Squad Numbers 16/17 Season

[rabbikeane]

I'd like Wimmer with 6

We all know it makes sense for Winks to take 40. Think of the marketing opportunities should he become a first time star, bed linen, nightwear the lot

that is brilliant, that is the only change i am hoping for, is there a petition to sign anywhere.

Harry Kane will change his number again, this time to no. 9.

His favourite player growing up was Teddy Sheringham, so I dont think he will ever change his number now.

Kane looks way more awesome wearing number 10 then 9 as well.

We like our top quality number 10s in these here parts, it belongs to Kane

Ben Davies to wear 6 is my pick

 

[easley91]

Should be announced sometime today I'm guessing with the opener tomorrow.

Not like us to leave it late.

The fact there's been nothing leads me to believe there to be no changes really. My son wants Dier on his shirt pretty sure it'll still be 15 but ive not been able to buy him one just in case its changed. It'll be Wanyama 12 and Janssen 9 and the main squad will stay same I think.

 

[Hengy1]

Assume there's no changes with Waynama getting 12 & Janssen 9 as per preseason

Squads don't need to be announced in until the end of the transfer window. Don't think we will hear anything about squad numbers till then

Really?? A left back?

I'd like Dier to get the number 6 (or Toby switch to 6 and Dier get 4).

They don't you're right, but Leicester and United both announced theirs before the community shield. Was kind of hoping we'd do the same before tomorrow.

We always announce them before the opening day. Certainly did last year, and definitely did in 2012 too.

 

[yankspurs]

Ahh. Never an easy ride with this club. Every club releases squad numbers a few days prior to the first game. Day before the game and still nothing from us. Classic Spurs, really. Waiting until the very last minute to do something. Thats the way we like it.

Wasnt the squads supposed to be turned into the league today? Maybe we'll get something this evening?

 

[AndyReid_N17]

Levy probably thinks if we leave it till the last day of the window to announce the numbers he might save himself a few quid..or something like that.

.@Dele_Alli will retain number 20 but for personal reasons has elected to have the name 'DELE' displayed on the reverse of his match shirts.

.@Dele_Alli: “I wanted a name on my shirt that represented who I am and I feel I have no connection with the Alli surname."

.@Dele_Alli: "This is not a decision I have taken without a lot of thought and discussion with family close to me.”

 

[chrissivad]

They have just been announced.
On phone so can't link to them just now

 

[L-man]

Main changes:

Bentaleb lost 6 and back to 42.

Alli changed his shirt name to Dele

Janssen 9

Wanyama 12

 

[PhantoM47]

I imagine Alli changing his shirt name is to do with an estranged father or something? Don't know the details of his personal life/background.

 

[scat1620]

Edwards the very highest number in the squad (with Amos/Walkes etc having lower numbers) is mildly interesting. Mildly.*

Yup, dad left around the time he was born and mum gave him up for adoption as a teenager. Fair play to the lad.
