For a club with ambition in the championship he was a good third choice bit no more than third choice! Definitely replaceable and of we had kep Dervite and Morrisson I would have let him go however, with the number of senior centre backs we have in the squad beside him being zero I'd say unless we have 3 lined up we shouldn't let him go...
It's part of Roland's master plan, technically he doesn't need to be paying footballers wages for June and July so he lets them all go and then on Aug 1st signs up whatever (Belgians) are left club less, all on deals that expire on 31st May 2015. Simples.
Not surprised by this , I think he would be a good signing for Rotherham and it would mean a move back to his home area. I think he is a family man and will want a longer contract which the Millers may have granted .
In terms of Charlton if we did get a modest fee then it is also good business . We signed him on a free and after a good start I started to feel he was a weak link towards the end of the season . I think he is replaceable although I did like the fact he was left footed . I hope Harry Lennon can step up ,but if he can't I hope we sign another left footed centre back.
It's OK. It's because of Financial Fair Play. It's because he's too old and there's better value in youth. It's because Little Alfie Naylor's coming through. Yes, he's only 7 but he played for the U9s last year, but if you don't blood them early you'll never know.
Some great banter on this thread, love it. Can't wait for the replacement centre backs to sign then we can enjoy debating whether they are a step up or back in terms of quality on who we've released.

Absolutely the underwhelmed brigade must be licking their lips :-0

I don't really rate Wood, although he was decent cover in the circumstances of last season, but you surely need at least three experienced centre halves even if you have good kids coming through. Ask Curbs.

Never rated Curbs as a centre back plus too old at this stage?

One year deal that Richard Cheltenham at the SLP said had an automatic extension which had been triggered.
So maybe that's not the case and he's free to talk to anyone.
Or maybe Wood still has the option to trigger an extra year if Rotherham or another club don't offer him a better deal.

Good luck to him.
