Stephen Carr and Peter Ramage are two high-profile casualties of
Kevin Keegan’s overhaul of his Newcastle squad.
Carr, Ramage and James Troisi have been informed their expiring
contracts will not be renewed in the summer.
Ramage has worked his way back to fitness following a serious
knee injury and it would appear as if the youth product has taken
the decision to seek pastures new.
"We wanted to keep Rammy, but he wants to play regular football,
and I couldn't guarantee that here," said Keegan.
Irishman Carr’s four-year spell with the club will come to an
end in the summer, with Keegan seemingly keen to head in a new
direction.
"Stephen Carr [has] been a great pro for this club. He wasn't
offered a contract and I explained the reasons why,” added
Keegan.
"James Troisi has also gone. He has gone to play for Australia
in the Olympics, but he has not been offered a contract."
Troisi came through the ranks on Tyneside but never made a
senior appearance.
