Chris, is this the full list?

Hmmm... just had a thought. (No seriously, I do simetimes!!) :wink:

We really need to give the number 3 shirt to Clichy. Otherwise, Cruntley Hole might start thinking we retired the number as a mark of (Balp! Sorry, just had a little bit of vomit in my mouth there) respect... :oops:

Does not bare thinking about. :?

No changes then apart from the new 26 will be Bendtner. Surprised Jens didn't change to #69

Announcing squad numbers does not mean that there will be no more signings right?

Well there's still plenty of numbers left arn't there: 14,3,18,23,28,30 and any number going up from 32. If we buy sagna he will probally get number 3 but distinct possibility of getting number 14 as there will be no pressure on him to perfom like thierry as he is a defender.
