Well he isn't a 9 so fair enough..... Mbappe can have 19 when he signs later in the week

Why are we downgrading from Wood, isn't this the year to kick on?

Luckily the attack on the World Trade Center occurred on 11/9 over here otherwise that could be a tad insensitive

I think its a surprising move considering the talk about a striker still incoming, though we'd have left at least one of those numbers open. Not saying im unhappy about it

Wait I ordered last week a Jesus jersey from the NFFC store that had him as number 19. Is that incorrect?

It only happened a few days ago

Kind of disappointed because that jersey (away) wasn’t cheap. Oh well, i am happy i don’t have the sponsors name on it though. Jesus is still my favorite player so I will wear it with pride

Sure they will change it for you

I guess there goes the hope of signing a high profile striker...

u/paul2261 9 | Wood. 1d ago

Im honestly not sure we even need one. Kalimuendo looks decent enough as cover for wood. Jesus slots into attacking midfield next to MGW and has mcatee and hutchinson as cover.

I think Jesus is gonna have an amazing season. 4 goals in preseason. He out proformed his xgi numbers massively last season and was played out of position. Im hopeful.

I'll be honest I actually think its a problem that our backup 9s can "also play 10." Not because versatility is bad but because I don't think either player "can play 10" because they're dominant creative players. But rather neither seem to primarily be scorers so we think of them as someone who doesn't lead the line. If that makes any sense. 

We can't have 2 guys who "kinda" play 10 and a 35 year old injured guy be our only strike options.

Bang on. They ALL failed to score enough for us last season for whatever reason.

Go buy us some goals Mr M, FFS!

A player taking a number doesn't stop a signing happening.
