I just hope that whoever our CB signing is doesn't take the #5 instead. It will be a clear sign of who the club values more. And we're almost definitely not signing an experienced CB, so...
Rafinha 4 and bartra 5 please. And 6 should be like that unless we find a player that deserves it. Rafinha and rakitic dont the 6. Xavi is too special. I would say retire the number but it won't happen because we need to keep it bellow 25. Too bad, I always wanted barca to retire busi number until that bitter fact.
#12 is reserved for Rafinha.#6 should be kept vacant until Samper/Kaptoum/Suarez etc. step up or for a marquis signing like Kroos/Gundogan/Pjanic/Koke. Rakitic, I believe, will take the #12 that JDS will vacate. I think Deulofeu should take the #17 that Song will leave. If Pedro leaves and Alexis stays, Alexis should get the #7. That leaves the #9 shirt for Suarez.
#12 is reserved for Rafinha.
Actually 4 is also pretty iconic
Cesc wore it, that status is gone
