I think Adam Berry might have to give up his shirt when Jesus comes calling.

 

[insidenffc1]

Jonathan Panzo has left Forest

 

[Otis Redding]

Call me a dinosaur, but I can accept 99 being allocated to some young kid like Adam who is currently a million miles away from first-team consideration, but on the back of a player who, if fit, is likely to feature extensively, I'm struggling.

You're a dinosaur.

 

[Otis Redding]

You're a dinosaur.

Of course I am. I suppose that invitation was academic.

 

[weejockmcplop]

hehe

Jesus was 99 at his last club... I assume that was for a reason other than he just ended up with 99.

I find anything above 30 ridiculous for a first team squad player. And regular starters should have a 1-11 number that corresponds with their position.

 

[forzagaribaldi]

I remember as a kid how exotic squad numbers seemed as they were only used in the World Cup iirc.

Whether you're looking for verification of new arrivals, or you just have a strange obsession with shirt numbers, here's your annual, handy cut out and keep guide to who is wearing which number:-

Note: This is a VERY provisional list at this stage, based upon last seasons numbers, numbers players have worn in pre-season, official announcements of number changes and a dose of guesswork.
I take no responsibility if you go out and get a shirt printed and your favourite player then changes number.
Also Note: (B) designation for our ‘B-team’ players, as this seems to be the term they are using now, an age group for those listed, or just a (A) where they're an Academy player but Forest haven't listed them in an age group.

Aina for number 23? He seems to like high numbers

 

[incident]

Aina for number 23? He seems to like high numbers

Can't remember the details, but there was some reason given when he changed from 43 to 34 as to why he liked having 3 and 4. So don't see him changing again.

 

[Chappers85]

From what I remember, I think 34 is the number he likes, but wasn't available when he signed so had the inverted 43 - didn't Beckham have 32 at AC Milan because 23 wasn't free? - and then switched as soon as it was available. I'm guessing a lot these stupid high numbers are all about players' "brands". I still would love Nuno to tell him he's having 2 and that's that. Even 12 would be better.

 

[king_congo_red]

Added Jair Cunha to the unknown group.

 

[king_congo_red]

Removed Elanga.

 

[king_congo_red]

Jonathan Panzo has left Forest

Have a source for this? Cant find anything official and he’s still listed as our player on Transfermarkt and Wikipedia.

Apparently NENA is big in Brazil..... you old boys will know what I mean.

 

[king_congo_red]

Updated with numbers for Carmo, Stamenic, Taylor and O’Brien - based on the Chesterfield friendly.

 

[king_congo_red]

Updated loan status for young Gardner

 

[adamthered]

Igor has chosen shirt 19, in my opinion

 

[Chappers85]

Igor has chosen shirt 19, in my opinion

That's a good choice when 9 and 10 are already occupied. Hope it's true. I don't want to see any 99 bollocks.

 

[Marco Pascolo]

Have a source for this? Cant find anything official and he’s still listed as our player on Transfermarkt and Wikipedia.

Yeah Panzo gone, Just have a look on his Instagram has been training with Rio Ave like normal, I found it strange that the club didn't announce it on transfermarkt as Rio Ave player as well

 

[Marco Pascolo]

That's a good choice when 9 and 10 are already occupied. Hope it's true. I don't want to see any 99 bollocks.

Id say its true, with the 99 no being aloud and he wore 19 for Brazil and for his first club

 

[king_congo_red]

Updated with the new intake of U18s
Removed Lemonakis - who appears to have been quietly released.
Removed Panzo - who has updated on Transfermarkt, but not Wiki.

 

[Est.1865]

That's a good choice when 9 and 10 are already occupied. Hope it's true. I don't want to see any 99 bollocks.

9 and 10 might be available by September

 

[king_congo_red]

Added Sillah.
