6 Players Released, Elliott Chamberlain, Steve Howard, Matt Oakley, Aleksandar Tunchev, Darius Vassell and Chris Weale

[Guest BlueBrett]

how many forwards do people think we need?! Nuge, Beckford, Vardy, Schlupp, Waghorn (Hopper and Paney....). Surely ample.

[21st Century Fox]

Darius

[Captain...]

A man hug and a pat on the buttock for all of them as they leave, excpet Chamberlain, he will get a polite nod of recognition, well done to the other lads though you have all played your part in banishing from memory Holloway and that day in May.

[Daggers]

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?

He obviously isn't as much of a 'risk' as Vardy is to some people.

[Legend_in_blue]

Vassell was ok but I'm not fussed. Tricks, pace and stepovers still didn't get past the majority of defenders in this league.

[Mr Happy]

Logan will never leave.

EVER

Been here for, what 11 years i think and made 30ish appearances (please correct me as i fear one or both of them stats is wrong)

[Guest MattP]

He obviously isn't as much of a 'risk' as Vardy is to some people.

Vardy is everything Leicester fans don't want. Young, exciting, fast, risk-taker, goalscorer.

He had better learn to be able to pick up the ball 40 yards from goal and amble his way to the corner flag whilst performing numerous step-overs and feints to be appreciated by our lot.

[jamesmilner]

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

one thing as a striker he didnt offer was goals . must be something to do with that i'd say !

[Fox92]

Wanted to keep Vassell, at least for another season, but I'm not too fussed about the other players.

[Saxondale]

Sad about Vassell but, presumably, his wage desires were more than Pearson would be prepared to offer to a player who he doesn't see as playing a big part in next season.

[davieG]

Logan will need to be offered a new contract then.

[Jaspa]

Well, Darius probably mostly came to help Sven out in truth

I mentioned when he got injured it could potentially be career threatening, and it probably will turn out to be now, unless he goes abroad.

I liked him here and he gave us a few decent memories ( Hull Away, Notts Home )

But now we have space for another winger/striker

[Iwan is a Welshman]

Dissapointed to see Vassell go.

A word for Chris Weale as well. For a while he was a good 'keeper for us.

[Guest shearfox]

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

Surprised to see him released, but I think that is the reason he hasn't had his contract renewed...

[buzzy]

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?

i thought we finished 9th or have you had a wet dream that we finished in the top 2

[Happy Fox]

Not surprising we knew all about their departures anyway, the likelihood of Vassell being offered a contract was very slim anyway due to being injured and not showing NP what he can do. We need at least two wingers to sign, otherwise we are in for a tough season again.

[Guest MattP]

i thought we finished 9th or have you had a wet dream that we finished in the top 2

What?

What's your point? We should sign him on and try and finish 9th again?

[Guest shearfox]

i thought we finished 9th or have you had a wet dream that we finished in the top 2

We did but he means that top 2 is where we are aiming so keeping hold of mid table players isn't going to achieve that...

[acooling08]

I think Vassell's wages wre probably very high, so best to get rid.

[Kitchandro]

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

Agreed.

You know times are bad when people are disappointed that Vassell has gone. We need to be aiming higher.

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

I reckon a fair bit has been saved on the wage bill, good news!

[Salieri]

Can't argue with that list, Pearson knows what he's doing.

[dannythefox]

Happy with this Vassells done nothing so we wont miss him.

[Ozwin]

I've played too much FM, once players hit 30 I always subconsciously know that I have to get rid before it's too late so Vassell is no surprise to me.

[Bluetintedspecs]

The king is dead..............NP's blueprint carries on, all the best to the released players,however life moves on and it looks to be moving in the right direction
