Today is the day that the squad numbers have been assigned and the only big number not with a name is number five. It suggests O'Neill is keeping it free for someone doesn't it?
The full list for the coming season is below and like I've said, the notable missing number is five but we are also missing a number 25, which has been left empty but also Marc Albrighton has been given 12, whereas the other youngsters to get squad numbers are all in the 40's.
