Bit gutted about this. The injury side I'll admit is an issue, but imo Wednesday have picked up a quality Champ performer on the cheap.
Luzon didn't fancy Rhoys, it happens in the game. Personally i don't think Luzon ever saw the best of Rhoys and suspect Rhoys is a player who responds to being wanted.
Be interesting to see how he gets on this year. Suspect we will be hearing good things from Op Pig
Hope I'm wrong but this could prove to be an error on our part. Injuries were a factor I accept but was still a very consistent performer, who I think was not suited to Luzon's style of holding the full backs rather than having them overlapping.
Gutted that Rhoys has left. Would have kept him as when injury free is a definate first team starter. Would rather have him then Fox but at end of the day down to what Guy thinks. Thanks Rhoys for all you have done for us and esp in the championship winning team.
One of my favourite characters /players of recent seasons. A really lovely guy who always stopped to exchange a few words when we were working on the Memorial Garden.
Wish I could have seen him face to face once more before he left to wish him well.
I liked him, but he was never the same player after the injury at S**thurst a few years back. Good, honest player who should get a decent welcome on his return to The Valley.
Good move for Rhoys, another 3 years of security, good chance of first team football, just hope Wednesday are not going to be this seasons Bournemouth, and in 12 months time regretting we let him go.
I've always felt he was a bit overrated by some of our fans. Never thought he was crap or anything, a decent player but probably lower third of Champ quality than anything else. Not disappointed to see him go but would thank him for his efforts and wish him best of luck.

Yep. My view as well. Seen some decent performances. Some very average performances as well.

A good player but not an outstanding one.
You might get a proper mauling for that.
For the record, I, also, agree with you but I wouldn't have said it on here.
So just two men standing. One with the knee issue and the other in the autumn of his Career. I hope Chris plays at least another 150 games for us and JJ is involved in coaching from next season with CAFC.
At the end of the day, that was a third division team, so perhaps it's not surprising that most of the team have moved on. 3 years after promotion to the PL, much of that team had gone, stalwarts like Brown and Robbo

At the end of the next season most of them had become part of a finishing 9th in the Championship team
Gutted to see him leave, but now my concern is 17 players released or sold since May and only 7 bought in! We had a small squad last season now it's even smaller!
Guess Roland is think "there's always the January Transfer Window" or he's the Belgium "Mike Ashley" either way he needs to start signing players ASAP

After we brought in obika ect , for most of that season we was flirting with relegation.

with a squads that had no investment in it after winning the league the season before tbf

A lot of those 17 never/rarely played or were part of the u21 squad. The squad size is about the same as it was, and it has been said we're looking to sign 2 more.
The 15 released:
Tal Ben Haim Simon Church Chris Eagles Roger Johnson Lawrie Wilson Oguchi Onyewu Neil Etheridge Jack Munns Harry Osborne Harry Gerard Kadell Daniel Kurtis Cumberbatch Kieran Monlouis Rhys Browne Levander Pyke
Technically right Scoham, but add Wiggins, Bulot and Buyens to that list, and made clear that Bikey, Pigott and Harriott aren't wanted.
Stripping out the unlikely to feature youngsters, that makes around 13 players that formed part of the first team squad. We haven't got close to replacing that yet
As well as a couple more signings it looks like Reza may get a chance again and we can expect to see KAG, RCC and possibly other youngsters given games this season. That would be close to the squad size we could expect.
We could also see players come in on short term loans/contracts as we did with Coquelin and some of the players above.

Stays injury free then Wednesday have a great player
Wish I could have seen him face to face once more before he left to wish him well.
Good luck, Rhoys.
Fox just doesn't have the skill and ability for this league!
Good, honest player who should get a decent welcome on his return to The Valley.
Best of luck Rhoys.
