Johan Elmander is featured despite agreeing a free transfer to Galatasaray, while Wolves veteran Jody Craddock is set to be offered a new deal at the club.<\/p>\n<p>Players such as Nigel Reo-Coker, Bolo Zenden and Zoltan Gera have also been sent packing despite featuring regularly for their clubs last season.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the original here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/06\/16\/2534565\/arsenal-invincibles-patrick-vieira-robert-pires-sol-campbell\" title=\"Arsenal 'invincibles' Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires &amp; Sol Campbell among 123 released Premier League players\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arsenal &#8216;invincibles&#8217; Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires &amp; Sol Campbell among 123 released Premier League players<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Matt Scott 16 Jun 2011 13:15:00 Thierry Henry, Robert Pires &#8211; Arsenal Premier League Champions 2004 (Getty Images) Related Links Teams Players Patrick Vieira , Robert Pires and Sol Campbell are among the high-profile players included on a list of individuals who have been released by Premier League clubs.
