Confirmed Signing Richarlison

[deipnosophist]

Why give him no30 ffs

I suspect you're not the only Blue absolutely fuuuuming about this. Typical Everton to totally botch this shirt numbering thingy up... the carpetbaggers clumsy fingerprints are all over this balls-up.

 

[deipnosophist]

Good to hear calming words of reason from Baz and Ped. Those two are very well connected and their access to inside the corridors of power within Everton Football Club and the quality of their intelligence, is unimpeachable. Hopefully a modicum of the fume surrounding the shirt numbering debacle can be moderated by Baz and Ped's imminent Toffee TV report.

Now sort that conk out

 

[TheBigIguana]

Maybe he wanted number 30?????

 

[evilwebby]

he’ll need to become an absolute superstar to justify the price tag. Hopefully he’ll at least be an upgrade on Mirallas..

 

[Bilbo]

Who

The player. He wore 70 at Fluminwhosits

 

[Parker]

He supposedly wanted number 70 (his number in Brazil) but the premier league has issues with numbers when there is "empty" shirt numbers in between, which was also the case for Renato Sanches at Swansea who wanted 99. So they settled on 30, or so the twitter story goes.

He's just knocked on looking for me....

Still does my head in that Schneiderlin has number 2... its like when strikers have weird numbers like 2/3 (sure Kone used to do this)... I know they don't mean positions anymore, but still... does my head in.

I thought those 40s-60s are given to academy players. Seen that on wiki Everton reserve page.

 

[chazzle_dazzle]

Reckon he knows anything?

More likely Gylifi has moved to 10 then a major signing....

8 is available he should change to that and he did say 8 is his favourite no in the past.

Who Schneiderlin or Gylfi?

Id prefer someone else as a number 8, just can't get back aboard the Scheiderlin train after last season, he might be improving his performances and that, but his coward performances last season just killed me off.

Does seem Richarlison likes weird numbers tho, he wore 70 for Flumeniese, each to their own and all that!
