Squad Numbers

[DB10GOONER]

And not just the 10 at Arsenal. They should be forced to retire the 10 at every single club in the world in tribute The Dennis.

Retiring shirts is an american sports phenomenon imo. They use the numbers from 1 to 99.
Football is mostly number 1 til 11, so if you retire numbers from time to time there will be only numbers like 52 or 23 on the field. Such things don't please me. I am against retiring numbers.

Have you been watching football lately??!! 1 to 11??!!!

Numbers worth retiring are 1 to 11 and 14 imo.
Every other number are shit numbers and worn by shit or average players.

now you're talking

Bendtner should switch to a higher number as well, possibly 18. He looks like a fucking reserve player running about in 52.

You could have just finished that sentence at "player", mate.

i really think we should've retired the number 10 shirt for good.

Agreed 100%.

Disagree 100%!

Retiring numbers is silly.

What happens after the number is retired? - is that the end of it... do we only get to see it in old footage? or gathering dust in a glass case at the museum?? - and how exactly is that showing respect??

I WANT to see the famous number 10 shirt on the football pitch where it belongs!... creating history! not banished from the football field forever.

Thanks to Dennis, the famous number 10 shirt now carries extra weight and importance - instead of banning future players from wearing it, let them try and live up to the great man. Hell, one day we might have another great number 10, and then the wealth of history and importance of the number will be even more impressive.

In any case, I'd imagine most kids in Argentina dream of pulling on the number 10 shirt for their country because it means so, so much. Why ban them from that possibility??

Football moves on, and although I'm all for respecting our history, I think we should be embracing our future just as much. In other words, the number 10 shirt stays!

has anyone noticed the factfile on arsenal.com has new centreback scholananan or whatever his name is down as squad number 6! that must mean hes first team ready right?

i mean i know senderos had it before but it was only the late signing of gallas that stopped him from playing.

maldini retired recently and they retired his number 3. i think only in circumstances like that, he wore it for 20 years i think, no one will do that in this day and age so i wouldnt think itl happen much. i mean with them they cant imagine anyone else wearing that number as he was there so long and won everything over and over again. they might have a few more with nesta and inzaghi e.t.c.

I read somewhere that the shirt will only come out of retirement if one of his sons (both playing in the youth team at AC Milan) break into the first team.

At the risk of being associated with this tennis poof I actually agree with every word of it, spot on g88ner. As much as i love Bergkamp and feel very honoured to have watched a player like that play for Arsenal retiring his number is plain stupid
