marcofisher Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Perhaps hinting he is more likely to stay? Think Del may have a bigger role for him this season anyway and has probably used that to persuade him to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I am not sure that Training tops relate to squad numbers, if this was the case we could assume that Deano will not be our number 1 this season as he is wearing 22 in those training pics.

You'd assume correct! Reckon they will be squad numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashton Great Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 The club always say that training top numbers don't necessarily relate to squad numbers but in the end they nearly always do. If anyone's interested the full list is as follows: 1. 2. Foster 3. 4. Fontaine 5. Nyatanga 6. Carey 7. Bolasie 8. Kilkenny 9. Stead 10. Pitman 11. Woolford 12. Wilson 13. 14. Skuse 15. Pearson 16. 17. Cunningham 18. Taylor 19. 20. Morris 21. 22. Gerken 23. Edwards 24. Reid 25. Elliott 26. Bryan 27. Adomah 28. 29. Amadi-Holloway 30. 31. 32. Carey (GK) 33. 34. 35. Stewart Suggests to me Del might want another left back seeing as Cunningham has taken 17 and left 3 vacant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Does this mean that Albert is off then? Bolasie has a "1st team number" Albert is down in the stiffs! I think players superstitions and other factors help define the numbering too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted July 12, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Since squad numbering came out the shirt number counts for very little. Would not read too much into this, its only numbered so that they know which kit is their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouReds Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I rate brett highly hope he stays, hes a good link up man aswell as being a goal scorer, i just hope the rumours of him going to burnley are not true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol_South_End Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Brett was 15 all the way through pre-season last year and ended up as 34 again, I think by his own request. So I wouldn't look into it too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Does anyone know how squad numbers are assigned? Am surprised for example that Cunningham isn't no.3, assume he's our first choice LB? Am sure some players get a number written into their contract, know this was the case when Chelski signed Sheva (7) and Ballack (13). Mind you, they were well established players at the time, might be slightly different at City's level... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano definitely deserves to be #1. At least as a reward for his patience! Surely Del should grant him the number for which every goalkeeper strives.

BCFC Jordan Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Glad for Brett as I've always rated him, such a talented footballer and I still think this 'laziness' is often over exaggerated. He closes down defenders just as much as the next striker, his positional sense is very clever for a striker and often makes up for his lack of pace. For me he's easily capable of scoring 20 goals a season if starting most games. Recently made a video of his goals for us as well if anyone wants to take a look. Note how the majority are one touch finishes! [media=] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't think he is a very good championship goalkeeper so i'm glad Del is on the hunt for some strong competition for Deano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't think he is a very good championship goalkeeper so i'm glad Del is on the hunt for some strong competition for Deano. He's a good Championship keeper and after playing so well at the end of the season deserves to start as the no.1. Competition is all well and good, and as the no.1 he has to maintain the high standards he's shown, but if Del signs a new first choice keeper then it would be very understandable if Gerken's patience ran out. He waited a long time to get another chance and took it in very impressive fashion, so he's done all he can. He's the natural successor to James if Del thinks he's good enough - if that's not the case he would surely start to think he might be more appreciated elsewhere.

SecretSam Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 @Jordan - that video only proves what I have always said, that Pitman is a natural finisher and with the right service could be devastating - no-one else at the club has that kind of touch (well, Del might but anyway). But he needs service - personally, I'd put a deep lying striker/AMF behind him who's only attacking role was to feed him - either Pearson or (wait for it) Kilkenny. And the whole team should simply work to set him up with chances. Many of these goals seem to have been scored on the counter, which is interesting. As for his lack of pace, well he seemed quick enough to me, and if he gets in the right place at the right time, I don't think it matters if he has granite feet...
