The Club would like to place on record its thanks to all six players for their hard work and professionalism during their time in City blue and wish them well in the future.

was hoping Vassell would be offered a new deal;

[Zingari]

I'm a bit disappointed about Vassell really

[LCFC FOX]

What about Johnny P

[cc_star]

Good luck to all, yes there's a hard luck story surrounding Vassell's situation personally I think he had something to offer the squad & even the first team, but... well, we're going a different way now.

[Mark_w]

All I'd say have generally benefited the club during their time at Leicester, hope they do well.

[m00nie]

thought vassell would have been a decent squad player to keep.. not fussed on the others ( but thanks for your service)... still hoping we sell a couple others also.

[RyanB89]

Dissapointed with vassell, but dont mind the others

[Hitesh]

Interesting to see Vassell on the list, but no surprises elsewhere.

Will be interesting to see which new keeper we get in.

Please tell me what Elliot Chamberlain did?

[Will1981]

glad Vassell has gone no doubt he was on silly money wages, never impressed me at all.

[leicesterisme]

Not surprising at all, Vassell was ok but we can do better. Dosen't really dissapoint me much to be honest.

will do, these are just the ones whose contracts aren't being renewed.

[Leicester Lass]

Vassell must be to do with wages. Real shame, I think he still had a lot to offer.

[Guest MattP]

Excellent news, none of these players are capable of being in a side in the top two.

Cannot believe anyone is upset at seeing Vassell go, an injury prone, expensive 32 year old who best days are long gone, why on earth would you give him a new deal?

[ScouseFox]

Fair enough. We move on, Howard, Vassell, maybe even Oakley would have been on decent wages. Tunch was always going due to injuries, Chamberlain wasn't ever going to get a game and Weale is shite.

Barring Vassell who could've done a job as a squad player (but maybe he was on first team player wages) all sensible decisions.

[Carl the Llama]

A hearty pat on the back to all.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Cheers for that second half against Forest at home last November Darius. Bit gutted he's gone.

[1884Fox]

NOOOO VASSEL!!!

[RonnieTodger]

Gutted about Vassell.

Really hope we sign a new back up keeper so we're not stuck with Logan.

Logan will never leave.

EVER

[brookfox]

Not that bothered about Darius tbh. I reckon we're looking at forwards next year of Nuge, Waghorn, Vardy, Schlupp plus a new target man (possibly on loan) and I can't see a place for either him or Howard amongst this bunch.

That beauty at Hull last season! Great goal. And that peach of a cross for Abe vs Brighton.
