Yeah, I got that, but I still checked to see who else had worn it before Lingard and Chicharito(the ones I have seen wearing that shirt, not counting Tosic).
Didnt know about the rule change ~1995, thanks for that. Makes sense.

Where do you see them trying to do that?
I've seen an introduction and welcome like every other new signing gets.
You're seeing what you want so you can fit it into your negative stance.
There is absolutely the possibility that I'm wound up by the fact we're not addressing our major problems, (without quick-fix bandages), while the other teams around us are strengthening significantly.
Hopefully we can sell him for a few mill next year and then sign someone in their prime. We dont need to carry this one out until his retirement, there should be no sentimental feeling.
Brilliant Christmas film tbh.
How about you wait and actually see what he looks like?
I dont need to because I know hes gonna be very good. But I also know that we don't need to keep him until his performance starts degrading.How about you wait and actually see what he looks like?
You also don’t know when his performances will start to decline. I doubt Madrid regret keeping Modric on into his mid thirties.
What a weird way of looking at it, what if we sell him and he was another 2 'very good' years?
After losing Greenwood, Eriksen is arguably our best two footed player at the club now.
I’m kind of with you as much as it pains me - I have no issue with any of the players we have signed. However, we’re 8 days away from the season starting, everyone can see midfield and attack were the areas in need of strengthening, the club briefed those were the priority areas, ETH said it in his conference and we’ve done nothing outside of Eriksen on a free. It’s genuinely batshit bonkers. Okay we’re waiting for FDJ - why haven’t we signed at least one forward? Regardless of Ronaldo we need one so where are they?
Then we get some money and he has 2 good years elsewhere.
Huge pressure on him after the last player to wear it . I hope he copes
Very pop culture reference there.
Yeah, Eriksen needs to perfect his cringe dance moves after scoring a goal if he wants to keep the shirt.
I get it, I´d like a couple of more signings too.
I like the ones we have already gotten though; we needed some fire and determination defensively which we got in Martínez and we needed some ball control and creativity in the midfield which Eriksen will provide (I think he´ll play deeper than others think). Malacia looks very interesting and Shaw needs a kick up his arse.
But I agree, we are not done yet if we want to be competitive this year.
The De Jong saga is weird but I dont think our club is to blame for that, that´s a catalonian mess - hope it gets resolved sooon as I´m getting bored of it, and we need some new blood in the attack as well.
And even if I dont think anyone expected all our problems would get fixed in the first transfer window, there´s even still 4-5 weeks left of it.
Not that it matters but I thought he was going to take 18 and play the Scholes role
Ah yes the classic 18 position
Ronaldo is and it’s not particularly close.
Nope.
Compare and contrast with Ronaldo who’s scored over 3 times as many goals with his right than he has with his left.
Groan…..
To be fair, the pull of wearing Jesse Lingard's old number is much stronger than Scholes' number. How many TikTok followers did Scholes have? Exactly.
This is actually a myth, plenty of teams are still waiting
Scholes can hit a tree from 40-50 yards, can Lingard do that?
Shame Scholes never played with Fellaini, we could have seen Scholes hitting moving tree from 30-40 yards.
Varane is actually the most 2 footed player in the league, only plays 59% of all passes with his stronger right foot. Eriksen is at 76%, Ronaldo is at 84% (fbref).
I think our season hinges on him being able to play as an 8. We're not going to get far with McT starting week in week out. But he is a classy player, Mata with the legs to play regularly.
Can you please point to where they’re hyping him up as a sort of a demigod? Was that in the implied meaning of the keepie uppies video?
Varane maybe too footed but his quality of two footedness is mediocre.
Disagree there, his passes look pretty good on his weaker foot and frequently opens up interesting angles as a result.
90th percentile for centerbacks with his pass completion... he's good on the ball. He's not a playmaker from the back, but he is good and reliable when fit. His problem is injuries, let's not start saying that he is mediocre because of bad fitness.
Its not mediocre at all, he was pinging passes with his left foot like its his strong foot.
ridiculous. Purely based on age.
No white text?
Yes so?
So what you're saying is idiotic and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Modric is 36, he started a UCL final and won.
If Eriksen can still deliver the goods even at 45 then it would be dumb to sell.
Mind you he's just 30.
