not wanting ot read too much into it, but I cant help thinking that the current player numbers system reflects the shift from club to player in terms of focus. Players are no longer doing a job for a club, 1-11 and they fit into their position at the club and on the field. Its now all about them. I'm number 23 and my names Bob Carolgees, forget about the badge its number 23, Carolgees, 23, B.O.B, whats that, your daughter is 23 - no shes fuckin not, I'm 23 - she can be 23 if she pays me. Speak to my agent. buy my socks theyve got 23 on the side.

you're reading way too fucking much into it

Interesting and depressing breakdown . I agree with most of it except I'd shift Holtby and Kane to the "unproven" group. They need a go with some proper coaching and team structure. Kane looks okay to me and Holtby needs direction and discipline.
