BEN Burgess and Rob Edwards have been released - but they might not leave the club.Hameur Bouazza, though, is on the way out after being given a free transfer.Holloway had warm words for the Algerian - "Hameur scored against Peterborough at home and produced a number of crosses in the matches he played" - but there's no doubt Bouazza's injury problems and his lack of time at the training ground has counted against him.
The situation with Burgess and Edwards is different. The manager admires both men greatly but didn't feel as though he could take up the options on their current contracts. That means they've been released and are free to talk to other clubs. But Holloway has spoken to both and asked them if they would consider signing a new deal.
"I have had a chat with both Ben and Rob and explained our situation," explained Holloway."We have decided not take their option for a further year, but that does not mean that we don't want them,"I have told them that in the coming weeks I am going to sit down with them and go through a few things for next season and if we can work something out I will be delighted."They are two cracking people who have nothing but a positive influence around the place."
