As far as I can tell, the ones in bold are the ones who have changed numbers. I expect if we sign Nasri, he'll be number 8. I can't see anyone occupying the number 14 shirt just yet, though I doubt it'll be retired.

so are goalkeepers are a guy who has had one decent year as first team gk, a guy with very little experience in the prem, and a guy with no prem experience :unsure:

does not fill me with confidence :-/

i hope this doesnt put to much pressure on Theo, but i doubt Arsene would have given him the jersey if he didnt think he was up for it, it also might give Theo a big confidence boost to think Arsene believes in him that much.

I was actually under the impression Theo asked for the number. I mean, the squad list was published last week and Arsene's a bit busy with the Euros so I think Theo must have asked for his idol's number. He's a very brave boy, I must say, especially when you consider that he's already been dubbed the "new Henry".

So Theo is definitely number 14 then?

If so then Walcott it is i'm going to have on my back!

I was going to get Cesc, but i had him for the last top. I then thought about Nasri but that guy is never going to come here and hes p'd me off, so its not going to be him. Which leaves me with just 1 person...Fluffy! :wub: I know it'll annoy my dad and brother too.. ^_^
