Why not?
I mean if he continues on like he has in these past 6 months, Balo might end up a true legend in our most glorious and prestigious club.
I mean I would be overwhelmingly honored if I get a chance to follow up on Balo's #45.
He's building his own legacy with the #45. And so is Steph with the #92.
Free your mind up from the pre-conceptions that football players should be numbered #1-23 and allocated position wise. This is the 21st century.
The larger, uncommon numbers make them stand out, adds character to our young players.
13 Nesta
21 Pirlo
They made their own legacy with these numbers and now look what dipshit is wearing them.
2 De Sciglio
Now this is a Different message altogether. He has taken up the responsibility of THE NO 2 and if he screws this up he will be fucked over more than the guy is number 13 and 21
BECAUSE I dont see any one spewing shit over how Achurby ruined the 13, but hell boateng has his balls in a box because he fucked with THE NO 10.
SO if we go for the legacy, its a more serious effort, a stronger message.
Lets say we bring on Bryan and give him no. 39, he starts performing like shit, then headlines would be Milan's Bryan is shit.
BUT if he were the no. 8, it would say Milan's No. 8 Bryan is shit.
Another Example
Milan's Boateng has sex fracture.
Milan's No. 10, Boateng, has sex fracture.
What looks worse?
What shows that the player is more important?
Legacy is to jizz for.
