El K To Be Let Go

Normally reliable sources are suggesting that mercurial defender Talal El Karkouri will be let go after the weekend. He is out of contract in June. El K will be remembered for his sensational goals from distance, although there were many speculative attempts that failed. His distribution from defence relied on the 'hoof it high and long' method. The right decision in my view.

Committed battler Radostin Kishishev is also likely to be let go as he made too many serious errors in midfield for him to be retained. Kevin Lisbie is also likely to be left to find pastures new. He was notable for the number of sitters he missed, not least against Watford this season, although he was not without talent as he managed a hat trick against Liverpool and a good winning goal away at Ipswich (and also against Chelsea).

The news about Lisbie is likely to be released quietly over the Bank Holiday to avoid scenes of mass distress among the Addickted.
