How can it be that one guy 'who is in the know' has now got about 25 pages dedicated to his two incoming transfers 'who will wear the number 8 shirt and a shirt a shade higher'....to the point we are now predicting the rest of the squads numbers as part of this "rumour".
This rumour thread is even more of a farce than previous windows!
But on the subject of rumours I have it on good authority we will actually be signing 2 new players...one will wear a long sleeve shrit and the other short sleeves with gloves.
To you perhaps. Some people care about them. I don't think they're always meaningless, they can tell you quite a lot about who is considered first team at the start of the season; Rob Elliot going from 1 to 42 was a clear indicator a couple of years ago.
On the other hand, Evina was number 3 for three years and was never first choice left back. Yann wore number 18 and was always the first name on the team sheet.

Prepare for disappointment you miserable pair.
Im not being miserable Granpa, i just don't rate him, especially at Championship level.
Pigott is not a target man type player (though he can be) he can do other stuff, and perhaps people think he won't make it because he is a big guy, and ought to do big guy target man stuff like Andy Carroll. Don't rush to judgement about Joe just yet, although he knows he still has work to do to make the breakthrough.

If we're playing on the Ground then I'd say Pigott is quite a good Target Man... He can hold the ball up well and can spot a good pass. If its lumped forwards to him in the air (i.e. like the Millwall performance) then he's gonna struggle because he's only got a slight frame.
I reckon he will be utilised at Charlton this season (rather than being loaned out) because a comment was made by Peeters after the match against ADCP saying that he'd told Pigott not to worry about scoring in the Pre-Season Friendlies, instead he just needed to save his goals for the Championship

Very true. It's not always an indicator but I do think it's interesting to see which numbers players choose or are assigned to them. For instance, if Reza is still here when the numbers are announced but he isn't listed, we know for sure he's off.
I remember when Curbs put out a team numbered from 1 to 11, at the beginning of a season, I believe first time ever.
Beginning of 1998/99

Sorry Atletico but I had to say it.
