Premier League released lists

[Toby Ward-Smith]

Here is a list of every player which all premier league clubs from last season have released:
Who would you like who we can realistically sign?

I would take Chris Baird back, Jaaskelainen as back-up for Bettinelli, Mulumbu as a sub in midfield and possibly Guidetti up front as an option to replace Hugo.

ARSENAL: Abou Diaby and Ryo Miyaichi (last seen on loan at FC Twente).

ASTON VILLA: Darren Bent (already signed by Derby), Chris Herd, Enda Stevens and Ron Vlaar.

BURNLEY: Steven Reid and Ross Wallace.

CRYSTAL PALACE: Shola Ameobi, Stephen Dobbie, Owen Garvan, Brede Hangeland, Peter Ramage and Jerome Thomas.

EVERTON: Antolin Alcaraz and Sylvain Distin.

HULL CITY: Maynor Figueroa, Steve Harper, Paul McShane, Liam Rosenior and Yannick Sagbo.

LEICESTER CITY: Paul Gallagher, Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Matthew Upson.

LIVERPOOL: Steven Gerrard MBE, Glen Johnson (middle names: McLeod, Cooper) and Brad Jones.

SUNDERLAND: Wes Brown and Anthony Reveillere.

SWANSEA CITY: Alan Tate and Gerhard Tremmel.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR: Cristian Ceballos, Brad Friedel and Bongani Khumalo.

WEST BROM: Chris Baird, Jason Davidson, Gareth McAuley and Youssouf Mulumbu.

WEST HAM: Carlton Cole, Guy Demel, Juusi Jaaskelainen and Daniel Potts.

[Mhbruce]

Would definently take guidetti but he'll probably go to a lower premier league team or celtic..

[Craven Mad]

Thomas Sorenson, Ben Amos, John Guidetti, Youssouf Mulumbu, Glen Johnson, Micah Richards and Chris Baird are the names that spring out to me. Both Micah and Glen will be on absurd wages (I imagine), and Mulumbu would (I expect) stay in the Prem, but the others could be doable.

[WestCountryWhite]

It's about time we got the Carlton Cole deal done

[St. Andrews White]

Jason Davidson would be an excellent LB, whilst (and I know many will disagree) Palacios is exactly the kind of strong CDM we need. A lot of others on that list are deadwood we need to avoid, really avoid

[..Kya.ffc..]

Youssouf Mulumbu and  John Guidetti for me.

[St. Andrews White]

Oh yeah, Mulumbu would also be fantastic.

We don't have a hope in hell of getting Guidetti, nor Richards whom I rate very highly.

[Black, White and Fred]

I'd have Wilson Palacios (on a 1 year deal with option for 2nd year),
Rosenior and Mulumbu.

[snarks]

That's not a list of all players released, or at least it's a lot briefer than the one I've seen.

Some of those from the prem may be worth a punt all though those with ability will be snapped up quickly anyway.

[The Equalizer]

I'd take Lampard.

[God The Mechanic]

Palacios has played 25 times in the last three years and not at all last season.  Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.

[H4usuallysitting]

Micah Richards.....yes please.....but probably a big bundle of wedge

[FPT]

If we could get Yousouff Mulumbu, it's a must for me. He'd be a leader in our midfield and provide much needed muscle. Plus, it'd be a 'sign of intent' that some have spoken about to attract this Premier League experienced midfielder who could still be playing in that division. Then in a midfield two we have Mulumbu, Tunnicliffe and Parker as the more defensive option and Lasse Vigen Christensen with Emerson Hyndman in a more forward thinking role. Then next summer, we don't need to worry about a Parker replacement when we (hopefully) let him go post-contract expiration and Ryan Tunnicliffe can cover for Mulumbu.

[@jolslover]

Ryo Miyaichi, Hooiveld, Gutierrez and Guidetti are 4 deals that we could potentially get done and that arent unrealistic wage wise.
Hooiveld had a good spell at this season and is experienced, Would be a cheap alternative if we can't get Dunk
John Guidetti has had a successful season in Scotland scoring 8 goals and was prolific in the dutch leagues. He would be a bargain for free
Ryo Miyaichi is still only 22 but were in need of some pacey wingers and he would bring just that
Jonas Gutierrez has played in the championship before with Newcastle so is used to the league, Despite his age he is still an effective winger and would bring experience to the side


Cristian Ceballos is someone I am suprised Tottenham released as he has impressed me when I have seen him play in pre season games and is a player I thought would go far with them, He would be another player I think would benefit our squad as he plays behind the striker in the Ruiz role

Youssouf Mulumbu is another player I feel would be a great signing as we are in need of a tough tackling DM and he would fit that role perfectly

[St. Andrews White]

I second the Miyaichi punt - really pacy and could destroy the Championship if he puts on a bit of muscle

[f321ffc]

I'd take Lampard.

:plus one: never going to happen and probably not a popular choice but one season from the bloopoo badge kisser would certainly boost our chances.

[Classic94]

Mulumbu and Guidetti would be superb business. Palacios, Davidson and Ceballos may also be worth a look. Richards won't come here.

[Pluto]

Semi-realistic options i'd take:

1) Mulumbu (just what we need)
2) Baird
3) Palacios (one year deal)
4) Hangeland (one year deal)
5) Guidetti (unlikely)
6) One of Sorenson, Amos, Harper, Jaaskelainen
7) Distin (unlikely)
8) Rosenior

I think this lineup could compete and has a nice mixture of youth and experience:

                    Sorenson
Rosenior   Distin    Bodurov  Kavanagh

LVC         Baird     Mulumbu  Kaca

            McCormack  Guidetti

Bench:

Betts
Grimmer
Hutchinson
Parker
Palacios
Roberts
Smith

[St. Andrews White]

I'm sorry, but that back 4 would be destroyed : no pace whatsoever, and not that much height either.
Mulumbu and LVC at CM would work, but not 2 pretty defensive players.

I like most of those signings, just most of them would be squad players.

[rogerpbackinMidEastUS]

I'd take Lampard.

:plus one: never going to happen and probably not a popular choice but one season from the bloopoo badge kisser would certainly boost our chances.

I'd agree, if he's fully motivated, and he seems to be all the time, he could tear up most defenses in this division.
And before anyone grizzles, he's too old etc, it would purely be with one aim.
A one year deal to fire the goals to get us back into the PS.
And he wouldn't have to move house.

He could inject amazing enthusiasm through the team

Yes please
