Kevin Phillips Question

[rockymtn_mike]

Hey What squad number will Phillips be wearing for you guys. I can't find it anywhere.

[RobB]

I don`t know when the squad numbers are released. It should be within the next two weeks though. I would imagine Angel and Vassell will be 9 and 10, unless Vassell is sold, so Phillips will probably be 21 or 22. If O`Leary gave him shirt 9 or 10 it would suggest KP being a regular starter in O`Learys plans.

I think a picture on the OS from the Gallstads game shows him running around in the #10 guernsey

I think these are the squad numbers for next season:

1 Sorensen
2 Delaney
3 Samuel
4 Mellberg
5 Laursen
6 Barry
7 Hendrie
8 McCann
9 Angel
10 Vassell
11 Solano
12 Davis
13 Taylor
14 Djemba-Djemba
15 de la Cruz
16 Berson
17 Whittingham
18 Hughes
19 Ridgewell
20 Phillips
22 Moore
23 Berger


21 is vacant so at least one more signing expected, hopefully Baros.

Looks like Vassell wont be #10, not in claret n blue anyways

I saw some of the pre season games, Philips is number 8, Barry is 11, but i dont know about Berger and Hughes. Though Solano has caught Athletico Madrids interest, he might be on his way.

[RobB]

In pre-season games they are just given shirts 1-11, so it`s not normally an accurate guide. The list I gave above is the squad numbers, Gary Cahill is number 21 with the number 10 free at the moment. Hopefully Baros will fill that one.
