Squad Numbers?

[MilkyBarKid16]

Any official news on the new players' squad numbers?

Bentley's loan deL has been terminated and you know what the OS is like, never updates the squad!

[Hemel Iron]

Wouldn't surprise me if Morrison kept 49, especially since he has it in his Twitter ID (not that it can't be changed).

I personally would hate it, as a self confessed squad number OCD neat freak, I still don't really get why first teamers like Hall and Potts are in 46 and 48 when we have had plenty of numbers in the mid 30's free all season long.

I'm also not sure where this Vaz Te in 28 is coming from, it was mentioned here and some pleb keeps changing it on Wikipedia. Kuruscz has 28, I know he is now out on loan for the rest of the season, but I'm pretty sure we can't reallocate those numbers (if we could, then surely it would be better to use Barrera's 12 and the vacant 8 and 23 for the newcomers)

The ideal scenario for a number of reasons, would be if we could get rid of Sears and/or Carew before we have to allocate the new numbers, as that would throw 11 and 19 into the mix.

Look at the numbers on the OS.. he's back at spurs receiving treatment if fit again this season he can return to us under the loan contract.

We sent him back, but we were obligated to pay his salary up until Jan 1st, when we could cancel the loan contract officially. We got stuck for £450k of his wages. The was a news story on it, I'm buggered if I can be bothered to dig it up.

Swap Collison for 8 and put Maynard to 10. Simple.

Don't think the rules allow that midseason, but I'm all for that happening next season.

Unless I am mistaken, because Barrera and Kurucz are no longer registered squad players for West Ham Utd for the remainder of this season, we are able to reallocate their numbers.

If wiki is to be believed for once.. Morrison .8 ... Maynard .23 ... Vaz Te .28

*but of course it isn't i could now go and change that so this comment is pointless but oh welll................

[Hemel Iron]

Have you just done that?

Now it's got Vaz Te at 8, Vaz Te at 8 again (but in the position 28 should be), Morrison 88 and Maynard has been removed altogether.

On a serious note, whoever does it seriously needs to remove Fry and Brown and update the extended loan date for Kuruscz.

Anyone can edit wiki at anytime mate, After 5mins it will change back

[Hemel Iron]

Yes, I know it can, which is why I'm taking it all with a pinch of salt.

I was just wondering if you did it, because you mentioned anyone could do it, and then it changed.

Think i have better things to do with my life then edit wiki pages

Alright mate, I was only asking.

[Adie64]

Club just tweeted Maynard 8 Vaz Te 12 & Morrison 23 (Beckham )

[TheGavnor]

[LincolnshireHammer]

What numbers have John and Dixon been given?

[Adie64]

George John 25 don't think Dixon given one yet.

[MilkyBarKid16]

So I'm assuming that Barrera will be given a new number next season, or will BFS being selling him?

To be honest I don't think he's cut out for English football, just because of the way he plays.

[trick88]

whufc.com has now officially put on the site..

Striker Nicky Maynard, who has joined the Hammers from Bristol City, will wear the No8 shirt. Winger Ricardo Vaz Te, who has arrived from Barnsley, will be the new No12, while the club's new capture from Manchester United Ravel Morrison will wear No23.

(and no i didn't edit wiki)

[casshammer]

... Morrison 23 (Beckham )

Let's hope it doesn't have the same effect as Ilunga. Especially present i my mind as I got 'ILUNGA 3' on my shirt that year
