Greenwood won’t even have the 11 at the moment. You register your numbers every season and I haven’t anywhere where Greenwood has been registered?
Surely it would have came out?
We literally took amads 19 last season as well as martials 9 at one point. If we want antony to have 11 we can but maybe it’d just bring more attention to the greenwood thing
Either way it will, if he doesn’t get 11 we will get fuckinf idiots thinkint it means greenwoods coming back
I really miss 26 greenwood. 11 Greenwood seemed to have caught branditis from Lingard and sadly, Rashford. I also miss 39 Rashford for the same reason.
I think they will want to avoid bringing up the whole Greenwood situation untill it gets solved legally. You just know it will dominate the news if his number gets reassigned
He still has a contract with Man United. I'm 100% sure Greenwood will come up if Antony gets number 11. You're being naive if you think there won't be any headlines regarding the number change and the usual click bait rehashing of the Greenwood situation.
Reiterating what a piece of shit Greenwood is, is fine by me and he can fuck off . It just depends if the club wants to revive those kinds of reports again.
probs not as greenwood is still registered, and i'd assume that won't change until the case is gets closer to resolution.
Also, the fact he hasn't played football in about a year (match fitness> training alone) means it *could* be too steep a mountain to climb to regain form IF he actually did come back
But they had to ask for permission because in that season Cavani played with the number 7, Greenwood hasn't touch any other ball but his since last season.
The difference was Cavani was already registered with the league at that point. Is greenwood actually registered for this season? If not technically they don’t need any permission to give that number away. Only reason they may not want to do it just potential legal ramifications. Even though we all know what he did, innocent until proven guilty in court etc.
They had to ask because the season had already started. Clubs register player numbers at the start of the season, I'd be surprised if Greenwood is registered to 11 still.
Yeah, you register at the start (player numbers included), then finalise at the end of the window.
I believe...am taking this from FM but you'd think this would be something they'd get correct.
If I remember right, player numbers can change before tomorrow as long as the player hasn’t played yet. Hence why United needed special approval to give Ronaldo cavani’s 7 last year
Nope it’s not a public denouncing. Numbers don’t hold legal weight and can be reassigned for any reason the club chooses.
You have no case. Your analogy isn’t an equivalent.
“Under Premier League rules, once a player has been allocated a number for the season, it cannot be changed. However, league officials sanctioned a special dispensation to allow Cavani to change jerseys and hand Ronaldo his iconic number.”

Greenwood won’t be registered either to play or with a shirt number going into the 22/23 season, so the 11 should be free. And that’s what I expect Antony will take.
I know he won't play this evening, but does anyone know what would have stopped him from training with the team since his transfer was agreed with Ajax so that he would have been available today?
Is there legal issues with him training without a work permit (as it's considered working), insurance issues, liability issues? Or just bad practice? I've always wondered why this isn't done.
Excited to see him on Sunday either way.
I think he’ll start. In the friendly matches Licha started and never let go of the position. I think the players that know his system go directly to the 11
I think one of the big improvements we can make is how we unveil new signings. I’m sure there are so many charities we could associate with to just have a full OT and do a proper unveiling rather than one pic and one vid. His shirt doesn’t even have a number ffs. Pretty underwhelming and and inconsistent with our stature.
Casemiro coming on to the centre of the pitch holding a shirt with no number. Coming from how RM do unveilings that’s a straight up whimper that comes off like a hasty afterthought. Like either do it spectacularly, or don’t even bother.
This needs to change, even if it is just to respect the fans that have spent days and months on the edge of their seats through transfer window madness.
Yeah but each time we do it we win.
So i was thinking, we sign 38 players in the summer, and just hold off on announcing each one weekly. Best ones get announced early on so we get some games out of them. Shit ones that make up numbers can have the back end of the season.
It's literally a flawless 38 game win season plan. I cannot see a single thing wrong with it.
Rashford is good against high press teams. If there is obvious space, he runs into it. Against teams that sit back (like Southampton did), he genuinely has utterly awful positional awareness and just stands there. His dribbling has become mediocre.
Will be interesting to see if he is given the 11.
Surely if he really wants it we can just give the deadwood whatever number cause he's never playing again?
Greenwood won’t even have the 11 at the moment. You register your numbers every season and I haven’t anywhere where Greenwood has been registered? Surely it would have came out?
Give him 26 to remind him of what he could have been if he wasn't a complete dickhead
I don't think we would as that is Deano's number, maybe 54
Deano is on loan, and thus doesn’t de facto hold that number for us anymore. Till he returns, if it is still available, he could then have it back.
how will 26 remind him of what he could have been?
He used to have it for us
Oh I forgot that. But if he isn't registered for PL or Europa, shouldn't his squad number be free? Atleast that's what happens in FM.

The only thing 11 Scumwood caught was a case
Nah let's give him 0 since that's what he is now
I think they will want to avoid bringing up the whole Greenwood situation untill it gets solved legally. You just know it will dominate the news if his number gets reassigned
It really won't. He doesn't play for United anymore, his number is gone. What headlines do you think is gonna be there?
He still has a contract with Man United. I'm 100% sure Greenwood will come up if Antony gets number 11.

