West Bromwich Albion's released and retained list has caused a stir among fans, with the club wanting to keep Josh Maja and Karlan Grant. The list, which was announced on Friday, revealed that the club has released several players, including Jed Wallace, who was a stalwart of 140 league games for the Throstles. However, the club has offered new deals to goalkeeper Max O'Leary, who finished the season in credit in terms of goals prevented, and racked up an incredible eight clean sheets in 16 games. The 29-year-old goalkeeper has been a key player for the club, and his performances have been impressive. In contrast, the club's decision to retain Josh Maja and Karlan Grant has been met with a mixed reaction from fans. Maja started just 15 games last season, but his performances were impressive, and he scored three goals in six starts at the back end of the season. Grant, on the other hand, started just 17 games last season, but his performances were also impressive, and he was one of the best forwards in the league for ball recoveries in the final third, successful dribbles per 90, and touches in the opposition box. The club's decision to retain these players suggests that they believe they have a bright future ahead of them, and that they are committed to building a strong team for the upcoming season. The retained list also includes several other players, including Daryl Dike, who was released after four and a half years with the club. Dike was a popular player among fans, and his departure has been met with sadness. However, the club's decision to release him suggests that they believe he is not the right fit for the team's future plans. Overall, the released and retained list has caused a stir among fans, and the club's decision to retain Josh Maja and Karlan Grant has been met with a mixed reaction. However, the club's commitment to building a strong team for the upcoming season is clear, and fans will be eager to see how the team performs in the new season.
