No sign of Obafemi or Churlinov. Although squad is that bloated could easily be others i've forgotten about!

[Steddyman]

Edwards in the number 10 role.

[NewClaret]

Edwards in the number 10 role.

Pretty much what I expected. I don’t think Parker will trust Edwards in a wide position this year. Messi role for him, I think.

Not given numbers, expected to leave.

[NewClaret]

Foster 9 suggests what I expected - Foster to start up front as squad stands.

Sonne and Sambo probably off on loan. Benson loses 10, also likely to leave.

[Rileybobs]

Edwards in the number 10 role.

Edwards in the number 10 shirt is not the same as Edwards in the number 10 role.

[Rileybobs]

Foster 9 suggests what I expected - Foster to start up front as squad stands.

It really doesn’t.

[ksrclaret]

The “number 10” role in a Parker team is a highly demanding role physically, and you have to be the one to lead the press. Brownhill and Hannibal shared that role last season, occasionally with Sarmiento earlier in the season.

There is no way that Edwards will be played in that position as some are suggesting, despite being given the number. If we play a version of 343 then I could see him taking up an inside right role.

Hopefully we can get shut permanently, Delcroix and Benson as well.

Fair point. I don’t actually think we’ll play a traditional 10 actually as per last year, but I think if he does play, I don’t think it will be on the wing. I’m more of an attacking midfield role, as you say.

[NewClaret]

It really doesn’t.

I think it’s significant else he’d have left Foster with 17 or whatever he was and left the 9 free for a new signing. He also started in the stronger team that played Huddersfield. Only a few weeks to go now and we’ll find out if he starts him, anyway.

I think it’s quite likely that players were given the option to change shirt numbers. I really wouldn’t read anything into it.

[Darnhill Claret]

I like the number allocation.
You can tell that the players have had considerable input.

I’m not convinced we played with a traditional 10 last year either. It was more of a third centre mid who got himself up with the forward without the ball.

If Edwards is selected in an attacking mid position, he’ll need a lot of legs around him. 2 deeper in midfield and then Hannibal to the left of him probably. It'll be exciting to see how we line up at Spurs and then against Sunderland.

[NewClaret]

In that case wouldn’t some of those players fancied 1 and 8?

You can definitely read the players that are likely to be moving on from those squad numbers so not sure it’s true that nothing can be read in to the promotions either.

Well the number 1 shirt only became available yesterday and would always likely be reserved for our number one goalkeeper which we now don’t have. The number 8 shirt was presumably reserved for Brownhill, and again has only just become available. Like I said, Foster taking the number 9 shirt does not in any way suggest that Parker will start him as our centre forward for the opening game, ditto Edwards playing in the number 10 role - a shirt number which Benson (not a ‘number 10’) previously wore. You’re reading far too much into this.

Yeah, I agree, so not sure why I said that. My thinking was, we likely won’t play him on the wing or start him, but expect he might come on in more of a ‘free’ role depending on whether we need a goal.

Will definitely be exciting to see how we line up.

Okay, will agree to disagree. My money is on Foster starting and Edwards playing more centrally though as things stand.

[Darnhill Claret]

Players have favourite numbers and some have superstitions.

[Silkyskills1]

Pretty much what I expected. I don’t think Parker will trust Edwards in a wide position this year. Messi role for him, I think.

Are you just basing that on the number of his shirt?

[Silkyskills1]

I suppose Foster has at last made the No9 shirt his own. About as close as he will get to playing like one.

[NewClaret]

Are you just basing that on the number of his shirt?

Couple of things really:

I don’t think he’ll have the stamina to do all the tracking back Parker will want in the Premier League, or just be generally strong enough defensively, so I’ve thought for a while that he’ll start more centrally this year.

But taking the 10 and not the 7 may also be a sign of how Parker intends to use him this year, yes.

[BigGaz]

I'm sad about Benson. He's as good a player going forwards as you're likely to see at Championship level. Unplayable on his day.

[Goody1975]

The argument over the number 9 shirt is dependent on Zian Flemming. If he also wanted the 9 then there would be weight in the argument for Foster starting ahead of him. What I do think, is that the group we have will have bigger priorities than which number they are wearing, they seem to be a level headed bunch.

[Commy]

Larsen at number 7. Lets hope he is as good or better than our last Nordic player with that number.

[summitclaret]

I'm sad about Benson. He's as good a player going forwards as you're likely to see at Championship level. Unplayable on his day.

Trouble is it's about a day a year now. He was brilliant, but he's just not strong enough for the PL, sadly.

[Pickles]

Edwards in the number 10 role.

Barnes wore number ten for seven years and not once played the number ten role.

William Gallas wore ten for Arsenal and he was a centre half.

Asamoah Gyan wore number 3 for Sunderland as an attacker

[Pickles]

Asamoah Gyan wore number 3 for Sunderland as an attacker

Very true.

And Frederic Nimani wore number twenty-nine and he wasn't even a footballer.

[Goobs]

According to some on here we will struggle to get anywhere near Derby's record with our lineup of choice to be

Weiss
Walker Steve Worrall Tuanzebe Hartman
JBL Humphreys Anthony
Edwards
Foster

[Hedontplayforyou]

It does surprise me to see Foster getting the number 9 shirt regardless of people saying he may or may not play.

It does suggest that we are banking on him playing a major part this season . Maybe the striker we are trying to sign is a little younger than the others and this could help take the pressure off by giving a different striker a more senior standing

[Commy]

Do they not get to choose their number? I know I have seen on the videos previously when they sign they tell them what numbers are available. Foster will probably have chosen it as it was free not been given it. Doesn't mean he has to be the main striker.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Will be a bit of both from the players and club but Benson was 10 last year and that’s been taken from him. He most certainly won’t have requested it be given to someone else. Which suggests to me he’s leaving

[dvalley69]

They are just numbers!

Sorry Tony, wasn’t aware you’d updated them so quickly as they’d just been released. Did look for an article prior to posting.

Humphreys in midfield?

That's even more bizarre than the suggestion that Edwards will play in the number 10 role and that Foster will be our main striker!

I think that’s the point he’s trying to make to show how daft it is that a lot of people are putting a lot of emphasis on the numbers when it doesn’ really mean anything, saying the players 1-11 are the first choice

As we’ve currently no 1 or 8, Wiess (13) & Humpreys (12) are “next in line” for those positions

[TheFamilyCat]

Do they not get to choose their number? I know I have seen on the videos previously when they sign they tell them what numbers are available. Foster will probably have chosen it as it was free not been given it. Doesn't mean he has to be the main striker.

But imagine the selling point of leaving the number 9 free for a potential incoming striker. "We can offer you the Burnley number 9 shirt, as worn previously by Peter Mumby."

[AlargeClaret]

Crikey , giving Foster the no 9 isn’t great news on the striker front . Presumed we’d be getting shut after yrs of the pretty useless Saffer .

I think anyone getting any number isn’t necessarily an indication that he will play or not. Shurandy Sambo was number 3 last season.

Indeed, they have to be allocated just seems a prestige number . Though I’d love Foster to prove me wrong .

I've seen interviews when players have been asked which number they want.
