afc Fabregas gets the Number 10 jersey

[Afroman]

The midfield maestro was given the most important number in the team. The number 10 is traditionally given to the best or most creative players in a side and the Arsenal man will be hoping to pull all the strings for Luis Aragones' side as they hunt for Euro glory in Austria and Switzerland. Most players have kept their numbers but Fabregas and Villa will be waring different digits below their names. The midfielder thus will no longer wear the number 18 which he wore during World Cup 2006. The Catalan midfielder wore the number 8 when he made his international debut two years ago but he will not be able to take it as now it belongs to Xavi. Fabregas would have loved to wear his Arsenal number 4 for La Seleccion but this will be given to Marchena with Ramos waiting to take it in future. The other slight change with the former Barcelona player is that he will have "Fabregas" printed as the name on the shirt rather than "Cesc". Meanwhile Valencia hit-man David Villa will be wearing the number 7 jersey which belonged to Raul. The Real Madrid man was dropped by Aragones and thus his jersey is taken by Villa. The rest of the players keep the same numbers.

goal.comGood look for him. Looks like he is going to be key player for the spanish squad.

"For Spain the shirt reads "Cesc", for Arsenal it says "Fabregas", and Fabregas is better than Cesc."

Good look for him but can't see him starting really. wOuld have thought iniesta and xavi we're ahead of him in the pecking order. Either way it doesn't matter - spain will flop.

[darkman]

Not necessarily Ramos has got 16, cant see him not starting

[anelka]

The no.10 means nuttin 4 Spain, dunno why people r creaming themselves when it clearly states he couldn't have the number he wanted

What number did Eusebio wear for Benfica? Besides 10 is always the playmaker number.
