Is this penny pinching by clubs?
QPR lose one Matt Smith to Millwall and then take on another Matt Smith from Man City.
Back in June Blackburn lost Paul Downing to Portsmouth and took on Stewart Downing from Middlesborough.
I wonder if they are allocated the previous players number as well?
As shirts generally only have surnames on them they have saved having to get new transfers made and even their programmes can still just show the same name.
