liverpool release players

[little dave hedgehog]

especially if it's accurate info you want.

[-V-]

That list is surely misleading, they haven't all left for free have they? Im sure many of those were sold for fee's. Zolton Gera, Johan Elmander, Tamir Cohen?

[-V-]

Yep. They only wanted to give him a new contract after he found some form earlier this season. By which time he felt unloved and had better offers.

Oh! Didn't they pay £10m for him?

[Craig_H]

I think that the likes of John Carew, Sebastian Larsson, James McFadden, Kevin Phillips, Johan Elmander, Diomansy Kamara, Javier Garrido, Eidur Gudjohnsen and Matthew Upson could all do a job as backup players for a PL club.

[Exiled_red]

Oh! Didn't they pay £10m for him?

£8.2m according to wikipedia

[Baracus]

It was automatic I believe, kicked in after he'd played a certain number of games last season.

I've also read that Insua is "retained" so perhaps his contract has more time to run on it than thought?!

One more year to run

[Fierce]

One more year to run

Pretty sure it ends in July but we had an option to extend it, which I guess retained could mean?

From elsewhere:

Following on from the list of 'Released' players the Premier League issued today they also released a list of Retained players

Nothing extraordinary on there other than

Insua - Retained (now I expected him to be Offered as we would have to offer him a contract to get a fee if he left)
Soto - Extended (not 100% sure what this means as everyone else is either retained or offered, however Owen and Cudicini have the same status so suggests he is staying)
Ince - Offered (I presume we knew this anyway, we have offered him a contract he is thinkig about it)

Anyone shed any light on what this all means? List here link opens a large (29 pages) PDF...

Jaysus few years ago those Milan players on frees would have made up a dream team.
