Jackboi:Are numbers really that important? Bebe could have number 7 for all I care as long as we win the league.
I think everyone would prefer us to win the league over giving a player a number on the back of his shirt, that is obvious. What is exciting is what fergie see's in our players and who he thinks is capable of taking the shirt on, if he gives it powell then he will know that he could go on to be a top player and a star player for us, if he gives it to kagawa then its the same for him. The shirt has been held by some of the best players to ever play for us and the next player to get it will have to either follow that pattern or do something iconic while under the shirt. To give my point of view i dont think powell will get it yet but what do i know.
