It looks like there are only three viable options for the Philadelphia Union’s newest signing.
When Alejandro Bedoya eventually takes the pitch for the Philadelphia Union, he’ll need a shirt number. While with Nantes Bedoya wore 7, however that’s Brian Carroll’s number. With the United States he wears 11, however that’s Fabian Herbers’ number. With Rangers and Helsingborgs, he wore 20 which is Walter Restrepo’s number. And while it may be customary in most sports for the incoming player to buy his number from a player, he may not be able to do that with MLS’ merchandise already stocked.
