Major Isewater Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Leaving the number 9 shirt free leads me to believe that City have a deal lined up already . It is blatant that we are , at least , trying to get a number 9 in . Am I alone in thinking this ? Exciting times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppello Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 There are strong rumours of Abraham signing on loan so could it be left for him? Admittedly I have never seen him play but from his physique he doesn't really look like a number 9! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Not filling the number 9 shirt is unusual. I don't recall it happening before. Could be that LJ doesn't plan on using a CF or, as others have said there's another striker on his way..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I understand Tomlin's agent negotiated for the number 9 shirt in their contract talks after the success he had in it last season, but then forgot to take into account the booking fee!

How about £12k and the prized number 9 shirt? At the very least, does sound like we are trying to attract a forward - hardly going to use it as a pull for a left back I would have thought.

Not having a go at you Marcus, I'm going to presume you are relatively young. Since I started watching City in particular and football in general the number nine has been associated with goal scorers many of them heroes and household names. Centre Forward or more commonly now Striker has long been the player wearing the number nine shirt, and that player has often been the one who provides the most excitement in the game. We could have a competion listing the number nines who have entertained us over the years? I'll start Dixie Dean..60 goals in one Premership season..better goal scoring record than Messi or Ronaldo.

BRISTOL86 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 One presumes that Kodjia would have been given it, if he wanted to, but presumably he chose to stick to 'his' number from last season. Don't know if he wore 22 at Angers also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 It's to allow people on here to bemoan a lack of goals by saying "we literally have no number 9" and finally use the L word correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Donnie Gillies who was converted from a striker to a right back and continued to wear the coveted number 9, obviously before the days of squad numbers. Always found that slightly sad.

... Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Please, please! FFS!! Can EVERYONE just stop posting theories about the 'vacant no. 9 shirt' for a few moments. I propose we all chip-in a few quid and get Sherlock Holmes in to find out WTF is going on. Lets just wait and see what Sherlock comes up with. OK?
