I wonder how many squads don’t have a number nine, there can’t be many surely?

I see Kieron Evans has a squad number, but I don’t think he’s played any football yet this pre season.

9 is for Bale of course.

Smithies wanted 25 something to do with a friend that died.

Bale had 9 at Spurs last season…

We’ve also got 12 and 13 free. Maybe we’ll be making more signings…

Re: Squad numbers announced

According to TransferMarkt.co.uk the following players are entering final season of their current contracts:

4. MORRISON, Sean (C)
5. FLINT, Aden
6. VAULKS, Will
8. RALLS, Joe
11. MURPHY, Josh
14. VASSELL, Isaac
17. TOMLIN, Lee
21. PACK, Marlon
25. SMITHIES, Alex

Bonus:
26. GILES, Ryan (end of loan deal)
30. BROWN, Ciaron (no information on when contract expires)

Contract renewals are going to be as big for us this year as new signings and will tell us a lot about what sort of side we'll be going forward.

NG being a fullback makes more sense wearing the number 2

Yeah I thought that was odd, guess he likes his number.

Re: Squad numbers announced

Vassel has injured himself with a needle sewing the numbers on. Latest estimate is that it’ll keep him out till after Christmas.

I've a feeling even if they want to they may not get new deals unless they accept much lower terms.
I don't think we can afford PL wages anymore.

Re: Squad numbers announced

Quite a few u23s have been given squad numbers in recent years, but this time it feels different.

There are 28 players in the list. 4 of them have come from the u23s this summer; 5 of them broke through from the u23s (a few after decent loan spells) last season. Whether it is financial constraints, the quality of Cardiff's 'golden generation' or the willingness of the manager to play youth, I can see all of them getting a chance again this season.

George Ratcliffe is now No3 keeper. No senior roadblock like Joe Day or Brian Murphy or (why?) Chris Konopka in front of him. Good.

Re: Squad numbers announced

McGuinnesss at 2 - an indication he's going to be a starter?
