Ok why is it such a big deal if one player switches to a different style of boot? Its his choice....
another thing, i emre isnt in that photo.
Its #24 (Tony Caig i think), #23 Shola Amoebi and #39 Martin Brittain. (from NUFC site hehe)
Yes, that is Emre in that photo - i've just done some Getty research

As for the numbers on the training kits, alot of clubs tend to hand out the kits randomly, not really bothering with handing out specific kits to fit a players number.
Here's an example:
Rooney with 9 for Man U: (see attached pic)
but some clubs, such as Arsenal, do dish the correct numbers to the correct players.
Sorry to sound a bit technical - and I apologise if I have dragged this thread towards the borders of off-topic, as I was simply just trying to help out
