Moved to number 29.

😆

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.

Savz

Sound's like a mess.

goon

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

Clrnc

He gave the number to Rodriguez.

Irishgunner

Ric Rod wears 34 as well, no?

marv3llous

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

Meatwad

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.

marv3llous

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

Irishgunner

Coq should have sold the number.

goon

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.

Big Willie

😆

Makes sense.

Dick move from Coq.

dreamlord

Dick move maybe, but it was pretty ballsy.

Bold Tone

Coq has big balls.

Sicario

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.

Bold Tone

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.
