Members Rudy Posted July 23, 2020 Members Share Posted July 23, 2020 I don’t believe in retiring numbers unless they’re an exceptional player and it’s not a common number But that’s rarely gonna happen. i have OCD issues with shirt numbers. Gallas CB No.10 Bendtner 52 Fuck off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted July 23, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2020 Just seen it on Sky Sports News. We’re talking about a kid playing for Brum. What did he do to have the shirt number retired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad piece of business for Birmingham that, it must be nice when you get a youth product who you can sell for a decent bit of wedge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobarp Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 United were rolling out the red carpet for the boy to try and get him. He’s a serious serious talent by all accounts Fully expected to be regular starter for England. I became aware of him a couple of years ago and have been keeping an eye on progress. Genuinely believed he was going for more so I think his current value has been surpressed a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United told them no thanks That’s about standard on that size of deal though. I had heard A while back that he wanted to go to Dortmund and United were doing everything to stop him. Serious player the lad is from what I’ve seen and heard (not that I’m an expert by any means) be very surprised if he’s not playing in full England side In next 2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted July 23, 2020 Members Share Posted July 23, 2020 Not when they agreed in principle £15m. Emeka Obasi was in Manchester recently. Jadon Sanchos agent. Make of that what you will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make of that what you will Sancho will be a united player I’m sure of that. Actually be good to see him in the prem from an English point of view and I reckon they are probably the best club for him as he will get plenty game time.

Leyther_Matt Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 It’s sent me down a bit of a Wiki rabbit hole. Turns out Ketsbaia has had his shirt retired by a team in Cyprus. My personal favourite though is AEL in Greece, who have retired the number 24 shirt in honour of Kobe Bryant. He didn’t even play the same sport FFS 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
