<!-- S BO --><!-- S IIMA --> <!-- E IIMA --><!-- S SF -->Fulham manager Lawrie Sanchez has released striker Tomasz Radzinski as part of his summer clear-out.

Radzinski, 33, and midfielder Claus Jensen, 30, who revealed he was leaving on Friday, rejected the chance to extend their deals earlier this season.

Goalkeeper Mark Crossley and Welsh midfielder Mark Pembridge have also been released by the new boss.

On-loan trio Wayne Routledge, Jan Lastuvka and Vincenzo Montella have all returned to their parent clubs. <!-- E SF -->

Canada international Radzinski joined the Cottagers from Everton in 2004 and made over 100 appearances.

He was signed as a forward but has also played in midfield during his time with the club.

Radzinski scored three goals this season, with Premiership strikes against Arsenal and West Ham and another in the 3-0 FA Cup win over Stoke.

Jensen criticised the club last week after claiming he had no future under Sanchez's "long-ball" tactics and becomes a free agent.

Crossley, 37, spent part of the season on loan at Sheffield Wednesday and has been told he will not be offered a new deal.

hmm radzinski would be helpful and so who jensen, all experience internationals. what u guys say, riki shud be watching this closly

Radzinski will get another club in England, failing that MLS would be a certainty.  He was never going to stay at Fulham once Sanchez got the job - not tall enough.

Isn't this in the wrong forum?

I think the point is - if Sanchez is clearing house - will Elliot become available?

If that was the point I certainly missed it :)

From a player's perspective, if you were at an EPL club and were released, I  think you'd look around for somewhere similar and not quite give up on the EPL dream for a little bit. Unlikely to come home for the A League unless close to retirement
