That's proper funny. Seriously though, how can such a thing happen? Did they not agree on a squad number beforehand. Or has someone else requested 16? Seems very odd.

Sound's like a mess.

Wierd. Will cost the club a fair bit of money.

He gave the number to Rodriguez.

Yes he does. You think #16 is now free for Coq and #34 for RicRod? 😆

he should have approached coquelin like the G that he is and put some respek on his name and maybe we wouldn't be going through all this number changing bullshit.

True. Coq should have offered him the number straight off the bat anyway.

It actually wouldn't surprise me if Coq wanted a lower number, but because Xhaka wanted his one he decided to hold on to it.

Dick move from Coq. 

Dick move maybe, but it was pretty ballsy.

Coq effectively Coq blocked granit for the number 34 shirt.

I think this one has legs on it boys. First real internal rivalry in the squad for a long time.

Warning: old man rant.
Our squad numbers seem to be distributed in the same lackadaisical fashion as our match-day game plans.
1-Almunia, 2-Diaby, 17-Alexis, 10-Wilshere, ... and then i hear they insisted on Iwobi giving up the No:45 shirt.
Why?
Either it matters or it doesn't.

It depends if the number 4, 14 and 24 shirts get discontinued as well.
