Phillip J Fry 0 Posted July 1, 2014 Well, I guess that means Van Wolfwinkel''s out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HertsCanary93 222 Posted July 1, 2014 I know we can''t take too much from this, but Martin switching to number 5 certainly implies he may be used more as a Center Half?Maybe the vacant number 3 hints that we are looking for a new left-back, there have been no shortage of rumors that suggest Olsson may be off.

Mason 47 1,379 Posted July 1, 2014 Immediate reaction is that Wolf, Bassong and Surman will be on their merry way in the not-too-distant-future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phillip J Fry 0 Posted July 1, 2014 Johnson, Howson, Fer, Tettey are current CM. Surman is out.Grabban, Hooper, Lafferty, Loza are current ST.Whittaker is only RB.Martin shuffled over to CB, along with Turner and Bennett. Bassong is out.Hoolahan keeps 14.No change to LB.By the look of this targets will be another RB and CB. Possibly why number 3 is being kept open? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phillip J Fry 0 Posted July 1, 2014 Pilkington keeps 12. Suggest he''s going to be staying? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted July 1, 2014 Looks pretty definite about Bassong and probably RvW and Olsson as well. On the plus side it looks like Hooper is staying (for now), as is Turner. Still a bit of a guessing game though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JC 0 Posted July 1, 2014 Bassong number 30...also interesting. We shall see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phillip J Fry 0 Posted July 1, 2014 Olsson is an iffy issue. He hasn''t changed from his number last year (which is usually a good sign) but the fact that number 3 was vacant and he (as our first choice LB didn''t get it) is concerning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JC 0 Posted July 1, 2014 Olsson has kept his number, those that have changed:Whittaker was 3 now 2Martin was 2 now 5Grabban 7 (new)Lafferty 9 (new)Loza taking 16RvW moving to 20 (the lowest other than 3 free number when moving)Josh Murphy to 21Jacob Murphy to 25Bassong to 30 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted July 1, 2014 Regarding Olsson a lot of players prefer 23 - its a Michael Jordan thing.Beckham used it when at Madrid (and told he couldn''t have 7 due to Raul). I would expect it is Olsson''s first choice.(Also, 20 is a pretty popular number amongst players but never known why) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JC 0 Posted July 1, 2014 We have had a couple of influential players playing number 20, we had Damian Francis and Dickson Etuhu both wearing it from midfield and both were prominent in those teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul 0 Posted July 1, 2014 They are squad numbers. It means F All whether they are 2 or 52 if the price is right they will go. All this speculating he''s going coz he''s number x or he''s staying coz he''s number Y, dear god Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted July 1, 2014 RickyvanWolfswinkel @RvWolfswinkel9 4m Yes, i have been given number 20I guess it''s just a number Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
he 0 Posted July 1, 2014 Humiliating for RvW and Bassong to "lose" their number. This surely means they will be leaving. A manager can''t do this to players if he believes in them and plans with them for the future. Not to sure about Andy Surman. He was sent out on loan by Chris Hughton and his number 11 shirt was given to Gary Hooper when he joined the club. Surprised to see Wes Hoolahan and Anthony Pilkington keep their numbers as they didn''t take part in the last few games under Neil Adams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone with a low squad number could still easily go (Hooper for example), but I''d say it''s very unlikely for the senior players like Bassong at 30 to still be here come the start of the season.

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted July 1, 2014 Signing grabban and lafferty filled me with a bit of dread. However I thought, squad players - they''ll be fine. Better, more ambitious signings are in the pipeline. Then I see them given the number 9 and number 7 shirts........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted July 1, 2014 We need to find this elusive ball playing midfielder. Would have liked number 7 reserved for him. Let''s hope the lack of available first 11 numbers means nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted July 1, 2014 Olsson needed an operation this summer on his shoulder i think it was, has caused him problems all season. Adams confirmed last month he hadnt had the op. Is that because hes on his way, and maybe couldnt sell him whilst recovering from an op because he wouldnt get through a medical.Surely if he was staying he would have had the op soon as the season ended.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,749 Posted July 1, 2014 I wonder if the number issued to Grabban maybe more signficant than we may think......could he be earmarked for the right side of a front 3 role, with maybe Lafferty centre and Redmond left? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
