7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[mesiesta]

He deserves this number more than anyone else.

 

[Donatello]

8 would have been a better choice. 7 for a CM seems a bit strange.

8 is for Arthur I guess. 14 might go to Vidal.

But, What about Malcom now?

 

[DonAK]

Should have gotten the #7 for Brazil too, but they gave it to fucking Douglas Costa instead.

6 would've been sweet for Arthur.

6 would've been sweet for Arthur.

The undisputed owner of 6 is , no one can even dare to take that.

Jokes apart, I think its because his idol was Iniesta, so 8 seems the best option for him.

And maybe De Jong will get the 6, if he comes.

My friend persuaded me to buy it... only thing that made to dodge that bullet was my finance... phew

Close call.... especially when they are 100euros + with names.. were you going to get it on Nike website?

 

[Donatello]

I guess it has more to do with shirt sales. 7 has always been a popular number, atleast more popular than 14, add to that Coutinho and his popularity.

Sadly no Nike for us in CRO. Only Nike.hr delivers here and they don't have jerseys with No+name available.
Only at the end of the season, they had Messi, Suarez and Iniesta jerseys for an almost full price while the retailers dropped them by 50%.

I am buying from Directprosoccer, Kitbag, SoccerBox, Thegaastore and some other UK/GER sites...
Ebay is also my friend but lately only if it is with tags cause the flood of Chinese copies is overtaking.

P.S. living relatively near sports outlet helps a lot, but those jerseys are without print.

He's changed his number to 7

Let's hope he has a better luck than previous players
Saviola,Arda,Gudjohnsen had little success here. Villa and Larsson had bad luck with injuries too. seems that Figo has cursed that number

 

[Gnidrologist]

I can't make sense of this shit about shirt numbers. Since when they are so important? Because some great player of past accidentally played with certain number? It some sort of numerology then, i presume.

1-11 have a bit more prestige to them.

The number 10 is iconic because of Pele/Maradona/Messi.

How good Villa was well outweighs his injuries.. Larsson singlehandedly won us 2006 CL.. and Pedro was a key part of our best squad ever.. it’s not all bad luck

Makes me think....Good luck to whoever takes #10 from Messi in the future.

That is going to carry a lot of weight.

Pedro wore 17 at the time though. Wasn't as good with the 7.

So he did, forgot about that.. should have realised as Villa was 7 in that same team
