Portsmouth Cut off Some of the Fat

Portsmouth Cut off Some of the Fat
With all the focus this summer on players getting bought and sold - and making big money moves across Europe - we sometimes forget that the summer is also a time when scores of players lose their jobs. Their contracts are not renewed. They don't make the step up from the reserves to the first team. They flunk out of the youth academy. Dreams are shattered. That's the reality for most professional footballers.
And
Portsmouth
FC are the club in the spotlight today - releasing five first team players. The
club has now released 22 first team players
in the past 12 months. Yes, you read that right. 22 players. Gone. In. One. Year.
Lauren, Djimi Traore,
Glen Little
, Noe Pamarot, and
Jerome Thomas
were all released today.
Sean Davis
(
Bolton
),
Glen Johnson
(
Liverpool
), Jermaine Pennant (free agent), and
Armand Traore
(loan expired - back to
Arsenal
) have also left Fratton Park this summer.
There are also question marks about the futures of Kanu and Sol Campbell, who are both out of contract, and yet to renew.
Perhaps
new owner Sulaiman Al-Fahim
can invest his
Dubai
real
estate billions into figuring out a way to clone Niko Kranjcar 10 times. That would surely solve the summer exodus woes.
