Advantages of important news this morning concerning the shirt numbers, with the new signature Liam Delap which chose its own, and Cole Palmer changes its own.
Delap, who said he’s there to win trophies and chew chewing gum – and he is already out of Bubble -Gum – A opposite To take the classic shirt n ° 9. He wore this number for the youth teams of Manchester City And England (it was n ° 19 in Ipswich) and it is obviously appropriate for a large central advantage, although it is also a rather cursed number for us.
Of course, he decorated the back of Gianluca Vialli, Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink, Hernán Crespo and Tammy Abraham since the permanent shirt numbers were introduced in 1993, but we have not been lucky for decades now. He remained empty last season, while before, he belonged to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Romelu Lukaku (MK.II), Gonzalo Higuaín, Álvaro Morata, Radamel Falcao, Fernando Torres, Franco Di Santo, Mateja Kežman, Chris Sutton, Steve Sidwell, and even Khalid, Boulahrouz, a central back.
Good luck, Liam!
Chelsea also has confirmed An intriguing switch for Cole Palmer, who reduced his number by half, from n ° 20 to n ° 10. As for Delap, it is an appropriate assignment for our most creative player who orchestrates our attack. Palmer was also n ° 10 of England U21.
The intriguing part is that it belonged to Mykhailo Mudryk last season. Mudryk is of course suspended for a positive doping test, and although this suspension is officially still “provisional”, Palmer taking its number only reinforces the idea in reality, it is really non -provisional. That said, Palmer has certainly won him on merit.
In any case, before Mudryk catches it, the number belonged to Eden Hazard, Juan Mata, Joe Cole and Christian Pulisic (and a few others) – certainly an excellent company for the young Cold Palmer.
