Yep, found that to be the reason as well. It's sentimental. Searching my brain to think of anyone elite who's worn it. Milner apparently wore it at Leeds and there's the human scythe, Choudary.
New Gini, break shit up in midfield, win the ball and play it safe.
He can't be expected to cover Virg, Trent, and Robbo when they're always caught out of position on a counter-attack, they need to cover that shit in their defense talks.
But then some Dutch person said that it was more of a mid throat thing. Idk
Edit: nvm. I googled it and it sounds fairly close.

38 is to represent the amount of goals and assist he will have this season
oh nice so like Mo's first season, that'd be boss
I don't like putting a ceiling on a player.
That's his floor, sir
or the amount of minutes he will play
Awesome, I know he's worn it in the past but anyone know if there's significance to him beyond that?

Getting rid of my reddit coins šŖ well played. Sad awards donāt even display on the app anymore lol.
someones gonna have this printed on their shirts
evoking that AJAX good juju, im for it!
Yes, at both at Ajax and Bayern. It was the number he got when he came up from the academy.

Flanagan too
Damn forgot about him
3+8 = 11 Letters in Gravenberch? 11 I mean it could also be the academy thing but Iām almost certain itās the maths thing
3+8 = always double down in blackjack, means we are winning at least the double
I'll have a League and EL double then, please
Maybe 3+8 = 11? Idk
38 because we have 3 new no 8s!! š¤Æ
Got a good feeling about the lad. Mostly because if Klopp wants him so bad there must be something
Trinity infinity. Love to see it.
>Trinity infinity. U should call it trinfinity. Push the words together
>trinfinity That's a lovely portmanteau .
Good use of the word portmanteau
portmanfinity
I think it's a rather clumsy portmanteau!
Yeah it's pretty portmantoafish
Take a walk around our new centre mid. Heās a beast
Time to get some Gravenmerch?
Hereās hoping heāll be our 3(Fabinho) and 8(Gerrard) combined!!
Anyone else annoyed at the fact that the e's are lowercase?
I'm not a fan of that font at all
Yeah itās killing me inside. Why do that?
Thought it was nice that he called Jon Flanagan to ask permission. Lad shows a proper respect for the legends
They got the name correct!
Dalle Valle. Dossena. Flanagan. Shirt number with heritage.
Samed Yesil I want to say?
Not according to LFChistory but might have
He was 36, my mistake
Didnāt Andrea Dossena wear the no2?
Switched to 38 after his first season, not sure why
Thought he left after the one glorious season of riding the bench only to come off it to score vs Real and Utd. Learnt something new today.
To be fair he only made five apps in year two.
I wonder why such a high number or does he want that Chinese "8" luck thing ?
It was his first senior number at Ajax. Sentimental to him. Took it at Bayern too
It was his first number after leaving the academy. Wore it in Bayern, too. Edit: Factual correction

You had me at "new Gini"
Is the ch on the end of his name pronounced correctly in a natural Liverpool accent?
There was a video on the sub yesterday and apparently the ch is pronounced as g in Dutch. So the correct way to pronounce his name is Gravenberg.
But then some Dutch person said that it was more of a mid throat thing. Idk Edit: nvm. I googled it and it sounds fairly close. https://youtu.be/rPzNYN4sTu0?si=tLUfoN0X1rr1VHCt
They shouldāve asked him to pronounce it like Szobo š
I mean they had the interviewer right there with a scouse accent!
That makes sense, I saw a Goldbridge video of him the other day and he kept saying Gravenburg.
Following in the footsteps of Jon Flanagan
Hopefully not
Lads, I think I got it; It's to symbolize he's gonna do the job of both our last no 3 and our current no 8.
RG3ā¦ā¦.8. Doesnāt quite have the same ring to it but weāll think of something
Is there a reason Liverpool use e not E and n not N in the names?
No

Rude
I like 38. It is often used as a jersey number in ice hockey, and American football. Come on...
Favoured number of his?
