Seems like a lot of dressings for simple arthroscopic surgery?

Nice to see Pickford get 1, though I do feel sorry for Joel. If he's leaving though, nice to have an actual 'number one'.

There's a lot of psychology around those first 11 numbers - I think especially around the number 1.

Kenny's still number 43, but I'd sort of hoped they'd give him a lower number than that if he was as close to the 1st team as we had anticipated/hoped...

This is last season's number. The OS have not updated the page yet.

Is this symbolic of Bolasie being worth half of what we paid for him?

No, it's because he only has one leg........

I was just meaning if it was a minor keyhole op to repair a ligament or clean up some cartilage, then it seemed a lot of holes to cover. Maybe it was something a bit more serious he was having done, which might mean he would be out for longer?

Tarashaj, Dowell, Pennington, Grant, Garbutt, Rodriguez, McGeady.

The abovementioned players were listed as first teamer last season, with no squad number in the latest list. They will be sold or loan out along with Robles and Niasse?

Gutted that Klaassen wasn't 7.

Clive Warren · July 11, 2017

Bolasie shouldn't have got a number.

Transfermarkt website has him listed as suffering a meniscus tear on May 9th. No date for his return.

I believe that Dowell is going to Barnsley on loan, which would be a fantastic move for him if true.

btw, none of Garbutt, Rodriguez or McGeady were given squad numbers last year, so that's wrong.

Kenny and Pennington and Grant etc don't have to be as they're part of the U23s.

No updated number for Kenny. Surprised and a bit miffed.

Edit: also lols at them giving Bolasie 7. That's very optimistic.

Doesn't mean much. If he's good enough (which we all think he is), he'll be in the squad, regardless of the number on his back.

RE: Tarashaj

For the most part, rehabilitation can be carried out at home, although your doctor may recommend physical therapy. Rehabilitation time for a meniscus repair is about 3 months. A meniscectomy requires less time for healing — approximately 3 to 4 weeks. Meniscus tears are extremely common knee injuries.

That would be a great loan for Dowell.
