Kyle Bartley - retired

[Dumbo]

Thanks for the service.

[Josh1873]

Well, that's really strange timing.

blimey didn't see that coming. 232 games is some service Kyle so thanks for that.

Real shame. Got spoken about terribly by some people including that moron Lepko, had some bad moments but was superb in the play off team under Carlos. Not his fault the club was in freefall and chopped and changed manager - including appointing some dreadful ones (Bruce).

Well, that's really strange timing.

Knee injury that he hasn't been able to recover from

Captain Shitbeard finally walks hobbles the plank.

That's for Blues.

Cheers for the other 231 games. That Ballon d'Or eluded you in the end.

Decent servant and a good defender when drilled by the right type of coach.

Wholesale change in CHs over the last few seasons now - Bartley, Ajayi, O'Shea and a few loan misfits all gone.

Hoping that Phillips, Griffiths and the DMs will all be stepping up otherwise the GA column could take a pasting this year.

Yes he had a few poor games like all players do but he got some ridiculous criticism.on the whole I think he has done a good job

Fair fucks to Bart's. To walk away from another 12 months of decent money for the good of his body but also the club is very admirable.

Good defender, good leader and a player that will be tough to replace.

Wow! That was very unexpected, (for me anyway.)
Strange timing. But thanks for your time at the Albion. Some games excellent and played like a warrior and others……. But I guess that’s the same for the majority of players.
