backs in a 4-4-2) I believe.

There's a first time for everything, and I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but Jim is right!

[Presty On Tour]

are the squad number for the new season released at the end of july??

[bob fleming]

No, the squad numbers will be out at the beginning of October this year. It's because the new away shirt was released so early.

I expect the new home shirt will be released when we announce our next signing on August 31st (2005).

And my 29 Nelsen jersey will be out of date...sigh. It has been a smash hit as I've worn it to DC United matches. Everyone wants to know where I got it...except for one poor soul who wanted to know what club's colors it was and was Ryan Nelsen an American? Guess he figured a Yank would only wear another Yank's name on his back.

I won't get away with the wrong number on the back...too many DC United fans are paying attention to Ryan's success at Blackburn. Those I care about will know.

[bellamy11]

Let's hope that Bellamy gets number 11.
