PL Released+Retained Lists

G.K.

Some big names are going:

Premier League ‏@premierleague Premier League clubs' released and retained player lists have been published - released: http://bit.ly/N3u8Wg retained: http://bit.ly/LSbY8l

(Paul Scholes is erroneously on the released list, possibly the case with Ledley King too)

Degag

Ledley King has been released and is as such retiring according to SSN. Pity, great player just so unlucky with injury.

The_B_Man

Keith Andrews on the WBA released list!

1mcampo1

Danny Murphy?

Samich

Here's a list of the expiring contracts for this year and any other year. Some quality players for next year for sure. Utd need to tie up Nani, Rafael and Welbeck.

Dembele from Fulham is expiring next year.

Also Junior Hoiletts contract is up, who'll he go with. Very exciting player imo.

Louis Sahas contract is also up, why was he only signed on a 6 month contract?

List of expiring contracts (2012 + any other year)

Kess73

Thought Hoilett was a free agent from today?


Edit: Just noticed him on the retained list with him listed as having received an offer.

The_B_Man

Why is Berbatov on Man Utds retained list?

So we have 3 players in our Euro squad without a club. Andrews, O'Dea and Green.

They took the one year extension option they had so he can't leave on a free.

The_B_Man

I see Fletcher is there as well!

Degag

Because he has another year on his contract?

Some notable players out of contract

Jussi Jääskeläinen
Danny Murphy
Steven Reid
Heurelho Gomes
Andy Johnson
Taye Taiwo*
Hugo Rodallega
Manuel Almunia
Michael Kightly

Degag

Jussi Jaaskelainen could do a good job for some club.

Jimmy Iovine

Didn't realise that Saha is without a club. If he could stay fit he'd be a great signing. Unfotunately, I doubt there's much chance of that happening.

G.K.

Danny Guthrie should be snapped up, good player this season.

G.K.

Premier League ‏@premierleague

Re: released and retained lists - They are accurate as of the dates received by Premier League - 19/05 for 19 clubs and 23/05 for Chelsea

Cole & Lampard to, but I'd expect them to sign extensions.

Not sure about Sturridge though, with Hazard, Hulk, Marin coming in his time could be very limited.

Jimmy Iovine

Ledley King is in talks about a new contract it seems.

I saw them alright but also expect them to sign new contracts :P

That's not accurate.

That_Guy

As far as I know Lovenkrands and Guthrie are available on a free... The latter will be snapped up easily. Pity he's not getting a contract but has looked excellent anytime he's been called upon last season. His passing range is exceptional.

Tchoyi from West Brom would be worth a punt. Hasn't played a lot but he bloody terrorised us on our promotion season.... the bastard. :pac:

grohlisagod

Ferrie Bodde is a quality player, just destroyed by injury. It'll be interesting to see if someone takes a chance on him.

Mancini let his son go. There'll be a few frosty silences at the dinner table.

Sign every player that's available on a free transfer and then give out when u can't sell them!

Jimmy Iovine

Best name on it has to be Peter Rosenkrands Lovenkrands.

Yes it is.

No it isn't.

Adam Drury, Elliott Ward, David Fox, Korey Smith, Simeon Jackson, Steven Kelly, Junior Hoilett, Raheem Hanley.

Those players are on the retain lists.

I'd take Kalou and maybe even Danny Murphy at a pinch.

I am surprised Keith Andrews has been let go.

IvySlayer

Man City: Assulin, Benali, Hargreaves, Mancini, Nielsen, Taylor, Tse

Pfft wins the league and then gets released :pac:

TimeToShine

what kind of wages would Kalou be looking for? I'm sure most teams would snap him up in a heartbeat.

starviewadams

Is Newcastle's Folan Caleb Folan who was capped by us a few times?

Klasnic would be a decent signing for any mid table team,the rest aren't up to much (besides the likes of Drogba,Kalou,Bosingwa etc)

No, Caleb Folan was released by Birmingham (where he did not play a single minute) in the last few weeks after a short term contract.

I'd say it's probably Stephen Folan, Irish underage international from Galway.

Vurnon San Benito

Decent Championship side in all those players.

Pogrebynak would be a nice little signing.

Himself and Heskey up front - would cause absolute havoc! :pac:

Samich

There's a thread on this already.

Yeah, it's Stephen.

ConorSTF

How much did Fulham pay for Pogrebnyak? He has scored 6 goals in 12 league games, why are they releasing him?

Rikand

Blackburn: Aley, Goulon, Grella, Knowles, Salgado

Finally getting rid of Grella. About 5 years too late.

Gillington

QPR: Agyemang, Borrowdale, Buzsaky, Cerny, Cook, Gabbidon, Hall, Hill, Olley, Ramage, ****tu, Vine

Be lethal if someone had the censored Danny ****tu on the back of their QPR jersey

Ferguson let Darren off to Wolves though all those years ago too. Fergie Jr will get him back someday by knocking united out of the cup maybe even with Peterborough

Yep Stephen. Decent prospect too but injured for most of last season.
