It never seems to be completely confirmed until the window closes. Any players that take a new number next week will probably stick with it but expect to see a slight re-shuffle come 1st September once no one is moving around.

You would think that the club would aim to make the most of wanting to sort shirt sales asap but seem not to worry about it

We usually make it official in the first week of august ahead of the season kick off.
Lately we've learned though that it can even be changed after this, and as waresy say it's not official until transfer window close.

Ilove the number 10 shirt myself thanks to Glenn Hoddle although 26 King was my favourite in modern times

Also Soldado being given a number may point to him sticking around seeing as Adebayor and Lennon just not mentioned at all.

7, 14, 18 decent numbers that are left open for any potential incomings. 9 could be available if Soldado goes.

Gonna be lots of people with 18 Kane shirts that are unhappy.

That's why I didnt get the boy his shirt yet!
Yeah. I'm surprised he swapped it for 10 actually.
Wasn't expecting Bentaleb to get 6 either - though Wimmer may have laid claim to that if Toby didnt take it. Added with I thought Eriksen would take 10 or 8.

The Marquee signing (See other thread) has 7 or 14 up for grabs..

Sorry for spamming this thread, but the fact that Winks and Onomah are being listed here with squad numbers indicates that they are being considered as part of the first team for this season.

Why is Kane #10 FFS. Give it to Pritchard or Eriksen. Kane should be 9 or 18.

Interestingly enough, Berahino was #18 for WBA last season, not sure if it's a coincidence that we've left it free. Probably a bit optimistic.
