Branston Pickle 3,659 Posted August 13, 2013 It doesn''t seem so, not officially but the players seem to have been using squad number in the friendlies. I looked on the main site earlier and it still had last season''s kit-photos up, with gaps for all those guys who''ve left and nothing for those who have joined - I guess team photos and pen-pics haven''t been done yet.

Johnny_Bravo 0 Posted August 13, 2013 Odd with all the new signings. Revenue from shirt sales with names and numbers is, I guess, a good source of income?I did notice Hooper was 28 which, from what I remember, was Bunn''s squad number last season. I take it he''s not bringing 88 with him?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Juler 151 Posted August 14, 2013 Look forward to welcoming numbers 15 and 16 into the squad. Hooper at 11 I wasn''t expecting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted August 14, 2013 Does this mean all listed players will be staying next season? If so, there is only room for one more signing (Redmond doesn''t count in the 25). If a player is likely to be sold/loaned, surely they wouldn''t be given a number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gnasher 0 Posted August 14, 2013 Interestingly, assuming Fox and Ayala are both set to be in the 25, that leaves only one over 21 spot for any new signings.Say anything about our chances of signing a new striker/defender? Can''t imagine another young player is whats wanted at CB with Bennett and Ayala, maybe our striker search has headed to the loan/youngster market now.

NCFC TIll I die 0 Posted August 14, 2013 About time they were released mite go and get the new away shirt and get hooper 11 on the back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary02 IV 0 Posted August 14, 2013 I think Ayala and Butterfield are only listed as they''re in the category of "will do until we replace them". If we can''t get another CB and no 10 we''ll take them into the season. Even if we sign someone on deadline day they could still be loaned out to the Championship until Jan when they could move permanently. The 25 isn''t finalised until Sept.

Keeping them is far easier than signing the right players, even though that could mean having to pay part of their wages for the remainder of their contract if they don''t leave by the end of the transfer window.However as with goalkeepers the club has shown that it will spend to keep enough back up, so I doubt they will go just yet.

GMF 744 Posted August 14, 2013 This time last year James Vaughan was given a new squad number (19 from memory) before being shipped out on loan to Huddersfield Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howson is now! 0 Posted August 14, 2013 Fox has dropped from 15 to 25 though so it could be read as an intention to loan him out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted August 14, 2013 If Fox goes on loan then that will only be with a view to making a permanent move as he is either up to what we need, or not.If it is the latter then I doubt any loan spell is going to help in his development, as with players like Rudd.

KeelansGlove 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Still seems odd to leave 15/16 empty and number beyond 26 (25 + 1 U21)Maybe we are planning on signing 1 more plus a youngster. Otherwise surely would give 26/27 as 15/16 even if someone is shipped out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Row D Seat 7 0 Posted August 15, 2013 I''ve been hearing for about six weeks now that Fox will end up at Burnley on loan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
