Looks like these are new squad numbers for this season, Fullah 12, Mbick 15 and Mwamba 19 stick out, with all the new signings they could have been left with higher numbers.
Squad Numbers seem over-rated these days, given that players tend to have a preference and connection to a particular number these days, rather than No. 1-11 being the main starting eleven.
Same number as last season, unless he leaves I can't see Jones being the kind of guy to take a number off a player forcefully
He did do that to AMB last season though in the expectation that a new number 1 would come in and AMB would leave. Maybe he learned a lesson from that.
I assume neither Tanto nor Kelman want - lower number , 9, for example.
In the Kelmam video, his first choice was 23
Burke was wearing 23 earlier in pre-season as well so obviously wasn't too bothered handing it over. It's a risky choice, one of the most cursed numbers we've had in a long time.
Do when know when the official numbers are released? I have a bet to buy but need the correct number. It's unlikely to change but knowing my luck it will 🤣
Is there a rule in English football where you can't use specific numbers, i.e. Harvey Knibbs couldn't have gone for the Ronaldinho 80 that he used at Milan?
There are many positives to keeping a squad together ahead of the new season but the downside is you get some stinkers like this in the gaps. Olaofe 22? Apter 30? Knibbs 41? Jones out.

Tants taking Chuks' 22 is fine (though I would have given it to Mbick personally)
Apter wears 25 usually, Mannion has that though and Apter's other shirt number is 36 but I believe Gough used that last season and is keeping it.
Knibbs, no clue why he took 41, maybe he loves rice, maybe he grew up at number 41 on whatever street he lived on, who knows.

I don't think so. Though the club may set their own rules 🤷
Think it has to be one or two digits and you keep the same number, though I think if you go on loan someone can have your number, then if you come back you can then have a different number. Michael Jordan 23 started the popularity for that number I think.
And you have to pay some respect to Charlton's greatest number 1, Stuart Balmer.

22 is a backup right back's number. It's bad enough that Chuks had it in the first place
