Squad numbers

[double0]

To be fair, in his welcome interview he says his name is pronounced "Jay Clinton" not "Clinton Jay"

So, maybe Clinton is really is surname, and Njie is his personal name. :shrug:

No.... N'jie is his surname 100%

Not happy he went with Clinton and not N'jie on the back of he's shirt also thought 7 would be a good number however 14 looks good too.

I'm surprised one of Eriksen Chadli Pritchard Townsend haven't taken No.7.

Yes I am surprised Eriksen didnt change number I thought it would be nailed on that he would.

I think with some Africans it may be different, I remember something about Finidi George the Ajax player being known as George Finidi when he played for Nigeria, commentators mentioned it at WC 94 or 98

Ok - I am just going by what he said he name was - "Jay Clinton." see his 1st interview at 1:30

I trust him to know better than me.

He doesn't call himself "Jay." He says people mispronounce it like "en-jay" but it's more like "nn-jay." You can hear him clearly pronounce the "n," just with a different emphasis.

That kind of misses the point - he says his name is "nn-jay" Clinton - so having Clinton on the back of his jersey makes sense.

Anyone else think it's odd that 7 is still free?

18 is for Berahino obviously.

7 and 9 still not taken, another winger being teed up perhaps (eg Yarmolenko if he doesn't go to EFC)

Or they'll just stay empty now all season!

No, the point I was making is that a few people seem to think he calls himself Jay. He doesn't.

The Clinton on the shirt thing, however...
