As for your comment above, then I just pity you. That's all I'll say. Erasing history and symbolism like a true Modern Day 21st century man. Striving to be different and refreshing.
I feel very strongly about certain things. Legacy, history, symbolism. Other people just want to be different I guess.
Overreaction?
And I believe that the 19 years old who wasn't hyped that came in a cheap deal should have same opportunity in gaining jersey that is "historic" as the 75M super hyped player we got. If Todibo is here next year and wanted to keep his number then fuck the club if it forced him to leave it for marketing reason, that will be a move of 21st century establishment that cares only about generating money, and far from "history & symbolism" you are whining about
That is why numbers aren't retired from football, so that those kids can dream to hold such numbers one day.
Remember board wanting Neymar to get Neymar number 11 was considered one of the reasons they didn't fight to keep Thiago
