Maybe i'm reading too much into this, but weimann has taken n'zogbia's number, and n'zogbia has been given number 36. Our squad numbers for the players that aren't for sale are 1-25 (no 19 for petrov) with the exception of lowton who has asked for 34 again, and everybody from 35 upwards appears to be those players we are trying to sell. N'zogbia being number 36 can only suggest he isn't wanted or need and will be sold, probably in january due to his injury. Weimann, gardner and baker who all opted to keep their numbers last season have been given a number between 1 and 25 leaving no gaps other than 19, so unless n'zogbia has specifically asked for 36, that to me looks like he's not going to be there for long.

I think you're right pal, despite being supportive of the likes of N'Zogbia, Ireland and Bent in the past I think it is time they moved on. I'm glad to see Gardner, Carruthers & Baker get more traditional squad numbers. I agree with you on the notion that the 'Bomb Squad' will be gotten rid of, and as far as I'm concerned, the quicker the better.

You said you wanted to keep Ireland a couple of days ago Jon?!

A guy can change his mind, over the last season I've been umming & arring about him. Based on playing skills I think he can be one of the best in the league, however based on what we've heard about the unrest he's caused, he should go as no man is bigger than the team. He has obviously managed to piss someone off in the club as he's been given the number 40. On the other hand we are not in posession of all the facts and I think to get rid if him on his playing ability is a mistake but if issues have arisen (which we can only presume) he has to go.

Jon.

"PISS SOMEONE OFF"

Sure has 43,000 of us

He has got no playing ability, the only playing ability he had was at Man city, and that lasted 8 months.

He is bone idle, tells lies about family members, and can't make his mind up.
