Over land and sea Posted 18 July, 2015 Share Posted 18 July, 2015 (edited) Nothing confirmed yet but the players appeared to be wearing squad numbers (without names on their shirts) today - giving an indication of the likely numbers for most of the new players. Most of last season's squad were unchanged on last year. The new players wore: 2 Cédric Soares 4 Jordy Clasie 15 Cuco Martina 20 Juanmi 22 Stekelenburg 14 Josh Debayo (new to first team) Players with different numbers to last season: 17 (was 38 ) Sam McQueen 26 (was 36) Jordan Turnbull 24 (was 35) Jack Stephens Edited 18 July, 2015 by Over land and sea Found out shirt numbers of subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 18 July, 2015 Share Posted 18 July, 2015 A few of the younger players will probably get lower numbers. 13, 14, 17, 18 and 22 are up for grabs as well as the new guys you've mentioned. Could be something like Reed 14, Targett 13, Gallagher 17, McQueen 18, Stephens 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over land and sea Posted 18 July, 2015 Author Share Posted 18 July, 2015 Just 13 and 18 available now then. Did Gazzaniga keep 25? Yes he did - here is the link to the line-up. Line-up I don't think we can regard the numbers as definitive - I doubt Debayo will get 14 for example - but it's probably accurate for the new signings. If the numbers were all correct, that does indeed leave just 13 and 18 free until you get to 29, with at least one new signing to come (and Ramirez will need a number if he stays). If Stephens' number is confirmed that may indicate Mayuka's exit as he's been number 24 since his arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Gaston shipped out last season and apparently shopping in Gunwharf this afternoon I think it's fair to say he won't need a number. 13 or 18 for the CB and maybe Ramirez if needed, I guess. Good spot re: Mayuka - he hasn't been around pre-season has he? Pretty sure his groin was ok by the end of last season so he's not injured and there were rumours of a contract buy-out after a rogue tweet. Maybe Debayo has got lucky...?

The9 Posted 19 July, 2015 Share Posted 19 July, 2015 We all forgot about Mayuka....................TBH I thought he was already gone!!!! It's a weird one, he had a brief "goodbye" tweet at the end of the season, but Saints haven't announced he's been released and he was no more than 3/5ths through his contract, and no longer injured. And now someone else wearing his squad number. Fairly sure he's gone but again, nothing actually said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