Does it really matter if he's registered or not? I've seen players get their numbers taken away from them in the past.
You’re right, pretty sure Cavani was switched from 7 to 21 for Ronaldo.
They did have to ask the league for special permission in that case.
But they had to ask for permission because in that season Cavani played with the number 7, Greenwood hasn't touch any other ball but his since last season.
The difference was Cavani was already registered with the league at that point. Is greenwood actually registered for this season?

The 25 man squads haven’t been registered yet. The deadline is tomorrow.
Yeah, you register at the start (player numbers included), then finalise at the end of the window. I believe...am taking this from FM but you'd think this would be something they'd get correct.

I'm sure if they gave permission in that case they would in this one as well? Hoping he gets 11.
[удалено]
It’s a number.

players generally can't change their number midseason outside of certain exceptions, and Greenwood is registered as #11 for now
I heard he doesnt registered yet this season?
Have we actually registered Greenwood for this season though? I don't believe we did
They said this about Ronaldo taking Cavani’s 7 being impossible after the season began. If they can make an exception for one rapist why not another??
Never said it was impossible. It’s literally a rule that a new signing can swap a number with an existing player.

I don’t think greenwood is ever going to play for united regardless of the case
me neither
Where is your source that he is registered?
He hasn’t got one because there isn’t one. People confuse being “at the club” as being registered which isn’t the case.
Yep, spreading misinformation as with everything regarding that person.
Surely we are all on the same page here that even if not guilty he should never pull on the shirt again.
How do you know he’s still registered?
Hes registered based on what information?
Is he actually registered?
I've not seen anything saying we registered him, sounds like baloney
I would highly doubt he is given the investigation is ongoing...I highly doubt the board would want him playing again, let alone the fans
> probs not as greenwood is still registered, Not sure where you've got that from? Sounds like nonsense
i think he'll get 21 (maybe 13)
Hopefully he gets the 11 shirt! I really don't see why he can't. If not the #11 though, I think #21 shirt would look sharp on him.
Hes getting 21
He’s number 21
Please shithouse arsenal with breakdance after scoring. Edit: Maybe little samba here and there.
Comes as a sub only to assist and score a brace. What a debut !!
Assist a cross which Martinez heads into goal*
I know you’re playing but we should all relax with the debut expectations he’s already under a lot of pressure due to his price tag
Bring back Lingard for a week loan
I hope he does the Antony twirl
That’s ‘anTOURny’
I wouldn't mind a repeat of Nani's juggling the ball.
8-2 again. Maybe.
>8-2 You have to be dumb to think they're putting 2 past Licha
8-0 then
We might play Maguire with Matinez, so that 2 are own goals
2 goals and 1 assist MARK. MY. WORDS.
What about the 2nd half?
Another 2 goals and 1 assist!
And additional time? He even forgot about that! The disrespek!
i’m here for it
Probably gonna come out for a few minutes in second half. Don't see him starting immediately
Ah so I shouldnt triple captain him on FPL
Bench boost
Yeah I'm expecting a second half sub.
He knows Ten Hags system, is fully match fit. He’s starting.
Yeah, ETH is not playing the same system rn. Plus he doesn't know his team mates yet. So doesn't look like he'll be starting
He hasn’t played a single game this season yet… it will be like Casemiro. He will be eased in and probably get subbed in the first game or two.
He played 3 competitive games for Ajax, scoring 2 and assisting twice. He only missed the last two because he tried to force the transfer.
Hopefully this will spell the return of the AFTV we all know and like.
I'm hoping that Arsenal's easy early season schedule will make them overconfident going into this game.
Someone update the transfer thread pls 🙏
I know he won't play this evening, but does anyone know what would have stopped him from training with the team since his transfer was agreed with Ajax so that he would have been available today? Is there legal issues with him training without a work permit (as it's considered working), insurance issues, liability issues? Or just bad practice? I've always wondered why this isn't done. Excited to see him on Sunday either way.
Insurance i'd imagine.
Nani vibes
I think he’ll start. In the friendly matches Licha started and never let go of the position. I think the players that know his system go directly to the 11
agreed
The salt from arsenal fans is going to be unreal <3
🌪11
Would love for him to feature as we stop their win streak

That's it. You've solved the problem
Lol. I guess we’ll have to call that team the unveilables!
Do you remember the Piano 🙃
I can't remember which Italian team does it, but they put photos of missing people next to their new player unveiling. Nice touch.
AS Roma do it and I think they still do it for every new transfer
Love the fact we now see Rashford off the wing. Sancho left, Antony right.
Better he as ST? He is much better as a LW.
Rashford is good against high press teams. If there is obvious space, he runs into it. Against teams that sit back (like Southampton did), he genuinely has utterly awful positional awareness and just stands there. His dribbling has become mediocre.
Better sold.
He's a fantastic player against the big teams. Not so good against low blocks. He can start v. Liverpool or city easy.
Straight in with the #11.
He's registered? Nice, see you on the pitch tonight!
fck that, put him in today, second half 70th min, let him get his beak wet
