FW – Gudjohnsen, Carew/Benjani

…or there and there abouts.

    “Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Edwin van der Sar.”

    Released? Don’t you mean retired.

    Forgive me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Garrido already transferred from City to Lazio last summer?

  5. Chris says:

    @Jh: That’s what we (and Wikipedia) thought. May be something to do with the small print of his contract at City/Lazio, may just be a mistake.

    @Victor Meldrew: According to the PA, they all count – and who are we to argue?

    Craddock’s not been released. Extended by a year again.

    @gamblino: Not according to the official list that the Premier League themselves have just released…

    Some of these retained lists are utter tripe. Garrido signed for Lazio last summer!

    Expect Fat Bastard Ashley to be trawling for bargains through this lot

    Gamblino and Craddock are tight??? Does that mean you share a bed… Stop being a cunt because The Premier League list is correct and if you where wondering the Chairman of The Premier League Sir Dave Richard’s his daughter and I are what Gamblino will call “TIGHT”

    Surprised that Thomas Cruise was released. For a while, he was considered the next big thing–strange world, football.

    That ” released XI” team would get relegated before boxing day!

    Relax boys, it’s just an end of season procedure whereby players whose contracts have not been extended/re-signed yet are put on a formal list just so everyone knows that they are not contracted and are free to move about. This from Soccernet’s Transfer Blog:

    1231 BST After the released list we linked up earlier surprisingly featured Wolves defender Jody Craddock, the club have said on Twitter: “”Don’t read anything into inclusion of Jody Craddock on list of released players. Just procedure from league. He is being offered new deal.”

    @KW: Don’t worry. Heard he’s got bigger things on his plate..like filming Mission Impossible 4. =P
