That's a real shame. He is a far far better option than Martin.

This makes no f*****g sense what so ever? Let Williamson, mous or martin go out? Raglan is better than all of them, unless we are about to bring in another, but even then u still keep the best of the bunch surely
I have to say i am puzzled too...
Whaaaaaat?????!!!!
I think I'm in the minority when I say that I wasn't actually too impressed by him whenever I saw him play. Bullied out of too much in the air, though better with the ball at his feet. That said, in terms of potential he obviously has much more than the others back there. So yeah, odd decision.

Bizarre unless this means Dickie will now get a chance.
I’ve heard we’ve shown interest in a young CB at Liverpool called Lloyd-Jones
Still doesn’t make sense though..

Now I know we’ve lost the plot, Raglan is better than Marin and probably better than Williamson going on his performances so far.
Downright odd. Can only think it's to give him more game time.

Don't understand this at all.

He could get much needed game time here, the only logical explanation is that the other 3 are that f*****g bad that we couldn’t find a single club willing to take them
To be honest perhaps nobody wanted williamson Mous or Martin i certainly wouldn't. perhaps the club are reluctant to let mous go as he is the captain. (although not been playing well lately). I fully expect raglan to be back next season with some game time. I will be very disappointed though if Mous martin and Williamson are still here come end of season.

Mous, Williamson and Martin are not good enough. Why get rid of Raglan. Very strange decision.

Although, on the face of it, this is a strange one, could it be that he's nowhere near match fit and we want him to get games elsewhere, where he may not be under as much pressure?
Also it's strange, isn't it, how when a player isn't playing, he suddenly becomes a much better player in everyone's opinion?!?!

To be fair, I’ve always quite rated him. Him on the left with Nelson last six games last season was the best centre back pairing I’ve seen for us in a while. It really wouldnt take long to get him up to speed, he played 90 mins in the cup the other day. He’s much better with the ball at feet than any of the other 3, and still wins a lot of headers

Absolutely bemused by this decision. As has been said, Raglan is a far better defender than the ones currently being picked. I was really looking forward to seeing him play and bolster our increasingly fragile defence. Totally confused.
This was agreed prior to Pep leaving. I thought the delay was due to us looking to involve him.
Perhaps we've decided he will take a while to get up to full speed and feel it's best doing it somewhere else

Isn’t he out Of contract atthe end of the season, which means he’s free to talk.

I’m sure he’s out of contract at the end of the season
