[GB Alty]

Sad to see him go.  A good third striker for the club, offers something different and ideal sub when trying to hold on to games and a good character.  Also seemed happy to play the role of impact sub and good strikers are not often happy with that.

problem is he was the second striker

Probably wasn't the original plan to be honest.

Interesting decision. Can't think he would be let go without a replacement lined up.

Hopefully a sign that the club is ambitious enough to move forward and make tough decisions regarding decent squad players.

Good luck Kyle.

[MarpleAlty]

I have to admit I was a little bit nervous about this - keeping the nucleus of the squad together was what helped us to safety this year, and there is a lot to be said about impact in the dressing room.

At one point I did think I would have been quite happy simply having another go at finding a second striker to push Kyle into third spot.

However, given the lottery of signings at this level, I suppose signing 2 strikers (as I assume we hopefully will do) gives us a better chance of at least one of them working.

We can't just sign another Gillespie and make no progress from this season, perhaps that was Lee's line of thought on this.

[Jezza]

proved a lot of doubters wrong and for a big often overweight player amazingly became a cult fans favourite forever remembered for fouling the keeper with typical determination to create an assist for the goal that won us promotion.

I'd have kept him as a useful squad member personally.

Wherever he goes he wont get 10 goals for them 

[Timperley The Best]

He probably wants to start games more often , been very good as a sub but starting games havent been quite as successful, I presume Gillespie will go.

[robininstockport]

Never won us a penalty!

Kyle took all the criticism on the chin and became a crucial player for us in Conference National. I always said that he wasn't a footballer, but sometimes that simply isn't the point. He pushed, he barged, he shoved, he harassed and generally made a nuisance of himself and on more than one occasion I found myself muttering, "Thank God he's one of us!" The team will miss him greatly. Good luck Kyle wherever you end up mate.

[wellingboroughALTY]

I've never seen a player terrorise defenders as much as he did to Macc's in the second half at Moss Rose.

They didn't have a clue what they were supposed to be doing.

The club is very slow to confirm (or deny) this news.

[ShropshireAlty]

Just been confirmed on the official site, along with a few other names that were released. I've started a new thread on it on here at http://www.altyfans.co.uk/index.php?topic=20164.0

Good luck to Kyle, cracking lad and we will miss his enthusiasm and great attitude. How he gets fixed up soon.

[AFC56]

As a number of people have already said I think Kyle will be a bigger loss off the field than on.

His celebration to an empty stand after scoring at Halifax was comedy gold.

 

[Ballers]

I think he may also have been snookered by us seemingly now moving towards playing with one striker, two at a push rather than two up front and Kyle on the bench.

If so makes sense to release Kyle and Gillespie and try (!) to sign a quality 2nd striker with Lawrie as a 3rd back up.

And yes, excellent away at Macc.

[MarpleAlty]

As we've got rid of one former pantomime villain, dare I say we should be approaching another in Richard Brodie...?!
