Not sure it means anything but PNE Twitter just posted a picture of Ben Davies in an interview while wearing a number 6 shirt. All but confirms Boyle's departure?

Earl to get number 3? Maguire 9?
 
Even if it didn't confirm it, there is no point in Boyle having that number anyway.

Davies has rose to prominence last season and deserves a squad number befitting of this.
 
Shirt numbers mean a lot to some players. I know last season, Maxwell was desperate for the No1 shirt and Hugill was desperate for the no9 shirt.

I would expect Fisher to take the no2 shirt and maybe Hughes the no 3 shirt.
It looks like Ben Davies may have been given the no 6 shirt.
If Daryl Horgan stays he may keep the no 7 shirt....likewise DJ with no 11
No 9 is up for grabs and as it stands, Maguire looks to be in pole position for that shirt.

Callum Robinson taking Horgan's #7 shirt.

Moult getting the #9 shirt.

No Callum Roberts, strange there was no announcement.
 
35 players! Need the 7/8, including loans for Hudson and O' Connor, to take place, especially if we are bringing another 2/3 in.

I’ll guess at one more to come in. Unless of course we sell somebody we really want to keep.

Bids still on the table for a defender (Connolly), striker (Moore) and looking at possible wingers to come in, presumably if / when Horgan goes.

8-9 will have to go out plus youngsters out on loan though because as others are pointing out the squad is looking massive.

I imagine Connolly will only come in if we can offload Woods. Otherwise I don’t think it will happen.
 
Can see some of the fringe players such as Vermaji Boyle even Horgan going out on loan if nobody comes in for them by season start...Neil obviously has brought in the likes of Ledson / Storey /Crowe to get games/bench

In this day and age squad numbers mean jack.It's not like old times where 1-11 were regarded as the starters.
Horgan though gone it would appear,but the lad needs to be playing and under AN that wasn't happening.Bodins arrival and auto inclusion spelt the end for DH.
Good luck to the lad wherever he finishes up.
 
See a couple of the 2nd year youths have got numbers - Jack & Adam - plus Tom Stead who finished last season with a bad ligament injury given a chance to prove his fitness.

Mickey Howard & Connor Simpson will probs go on loan again.....

Please Moult has been given 9 as it could mean he is wanted despite what some feel about him.

If nobody comes in for them to sign or on loan, I can see them being paid off before 31 July. Pringle, Vermijl and Boyle in particular. Not so with Horgan who could attract a fee and O' Connor who, unlike the others, has 2 years to run on his contract and so is more likely to go on loan. Doyle will attract a fee. Woods will possibly be kept although, like Spurr, I am sure they are trying to offload him.
Horgan and Woods will probably be replaced if they go.
 
Some people read into squad numbers too much. Antonio Valencia lost the number 7 shirt at Man United, was hardly the writing on the wall for him.

Can't deny it looks ominous for Horgan though, espcially after reports in Ireland.
 
Some players just gave favourite numbers I guess, explains why Moult is 9 over Seanie. Also is this proof that Moult is in Neil's plans?
