Mantis Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Going to wear the number 24 shirt apparently. Let's hope he's better than the last Carlos who occupied that shirt I wonder if it's because 2 + 4 = 6? I remember reading ages ago that Yorke chose the number 18 shirt because it added up to 9 and that was the real number he wanted. I still remember the joke going round when Beckham signed for Real Madrid - he chose 23 because he thought that 2+3=7. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Glad he is in. Let's hope he is the enforcer we need. And let's hope he is played in the position that he needed, unlike the last dm we brought. Best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Can't hurt that he'll be working with Paul Lambert and Roy Keane on the training ground either. Well done to all involved! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about the season now. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Fingers crossed, the signings of Cissokho and Sanchez will convince Vlaar, Delph and Grealish that new contracts need to be signed. Our team is, dare I say it, shaping up nicely! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'm looking forward to seeing the difference in our defence this year. Newcastle should be a good test for the new defensive unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Fingers crossed, the signings of Cissokho and Sanchez will convince Vlaar, Delph and Grealish that new contracts need to be signed. Our team is, dare I say it, shaping up nicely! We can now virtually put out an XI that played no, or very little part last season. Key question is has the quality in the team improved? I believe it has, and we'll certainly be imposing at the back now. Set pieces should be good too with N'Zogbia, Bacuna and Westwood. With Delph given a bit more freedom and the emergence of Grealish I think we'll be alright over the season. Can't wait for Libor and Benteke to return.

Ginko Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Going to wear the number 24 shirt apparently. Let's hope he's better than the last Carlos who occupied that shirt I wonder if it's because 2 + 4 = 6?

I still remember the joke going round when Beckham signed for Real Madrid - he chose 23 because he thought that 2+3=7. Ha, I never heard that one In all seriousness though, I believe he chose the number 23 because it was made famous by Michael Jordan.

samjp26 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Anybody know if he can speak any English? Also is the fee announced, I've seem £1.5 million to £4,5 million. Think closer to the £4.5m mark but it is split between however many parties. Anybody gonna grab a Sanchez shirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
