Numbering up - The 2011 Squad numbers

So it's slowly all coming together; the new players have been introduced, 2011 jersey has been unveiled and now the 2011 squad numbers has been released. The good news is now I can pick who's squad number I want, the bad news is I don't know who's number I will pick. Well in due time I will my my choice, but until then this is how the squad will number up.

1. GK Norihiro YAMAGISHI
2. DF Keisuke TSUBOI
3. MF Tomoya UGAJIN
4. DF Matthew SPIRANOVIC
5. MF Shunki TAKAHASHI
6. DF Nobuhisa YAMADA
7. MF Tsukasa UMESAKI
8. MF Yosuke KASHIWAGI
9. FW EDMILSON Dos Santos Silva
10. MF. Marcio RICHARDES
11. FW Tatsuya TANAKA
12. DF Koji NODA
13. MF Keita SUZUKI
14. MF Tadaaki HIRAKAWA
15. FW Sergio ESCUDERO
16. FW Hiroyuki TAKASAKI
17. DF Mitsuru NAGATA
18. GK Nobuhiro KATO
19. DF Shunsuke TSUTSUMI
20. DF Satoshi HORINOUCHI
21. FW Kazuki HARA
22. MF Naoki YAMADA
23. MF Jun AOYAMA
24. FW Genki HARAGUCHI
25. GK Koki OTANI
26. DF Mizuki HAMADA
27. MF Shuto KOJIMA
28. DF Takuya OKAMOTO
29. FW Marcelino Junior Lopes Arruda "MAZOLA"
30 GK Ryota MIKAMI
31 FW Ranko DESPOTOVIC

Team Manager: Zeljko PETROVIC
Head Coach: Adrie BOGERS
Coach: Osamu HIROSE
GK Coach: Hisashi TSUCHIDA
Asst. Coach: Hiroaki NAGAMINE

A few interesting squad number changes this year, but I think the biggest change would be assigning Edmilson Urawa's #9 Jersey. Eji is the only third player to wear the number 9 for the Reds', which puts him in an exclusive group of players. Always thought that the 9 jersey was reserved for an Urawa junior, so it would have been good to see Haraguchi or Escudero in the number 9, but saying that it doesn't mean that he doesn't deserve the 9 jersey. Another noticeable squad number change is Naoki Yamada taking Yuki Abe's 22 jersey. As for the new signees Richardes has taken the 10, Nagata has Eji's old number 17, Hara has 21, Aoyama has 23 and Kojima has 27.
