Who will fill the vacant numbers from our current squad?

At the moment we have numbers 3, 6 and 7 available from the traditional 1 to 11. By the start of next season, we may have 5 and 10 as well but that's up for debate, just not in this thread.

So from our current squad who would you give those numbers to? (note current squad - i.e. not Villa, Barry, Silva or Postman Pat)

For me number 3 has always been a full backs number so I think Insua may be given that number for next season since it looks like he has a big part to play in the future of the club.

Number 6? Well I'd love Skrtel to get that number. It's a centre halves number, traditionally, and who better to wear it than somebody who is always dependable. Although six has often been our ball playing centre half, (Hughes, Hansen, Babb). Not too sure on who else would be in conetention for that number.

Number 7? Well there's a few possibilities. Masch would be my choice to add a bit of magic around the number 7 again because he is one of those players who can be relied on. Babel was the favourite at the start of this season but after disappointing more often than not this year I don't think there'll be as much hype surrounding him and the number 7 this summer. Xabi is a possible but 14 is his favourite number although I remember hearing he's waiting for big Sami to retire then have the number 4 shirt as that was the number his dad wore. Kuyt for me will actually be handed the number 7 shirt though, it was his number for Feyenoord and I think he is a consistant performer. Being one of the first names on the team sheet, I think it makes sense to give it to Kuyt.

3. Albiol

6. Barry

7. Silva (but I'd rather Villa)

I can see those happening even though Rafa has dismissed Silva and Albiol, who remembers when he ruled out going for Torres in March and went for him in August?

3. Insua/Aurelio

6. Alonso/Skrtel

7. Kuyt/Pacheco/new player.

10. Again Pacheco/Nemeth/new player.

16. (If Pennant leaves) Again Pacheco/Nemeth/Spearing etc or new player.

3.Insua
6.Mascherano/Barry(if he comes to liverpool)
7.Kuyt/Riera
10.Benayoun

10.Benayoun

Benayoun moved to No. 15 at the start of this season because it's his favourite number.

3. insua

6. albiol ( if he arrives )

7. lennon/silva

benayoun isnt suited to the number 10 i dont think, i think possibly the next striker that walks through the door, possibly henry or eto'o?
but if henry comes to anfield then no doubt he would want 14 so then alonso could get the number 10 shirt?

3. Insua

6. Skrtel

7. Spearing

i'm liking the spearing choice.

Maybe Spearing to No. 6?

Alonso to number 7.

I think we should stop giving that shirt to new arrivals who turn out to be flops.  It should be earned.

Insua to number 3 perhaps?

And Spearing to number 6 sounds decent.

3. Aurelio
6. Skrtel/Masch
7.Gerrard

7.Gerrard

Nah, 8 is Gerrard, Gerrard is 8.

7.Gerrard

Gerrard made no.8 his own so why will he change to no.7?

3. Insua
6. Skrtel
7. Alonso/Kuyt

And Spearing can take Alonso/Kuyt number if either changes to no.7.

3 Insua
6 Skrtel
7 Kuyt

3 Insua.

6 Skrtel.

7 Kuyt.

10 Alonso.

Can people not read? Current squad is bold, thus meaning, Barry, Villa, Silva, Postman pat etc can not be chosen. Sheesh.

Anyway, same as everyone really..
3. Insua
6. Skrtel
7. Kuyt

Arby to 3
Masher to 7
Skrtel to 6
Alonso to 10.

Agree with most on here

Insua-3 traditionally a left backs number

Skrtel-6 self explanatory

Kuyt-7 I just cant see Masch given this number he is a defensive mid and the number 7 is traditionally associated with attacking minded players (some prolific ones like Kewell and Keane) Dirk works his balls of every game and has proven this season he can pop up wiht crucial goals.

Spearing - 6
Insua - 3
Kuyt - 7 (I think he deserves it )
- 10
Agger- 5 ( I really hope he will still be here next season)
What number do you guys suggest for Darby ...I don't think 10 will suit him .
And what numbers suggest for Nemeth and Pacheco who have a good future at this club .
And IF Silva comes I'd give him the number 10 of Johnny Barnes .

Arbeloa chose 17 as his preference.

3 - Insua
6 - Skrtel
7 - Dirk Kuyt

10 should be a striker's.

Dirk Kuyt as No.7?  Behave!

I tell you in my lifetime there will be at least one player that was worthy enough to pull on the No.7 shirt in his first season.

And I reckon it could be David Villa.  Could be wrong though, if Rafa hasn't got Silva money then we can forget the thought of Villa...

Well he will do it more justice then the last few 7's that we had.

Really tired of this Villa and Silva business let them earn their F***ing stripes first. If anybody in the present squad has earned the 7 it has been Dirk. Besides  the thread clearly does state our CURRENT squad.
