Well there is no news about Assaidi leaving just yet, don't you think it'll be a bit unprofessional to take a number away from a player and give it to a new signing. I'm only speculating on vacant numbers, and tbh I can see Alberto and Iago getting two of 9,17,18,23.

His 1st interview:

Spanish forward Iago Aspas completed his transfer to Liverpool on Sunday night and declared: 'It was an easy choice'.

The 25-year-old sealed a switch to Anfield from La Liga outfit Celta Vigo, becoming Brendan Rodgers' third signing of the summer.

"It wasn't a tough decision at all," Aspas told Liverpoolfc.com. "I'm really happy to have come to a big club like this one.

"Having weighed up all my options for this window, a massive club like Liverpool was always my first choice."

Aspas fired 12 goals in 34 league fixtures during 2012-13 to help Celta avoid relegation from the Spanish top flight.

"I am a quick and skilful player," he explained when asked about his key attributes, before sending a message to Liverpool fans: "Together we will achieve a lot of success.

"I've not had the chance to talk with the manager at any length just yet but I think that good players can slot into any role and not just one set position."

Aspas also revealed that he has been following the Reds' fortunes on television and recalls one famous night from the club's history in particular.

"I don't know a huge amount but I've learned things from watching them on TV and of course I know all about the last two Champions League finals having seen them live on TV," he added.

I'd like to be involved in the sig bet as well. Although I won't be changing my name if I lose as I only have one more chance to change it.

by Fahim89 Mon Jun 24, 2013 5:09 pm

Damn after all this interest I just fell more in love with my sig rofl

Now then lets bring this wager to life!!

@ynwa bet 11

@Mcagger yours would be?

I will thing of something else apart from the name change. . as it clearly is too awkward! Laughing

There are so many options ffs. Sturridge could take 23 (the number he as at Chelsea or 9) but he will most likely stay at 15 as a lot of people have bought his name on the back with 15.

So that leaves 23 and 9 still available. 9 seems too big a number for Aspas.

I'll go with 23
