I think it his thread needs to breach 200 pages before it us announced. Doing my part.
Romero likes 17. He wore #13 for Argentina because he was a new comer with 0 cap when he was called up so he took whatever was left. Tell Sissoko to go away and let him take his number.
Doesn't Dier like 15 as he modelled his game on Vidic at Utd?I thought Dier wanted 4?
Don’t the Argies consider 5 to be the defensive midfielders number?A no-nonsense, aggressive Argentinian CB should have 5 IMO. 4 Should be for a deep lying playmaker like Carrick.

Fair, just saying what an Argentine player would want. Since you mentioned his nationality. The 5 shirt is synonymous with deep lying midfielders for them.I'm talking about English football.
Will always associate 4 with a CB, likewise 5 and 6. Though I can understand 5 for a DM. This could be a thread on its own entirely. I have perceptions of positions/players and numbers they should be in my own mind.A no-nonsense, aggressive Argentinian CB should have 5 IMO. 4 Should be for a deep lying playmaker like Carrick.

6 could and should be a regista, imo. But I think 4, 5 and 6 can be distributed among central defence and defensive midfield without too many eyelids being batted. 2 and 3 however, is strictly defence only, and little has hurt my eyes more than Dempsey wearing #2. The same goes for anything between 7 and 11, which should not, under any circumstances, be used by a defender.Will always associate 4 with a CB, likewise 5 and 6. Though I can understand 5 for a DM.

I am so glad Wolves sold Patricio. Don't have to see a GK wearing 11 again, unless they gave it to their replacement. Annoyed my squad number OCD every time I watched them.6 could and should be a regista, imo.

I had no idea about that. Just think keepers should be 1, 12, 13 or any 20+. Again this could be an interesting discussion on its own in general football and to see how others perceive numbers with positions, styles, formations and players.They initially retired the number 1 shirt because of Carl Ikeme and his cancer diagnosis.
Only now are they bringing it back for their new goalkeeper Jose Sa.
