Calde is only just 34, a year younger than Bruno, and Hughton has already said they are the two fittest players in the squad. He is such a useful player, being able to cover RB & LB, I can't see why he wouldn't be given another year's contract. Of course, that would depend on which division we are in.
Without a doubt! a Calde goal is really one of the only things lacking this season. I am sure he will pop up at some point.
What was the game he came on with 10 minutes to go, pushed Leo back into midfield and played up front?
I'm pretty sure they weren't the tactics he was sent on with.

He likes scoring against Leeds.

If we were ever in a situation where an outfield player had to go in goal I am sure Calde would be front of the queue to don the gloves, he'd more than likely pull of a wonder save or stop a penalty too and cement the legend status even further.

At Hull I noticed him looking back to check that his left back spot was being covered by Murphy as he went a couple of his rampaged runs forward. Seemed to get a bollocking off Stockdale and then Knockaert early on but then settled in well and did a good job. Kept Snodgrass quiet but not the fastest winger in this division.

Well maybe he should just throw his face at the ball a little bit more.

UTA!!
Even "if" we got promoted id still want Calde to be offered a 1yr deal.... the guy is a legend and will hopefully be part of the team and backroom forever... giving him the chance to ruin out for the stripes in the PL when we're 4-0 up at selhurst with 5 to go would be a treat.

Not seen such Bravery!
So would I, but on promotion a squad limit of 25 over 21s would be imposed for PL matches. Would Calde make pick 25 ?

He can make the 25 after the Jan transfer window!!!

Give him a place on the coaching staff to replace Jonesy...but keep his player registration

There's a reason why Hughton hasn't replaced Nathan Jones yet and just has Rusk filling in... #JustSaying

Just one tiny point, Nathan Jones is a qualified coach, Inigo Calderon isn't. Maybe he will go on to take his badges with us, but that will take time.

Inigo Calderon on being a striker
Albion Roar: You said that 'keeping a clean sheet is as important as scoring a goal'. Now that's a load of rubbish, isn't it?
Inigo Calderon: I know. I have to say that on the radio. I love to score goals. I LOVE to score goals. I am like a kid - if I score in training I am so happy. Of course, from a professional point of view, my work is just keeping a clean sheet but if I can score... oh my God.
On his goal at Peterborough...
Albion Roar: You scored at Peterborough...
Inigo Calderon: Yeah. It was quite cheap to be fair. It was a corner, and I tried to kick the ball, like, three times. I don't know how you can remember this...
AR: Oh, we watch it all the time...
IC: I want to forget this goal.
AR: Was the the worst goal you've ever scored?
IC: Yeah, probably.
Calderon on Withdean...
Inigo Calderon: No roof on a stadium in England is mad.
Calderon on the first game at the Amex...
Inigo Calderon: I got the first yellow card at the Amex. It was a firendly game. Remember Gareth Bale - he has tried <jam?> and cheat, you know. I didn't touch him...
Albion Roar: He's never done that before...
IC: He's doing it now. He tried to cheat against me.
Calderon on the next match (home to Palace - we won 3-0)...
Albion Roar: With the injuries to Craig (CMS) and to Buckley, and the suspension to Ashley, would you like to play upfront?
Inigo Calderon: Yeah. I would like to, I would like to. I would never consider myself as a full-back.
AR: What's you favourite position? If you had the choice, where would you really like to play?
IC: Maybe centre-midfield. Like I said to you before, I would like to be a striker just because I like to score goals. I am like a kid and a I just want to score goals.
AR: Why won't Gus let you play upfront?
IC: He was thinking that, and we, like, train and we have fun and games and I always want to be upfront. I like to be upfront. I feel like I've been too many years in defence. Now I know what the defenders hate from a striker, so you just have to think - and it would just be a brilliant experience.
AR (Al): A bit like Adam Virgo. Virgo was a centre-back and Mark McGhee stuck him up front, helped by Steve Claridge
AR (Ady): The only place Virgo didn't play was in goal, and I'm sure he would given the chance.
AR (Al): Do you want to play in goal?
IC: Let me tell you about another small dream. 93rd minute, and the goalkeeper is sent off. It's 1-0 and it's a penalty. And I have a really good side, and I dive one way - I'm not going to say which way - and I am going to save this goal for sure.
AR: I love all these fantasies coming out. How many times have you won the World Cup?
IC: Ah, that's too much for me...

He has his UEFA 'A' Pro Licence badge, which he took in Spain.
