First Team Squad Numbers

[richwilks]

Three of Rafa Benitez's young pretenders have been given first-team squad numbers for 2008-09. , and have all been allocated numbers for the first time.

 

Central midfielder Plessis, who borrowed the number 47 for his debut at the Emirates last term, will wear 28 on a permanent basis.

 

Nemeth, who top-scored for Gary Ablett's title-winning reserves in 2007-08, has been handed the number 29.

 

Defender Kelly will have 34 on his back should he make his first-team debut in the forthcoming campaign.

 

Meanwhile, three youngsters have swapped shirts: has moved from 48 to 22; from 34 to 26; and from 42 to 31.

Does that mean Pacheco and Darby aren't being given squad numbers or do they already have them?

Martin kelly's not played for two years, yet he's given a squad number. Is he any good?

[Maldini]

He played all last season and he's featured in two of our pre-season friendlies. He's a very good defender, he's played RB mostly in the reserves, but CB is his natural position.

So the only squad numbers still not taken from 1 to 35 (barring 13 for obvious reasons) are 6 and 11.... assuming 6 has been reserved for GB, are we to read anything into the fact that 11 remains untaken? hmmm ......
