I'm quite sure England changes numbers every single game depending on the starting XI no? It's some tradition.

Was thinking of the U21 tournament recently, have to have set squad numbers for those tournaments.
Adebayor. Nicely done of him. We signed him from City after Rafa had changed to 10, and Bale had taken 11. So Manu chosed 25, instead of 10 as he wore the season he was here on loan. Rafa left, and Ade took 10 again. And paid for everyone who had bought with 25.

I predict the following, assuming we manage to shift the deadwood and we get our targets (being super optimistic):
4 Schneiderlin / Kramer or Bentaleb
6 Aldewereild or Wimmer
7 Pritchard
8 Bentaleb (or Mason if Bentaleb gets 4)
9 Martial
10 Eriksen
14 Alli
23 Mason (if Nabil gets 8)
24 Trippier
26 Wimmer (if Toby gets 6)
4 Schneiderlin / Kramer or Bentaleb
6 Aldewereild or Wimmer
7 Pritchard
8 Bentaleb (or Mason if Bentaleb gets 4)
9 Martial
10 Eriksen
14 Alli
23 Mason (if Nabil gets 8)
24 Trippier
26 Wimmer (if Toby gets 6)

I think
I think Nabil will get 4 to be vacated by Kaboul

Something tells me Wimmer won't be given Ledley's number.

16 is available too, reckon that is a likely number for either Trippier or Wimmer

He doesnt deserve the #10 shirt he has been a poor shadow of players that have worn that number for us.

I definitely wouldn't get a shirt with player name / number on back until numbers announced or if they already are a firm first team with established number - say Ginola who always had 14 or someone with 1 - 11.
I always thought Bale could move from 3 as he moved away from left more and more for example.
I personally would like Kane to be 10 as my favourite number.
Plus Kane was a massive fan of Sheringham, 9 could go to another incoming attacker.
Bentaleb really should get 4 or 8, depending on which other midfielder we (hopefully get in).
Eriksen is another possibility for either 8 or 10.
Mason also needs to be shunted up, possibly to 8 but depends on who else we get in.
Pritchard needs a number in first 25, probably not 1-11 yet though.
Dier I would like to get 6 unless we buy a really big name centre back, but I'd like Dier to be first choice really and let him develop.
Trippier depends on Walker, 12 already taken by Yedlin and Chadli took 22, both ideal right back numbers when 2 not available. Maybe he'll get 16 as Naughton's old number? Chadli could be shifted to 7 though to leave 22 vacant.
*squad number geek out*

I don't disagree but I still don't think they'll take it from him if he stays.

During qualifiers they wear 1-11 but for tournaments they stick to whichever number they are assigned at start.
