Why? It's part of football. If he finds another club which will play him and give him a three year contract then surely it's best for him and the club. If not he gets another years salary from town but will not feature as much as he likes. Mick did the same thing to Tabby, but he stayed and by all accounts was fantastic.

Pitman isn't that good, a very limited player and definitely not going to be a big loss.
Would you say he was one of our better earners here as well? If so, getting him off the wage bill can only be a good thing as well, and hopefully gives Mick some leeway in terms of improving the squad.

Do you really think that Moore and Samuel are better?
Never really found a place in the system(s) we have played.
A very gifted finisher but his overall game wasn't suited to us and he seemed to go missing for large spells.
I suppose he would be worth keeping hold of, but if he isn't happy and we are having to be thrifty then spending his (probably not insignificant) wages on a benchwarmer doesn't make any sense.
I expect he'll stay in the championship and bag 10 goals next season for someone like Brizzle or QPR

My point isn't so much Pitman is going - more the fact that it appears Moore and Samuel who are far inferior have a strong chance of staying.
Who are on a helluva less Wonga. I doubt very much that Samuel will stay anyway as he was just a loan. KM will be given a season to prove himself and then probably get released next summer. I don't see what the big deal is.

Done little here to be honest, looked better in his first season coming off the bench and whenever he has started has been disappointing.
Good finisher but doesn't work hard enough outside the box for me, has little pace and poor in the air, certainly can't play the target man role.
Not surprised hes being let go, best for both parties but Samuel shouldn't be signed as his replacement as I don't think he is an improvement on Pitman.
Definitely need to be looking to sign a couple of strikers now, with only Sears and McGoldrick first team options, with the latter likely to play 20 games at the most!

I'm not saying he's going to set the world on fire, but he's a darn sight better than Kiefer Moore and Samuel who it appears MM rated far higher!

Moore is a cheap punt and Samuel is an up and comer - I haven't seen enough from either to be impressed but Pitman will be earning good money as an established player and isn't cutting it

Indeed. Same with Bru. It amazes me when fans have been moaning about our players not being good enough all season and when something positive is done and they're let go those same people moan about them being let go.

No. But they won't be the main strikers next season. Pitman is at the stage of his career where he isn't going to develop and will want to be playing 1st team football. He really hasn't been treated badly. If he hasn't been good enough to be the regular striker in this team then you can see why Mick would want to move him on so his wages are freed up for an establish forward (fingers crossed)

We've removed about £1.5m from the wage bill in just letting Pitman, Douglas and Berra leaving.
That is the only positive, as long as it is given to the right replacements 🙄
He is an excellent finisher but doesn't have much of an all round game nor the fitness to regularly play full matches. That's not just an indictment of our play over the last two years, it's just the nature of the player.
Pitman is an out and out finisher who needs to play infront of a creative midfield and wingers. If we aren't going to bother playing with those types of players then Pitman won't get a look in as he doesn't create chances for himself.
I really hope we don't sign Samuel, he's terrible!

Moore has potential and deserves a full pre-season to try and crack on. He's a unit and will happily train and can be called upon when required. For £10k there is no harm in keeping him.
Samuel needs game time and to be played in the right system. Showed glimpses of quality against Forest but looked to lack that match sharpness and understanding of his teammates around him.
Pitman I do think has the ability to get a team at this level 15 goals a season and I'm sure he'll do well somewhere else, he's going though, time to crack on and embrace the squad overhaul a lot of us called for...it certainly looks like we're trying to clear out and bring in early doors which is a positive sign.
