Varney wore 12 at Crewe though, might be more him asking to be no. 12 for lucky reasons rather than him being ignored for 9 or 10 and dumped with something less fashionable
[cite]Posted By: Oggy Red[/cite]I see many established players have kept their traditional squad numbers despite being obvious first team starting players, eg Jerome Thomas.
Some new players, eg Varney, who we expect to be 1st team at £2.5 million, is only 12.
Diawara keeps 5 - so mayber Pards keeps Diawara......?
diawara has been promoted - he wore 23 last year, that might tell us he stays even more emphatically
Eyesore, good point about Varney being 12 at Crewe and wanting to keep his 'lucky' number.
And Diawara, getting the traditional centre half number 5 . I hope he stays.

7, Sinclair 8, Ambrose 11
Can't remember the rest.
Don't think you can take much from that, as 1 to 11 were the 11 who started the game...
That makes sense, Medders - if Pards hasn't yet released squad numbers.
Perhaps he was waiting to sign the '2 new players' ?
Unfortunately, I think you're right though.

Exceptions include Danny Murphy, who wore 13 at Liverpool and, of course, at Charlton.
Some new players, eg Varney, who we expect to be 1st team at £2.5 million, is only 12.

Shaun Bartlett was the previous number 17 and hasn't really left the club.
Maybe Cory Gibbs is a pseudonym for Barts - and we don't see much of Gibbo/Barts because he was away scoring a goal against Spurs recently?
