Keylor Navas - Goalkeeper
Following his loan spell at Forest, Keylor found that actually playing football was a much harder way to make a living than helping a number one with their warm up and sitting on a bench for 90 minutes. He returned to Paris St Germain where he will be helping enchance his reputation as one of the best Champions League bench warmers of all time.
Renan Lodi - Left Back
A firm fan favourite on Trent Side, the Brazilian proved to be very knowledgeable about the club and it's history and traditions. In keeping with those traditions, he knew that a decent Left-Back could not stay at the club without suffering a crippling injury or a disastrously loss of form so had to leave to seek his fortune at a more modest club.
Jonjo Shelvey - Midfielder
Technically still registered with the Club, but informed Cooper that he didn't want to play anymore, so he makes this list. Since leaving football, Jonjo fills his time with sedate pass-times, such as playing golf with Harry Arter and punching [section redacted to avoid unwanted legal action]
Jack Colback - Midfielder
The hardworking, professional geordie still finds himself without a club - as most squads are now filled with lazy, unprofessional head-line grabbers, he may have found himself left behind by the modern game.
Jesse Lingard - TikToker
The former England international's spell at the City Ground didn't go entirely to plan, as he found himself losing dozens of Tik Tok followers as his form dropped off. Eventually he got himself injured performing one of the more complicated dance trends and he too finds himself looking for a club, holding out for one that can meet his social media ambitions and bring him the followers he truly desires.
Cafú - Midfielder
A truly unselfish team player - he remained with the squad all last season, despite not being registered in the 25, before slagging the club off for not giving him a chance. Briefly considered retiring from football to open a Portugese Coffee Shop - he couldn't get approval for his business plan for Cafú Café - so returned to the game instead and signed a contract for Rotherham.
Sam Surridge - Striker
Mystery surrounds the current location of the former reds hitman. It was reported that he had signed for 'Nashville Soccer Club' in the US. However, when Where Are They Now visited Nashville, we could not find any locals who had ever even heard of such a club, or had seen Sam. We do hope that he has not been the victim of a cruel scam, Sam, if you or anyone who knows you is reading this, please get in touch, we're worried.
Lyle Taylor - Striker
The man with a questionable goalscoring record and even more questionable hair, sat in the unofficial, unregistered Bomb Squad with Cafú and Harry Arter for the year before being released and finding himself without a club. Cruel and unusual punishment that would make any player consider hanging up their boots for sure. Still, Lyle has wiped his tears on a spare £50 note and is waiting for his next club to call.
André Ayew - Striker
The veteran Ghanian left behind a lucrative salary in Al Sadd to link up once again with Steve Cooper. Released at the end of the season, no-one is quite sure of his whereabout now, but Steve Cooper's neighbours swear that his new gardener is a dead ringer for André.
