This time last year I seem to remember a lot of us fans scouring the squad list announcement for clues and homing in on the vacant number 8 spot. This time it’s Laursen’s number 5, but let’s face it, everyone knows we need to find a top notch replacement for Laursen!

Just as interesting, Stewart Downing takes whatshisface’s old number 6.

And in my best DJ voice:- Marc Albrighton is this week’s highest climber, moving up from 45 to number 12!!

There will doubtless be one or two other additions, but it’s the number 5 shirt that I’m interested to see filled. I’m sure you are too.
