    He'll still be number 4.

    Love that we've got nothing better to talk about than guessing what numbers people are gonna wear.

    I also wonder when players will be able to pick whatever number they want a la cricket and American football. Joe Root wears 66 (or is that Stokes) and shahid afridi wears 00.

    Root is 66 (as in Route 66).

    Perhaps they should allow negative numbers and decimal places - and, how about infinity?

    I think in American Football the numbers have significance (I.e only number x upwards can play in a specific position)

    What about letters like they have in netball? GK, WA, etc. A shame Roger Johnson's gone. He could have been FU.

    In some Italian clubs the senior players auction the numbers between them with the money going to charity. So if players want 1 or 9 then they have to outbid their team mates. Youth players don't have to pay and there is a minimum payment.

    Would be good to see the players do it for the Upbeats or the women's side imo

    I have a huge moral objection to the way the number 6 has been used by Karl and subsequently the squad.

    6=centre back
    4= centre mid

    Not the other way round. If Kashi or similar gets number 6 I'll be very disappointed...

    27. Hackett-Fairchild (or poss. higher)
    28. Hanlan
    29. Dijksteel (I think was 29 last year?)
    30. Novak
    31. Umerah (I think was 31 last year?) (or was it Mikhail Kennedy... either way, those two get numbers around 31)
    32. Watt

    Something like that, anyway, with random youth players getting squad numbers in the high 20s/early 30s.

    Dijksteel was 34 and Umerah was 29 I believe.

    Didn't the Saffers have Shaun Pollock wearing 7 and Herschel Gibbs wearing 07?

    surely we must get the squad numbers today whether we sign any more players or not. Come on KR I need them for the stats spreadsheet.

    Expect a signing or two to be announced today with the article saying X player will be wearing Y number shirt.

    Believe they are awaiting to announce one or two players and the squad numbers will follow. Hopefully today.

    Not sure if these are the final ones or not.

    Nobby has no number. Page is still 2 which grinds my gears. At least we have a centre back at 6.

    Probably true and will be officially released in due course yet no Amos photo and no Squad No. for Sarr?

    It's not even in numerical order, just looks poor with random photos in last year's kit, some with this year's training kit and some during a warm up.

    Bring back the whole squad photo.

    I hope that's an error and Sarr does have a number and is staying

    I think a lot of the EFL websites are a bit messy in areas such as these at the moment, what with the recent changes to new sites

    True. But it takes time to get everything 100%. Wolves' is also their own and theirs is not quite there yet either.
