They may have thought it was better to just release him so when they go to sign FA's in 2 years they don't have to try to reassure a player "if this doesn't work we won't send you to the worst team in the league"

I seriously doubt that if they got an offer they liked it would have mattered at all what team Hopkins wanted to go to.
