In the English "Premier" League, a London club that barely took the 16th place in the summer decided to change almost half of the team. In April, Northern Irishman Lawrie Sanchez, who became head coach, refused the services of even seven players - the club did not want to extend their contracts with them.
The 33-year-old Canadian national team striker Tomasz Radzinski scored three goals this season: in 35 English "Premier" League matches, he scored in games against London and London, and added another goal in a 3-0 FA Cup win against "Stoke City".
The striker, who in 2004 moved from Liverpool to Fulham, was used more as a winger than a striker in the new team, and in more than 100 games played in London club in three years, he scored only 10 goals.
The 30-year-old Danish defender Claus Jensen also became a free agent last week when he announced that he had no future in the Fulham team because he criticized coach L.Sanchez's tactics of playing "long passes".
The 37-year-old veteran goalkeeper Mark Crossley also was not offered a new contract. He spent almost the entire season on loan to Sheffield Wednesday.
The 36-year-old Welsh defender Mark Pembridge was also not included in L.Sanchez's future plans.
Meanwhile, in January, the striker borrowed from the Italian capital who scored two goals this season in the championship and three in the FA Cup, returned to the "Roma" club.
A similar fate awaits this year for the 22-year-old defender Wayne Routledge, who scored one goal in the FA Cup, returned to London, and the 24-year-old goalkeeper Jan Lastuvka, who was loaned out from the Doncaster club in the summer, and returned to Ukraine.
