Number 7 what the f... Why!? Yeah so what its lost its luster but Garnacho is both the right profile and the right potential.

Mason Mount's Many Misfortunes

It’s incredible how people care so much about a fecking number
I said yesterday after watching it that it came across a bit cold and emotionless.
Thankfully Garnacho signed a new contract.
Strikes me as the type who would throw a strop at this, given his campaign to get the #7.
I wonder if the club disapproved of his campaign and this is a way of keeping him in check. ETH has been critical of his attitude in the past.

I am a lot more bothered by it than I want to be.
That video of him with blonde hair reading off a prepared statement written by his PR team is a disgrace. Saying nothing would have been better.
a real chelsea fan would want the best for him and wish he goes on to finish top four this year, at the expense of his old club.
Surprised that Mount getting the number 7 shirt. What an awful and confusing decision!
19 if Varane intends to take 4.
look at all of you, making a mount out of a molehill.
Surely it's not that far fetched to see Mount will start ahead of him. So LW we have Rashford, Garnacho, Mount ahead of him in the pecking order, RW Antony, Mount and probably Bruno in honesty ahead of him, 10 Bruno, Mount definitely ahead of him. We can't have a sub on his wages that rarely plays. Do you disagree?
No need to imply anything when I am spitting facts fam
I dont think there's was anything wrong with it. It's more personal than a written statement which is what all players give.That video of him with blonde hair reading off a prepared statement written by his PR team is a disgrace
He does have that Beckham about him. Great choice.
I think at the very least, he adds more production to the team in the form of goals and assists. That's something we massively lack
I’ve also seen Rice a lot and his passing / ability in tight spaces comes as utterly meh. That said I think he suits Arsenal so let’s see. Mount is much more complete than people think and I can see him being an important player this coming season. In an ideal world I’d sign neither for United but given ETH rates him highly I’m intrigued to see how he performs as I see him surprising many with his quality.
Disastrous decision to give him number 7. This transfer has a disaster written all over it now.
He's going to have step his game up from here.
I was fine with him coming in to bolster our options, he's good without being great and would be a good signing for that, but the number 7 suggests we plan for him to be a key player for us. Nothing I’ve seen suggests he's good enough for that but lets wait and see how the season goes.

I'm so delighted with this. Pour more and more gas on the fire for those who have barely watched him play and don't understand that we've just signed an excellent player. Please someone make a threat about the history of the number 7 shirt and how this a is a disgrace, pretty please.
United clearly don’t care about shirt sales or trying to restore the prestige of that number then. The amount of pressure that will be on his is insane.
I am not fussed about the number 7 anyway, it stopped being a legendary number since 2009.
I'm fine with the signing in theory as long as we sign a GK (very likely) and a Striker (who knows) still. My biggest concern is the fact that we seem to be getting priced out of all the decent strikers having just splonked £55m+ on this guy. Hopefully it's all hearsay and nonsense.
When we had Ronaldo we had a better team and footballs greatest ever manager. This is the era of unfulfilled potential at United with young players often not kicking on. I’d rather not give it to a kid now - not that it’s as important as people here think.
If you've been supporting United for more than 20 years then the number 7 is significant. Just because the dickheads who own our club have made a mess of it recently, doesn't mean the tradition is no longer important.
Seems I’m not? Why would I care about Chelsea fans being overly sensitive
His profile as a player and the contract we gave him suggested he was going to be a key player for us. The number he wears on his back doesn't make a difference.
I actually see why numbers are retired in the NBA now. 7 after Ronaldo should have been retired.
Marquee signing for the number 7 shirt.
That video of him with blonde hair reading off a prepared statement written by his PR team is a disgrace
I mean to be fair he has left a small club in London to come to the biggest club in the country in the best City in the country. Must be on cloud 9, still had the class to pretend to be sad bless him, he's a good egg.
*Mount Says Nothing*
How dare Mount not say anything to the club that’s given him everything for the last 18 years! Absolute disgrace!
Can’t understand the decision behind it. But that could mean he is indeed ETH most wanted/favourite player, which is not a surprise as he had been following him closely since his time at Vitesse.
He wore 7 in Chelsea youth system?
Last midfield player to wear a 7 was Robson.

I personally loved his statement. Made it seem like he couldn’t give two fecks about Chelsea, which will boil their fans piss even more.
Glad he signed, but the task of wearing the iconic number 7 is one big hill to climb. The last central midfielder to wear that number to great effect was no other than Bryan Robson.
That's A LOT of pressure.
That's A LOT of pressure.
What decision?
To bring him in?
He's not even the most iconic Manchester United player to wear that shirt number, in my opinion.
People will inevitably lose their shit but this will help reduce pressure/spotlight on Garnacho.
Legacy.
Best, Robson, Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo
Now it's seems it's for the average player. It's what we get now, Owen, Valencia, Mason bloody Mount.
He is average at best, so to see him wearing 7 suggests no one cares about the past history of that number.
Can see why some don't care, and why others are disgusted.
I'm fairly certain Garnacho would have signed the contract regardless of whether or not he can wear a particular number on his back.
The 7 is cursed, puzzling that people would want to give it to our promising forward.
