Emotional about Calde leaving, gutted to not keep Greer who has been outstanding for 6 seasons now.
Suprised that Ankergren has been offered anything other than a one way ticket to anywhere else. Underwhelmed about the goalkeeping scenario as I would've liked to have seen a new addition.

Surely we need another four or five left backs? Don't want Hughton making THAT mistake again.

No just 1 capable deputy to Bong without having to use a jack of all trades.

Shame for Greer Calde and BZ but good to see that the club have been decisive and moved on some big earners. I would've kept Greer but it may be that he wanted to play regularly. This clears the decks for an early and strong move into the market. We will be up against some big spenders so it's important that we move quickly for our targets before we get outbid. We also desperately need to get the average age of the squad down. An exciting summer ahead and although gutted not to be promoted this is going to be some league next season...

The forth standby keeper, can't expect to play any games but must be a good trainer and always ready to step in at short notice. He is obvious candidate for this job again this season

Think to me the right situation has happened for all the players involved.....as some have said gutted and THANK YOU for all of you especially Calderon......and BOBBY in particular....

Agree with all of that.
Could GG be returning to his beloved Glasgow? With Rangers promoted back to the top division, he could be the ideal man to anchor their defence next season.

This is my concern. Individually I think these are all sensible decisions for the club; collectively I think we're risking the #Together spirit that was an important part of the team's overachievement this season.
I'm confident that Chris and his scouting team will be able to find four better players to replace them (although I don't think it will be easy, nor will the replacements come cheap) but finding four bigger characters as well would be nothing short of miraculous.
We're just lucky that we're not short of leaders at the moment, and we'll still have Bruno, Kayal, Hemed, Rosenior, Stockdale and Goldson... assuming we can keep hold of them.

Surely someone on NSC will at least talk him into playing for REMF one year?
Thought you'd know the answer to that . We need a minimum of FORE

Bit disappointed that GG is going ..great player and leader for the Albion...I guess Calde going is no great surprise..hopefully back at the club in some capacity in the future...I guess it's all been said by others.
BZ's goal against Huddersfield remains one of my favourites of the season and epitomised the way we played since January ...breaking from defence to attack swiftly...I don't think anyone else on the books would have finished the way he did that day.

Get a grip of yourself.
Sorry... I won't mention that it is actually a bigger down than the playoffs. I expected to lose them!

Releasing players is always one of the most difficult decisions a manager has to make. He does it risking being unpopular but does it because he believes they no longer fit in his plans. They become the past of a Club & no longer its future
CH will have taken time & gone over his decisions many times. It will have been much harder a choice this year after we came so close. He will have considered so many aspects but he has been big enough to not let sentimentalism overcome the harsh realities of his beliefs that will help make BHA move on
I would've loved Calde to have been kept at the Amex in some role. He'd become too big in stature here for us to comprehend him leaving (GG similarly). But if he still wants a playing career CH is gracefully but firmly saying it won't be here. Both Calde & GG will find Clubs at a good standard to become key players
What I take from this is that there will be incomings of a very good standard. Goodbyes are sad & the only solace for me is I believe Tony will be giving CH a big budget to replace & improve our squad. That appeases me. Signing Hughton on a long term contract was a big sign we will use the hurt of this season to go up next season.
Bobby is always going to be legendary in our history. Crofts had to go sadly (he'd struggle to get a game again IMO). Adam needs a Club that can develop him & it isn't us
Bruno staying is massive but I'd feel happier with a 2 year contract.
Thanks guys. You gave us more than we ever expected & we will never forget. Now for the next stage & bringing in quality players #Believe
