Big Names Leave Clubs

Viera- A big name released

Patrick Vieira and Jonathan Woodgate are among the list of players to have left Premier League clubs this summer and become free agents.

Former France captain and Arsenal midfielder Vieira, 34, leaves Manchester City after only 15 months.
Spurs were unsuccessful in persuading injury-plagued centre-back Woodgate, 31, to agree a pay-as-you-play deal.
Birmingham, West Ham and Blackpool - all relegated to the Championship - have offloaded 32 players between them.
A dozen players have left Birmingham, including Lee Bowyer, Sebastian Larsson, James McFadden, Kevin Phillips and Maik Taylor.
West Ham's England international defender Matthew Upson, Wales centre-back Danny Gabbidon, defender Lars Jacobsen and Jonathan Spector are all on the open market.
Blackpool midfielder David Vaughan's rejection of a new contract means he joins 11 others leaving Bloomfield Road.
