[Albion] Jose Izquierdo - released by the Albion

[GT49er]

He hasn’t played first team football yet since coming back - he’s not worth much at the moment as an asset as nobody will pay out for him until he proves fitness - give him a chance.

We can't afford to 'give him a chance' - we need our strongest possible team for every game. If he plays some full games for the U23s and sets the EPL2 alight, then could be on the bench right at the end of the season. No sign of him doing that so far.
If he's still under contract to us next season, and fit, maybe we can loan him out (I doubt if anybody will buy because of his injury).

Well obviously he’ll have to earn that chance by showing he’s ready - obviously. Don’t get your post tbh.

Too many people wanting to trash our players. If he were to come back and be like he was he adds a complete new dimension to the team... a big IF but as you say give him a chance. I guess the £67m loss means no one coming in so what would be the point of selling him (or just letting him go) has to be worth a gamble . As others have said the people who make decisions are in a better place to decide.

Loan out

My eyes at the Amex say he’s there today which is interesting - with the squad. Not sure he’ll be in the squad as hasn’t played much but hopefully it’s near....

Would be very surprised if he's in the squad - hasn't played for the U23's for a few months.

Do you really think that would make a difference? If his ball number rolls out of the machine, he's in!

Named on the bench for tonight’s game against Spurs.

 

[Seasider78]

On the bench really pleased for him after such a long road back

 

[Sirnormangall]

Give him the last 10 minutes when we’re 3-0 up

 

[LamieRobertson]

Great to see him on the bench

 

[Mackenzie]

So pleased to see him back in the squad.

Great stuff.

 

[elwheelio]

It must be lovely for Izzy just to be involved. Good luck to him, I hope he gets some minutes. It's a shame we can't all be there to give him the welcome he deserves.

Frankly I'm shocked to see him on the bench.

 

[zefarelly]

Me Too SSE, but it can only be a good thing.

On for March and tear it up after 70 odd minutes.

 

[Seasidesage]

Interesting he must be showing something like his best form in training to be in the squad surely?

 

[Farehamseagull]

Wow! I was not expecting to ever see him in a matchday squad for us again.

I know he’s unlikely to get on today but I am intrigued to see him play.

Assuming his bench appearance means the coaches are confident he's now fit enough to play some minutes and genuinely make an impact it will feel like a new signing. So pleased to see him back. Hopefully he gets some time on the pitch in the new few games.

Next up, the return of Andone!

Definitely.

Looking back, I think Potter saw a weakness at right back for Spurs with Serge Aurier kicked out. I think pace and directness on the left could have worked well for us if needed.

However, once the game started, Potter had too many other weaknesses in the Spurs side to worry about.
