  • Players released.

    During our time in thr Premier we signed several established players in trying to stay there. Did ever someone kept record of players we released after relegation and what happened to them? Zamora, played one other season and retired.
    Dunne.. .retired.
    Cisse, played another season and then retired.
    Johnson...retired.
    The Islandic guy....retired. (forget his name!)
    Henry...do not know what he is up to.
    I am sure most of you will come up with more names, which shows how we burnt out the money for has beens.
    At least now we have players that can only increase their value and if sold, will leave the club stronger financially.

          gathering together a list of players that we signed in that period would take at least 800 pages

            Probably living like a king somewhere off the millions of quid we paid him for keeping the bench warm for 4 years!

              do you mean players who joined us when we were in the prem and then released directly after relegation or just after relegation? of your list...

              dunne was bought in directly after relegation and retired after his release
              cisse was released after relegation, but had been out on loan before that (red chap didn't fancy him) btw, he played for another 2 seasons after leaving us
              andy johnson went to palace for 3 months (only one appearance), then retired
              helgusson joined us in 2009, a couple of seasons before we went up. hughes froze him out while we were still in the prem and he went to cardiff where he made 38 appearances in their promotion season.
              henry joined us directly after relegation and signed various contract extensions after relegation before being released. he signed for bolton a couple of weeks ago.

                  Signed for a French 3rd division team in August. Played 1 game so far...they probably binned him after that.

                    Yes you're right Brian. He was a sub in that one game and then promptly got a yellow card

                      Taiwo, a former right back of ours, is currently playing for swedish Østersunds IF. i`m not sure he is playing in the Euro-League for them though.

                            That's the one. But can recall a long list of other players that either retired or ended in oblivion. The likes of DJ Campbell, Dyer, Ben Haim, Nelson, Hulse, Krancjar, Chevanton, Jenas, Benayoun and Bothroyd. Jesus....no wonder we ended in such a financial mess!

                              Whatever bench he was keeping warm, wasn't at Loftus Road.
