Anyone who has been watching us more than a couple of years knows what Izquierdo brings to the team. We just need to be patient and allow him to get back to full fitness to show it. Andone is the same in many ways and if we can't bring anyone in, he'll be a fine addition to the squad and both put pressure on, and relieve pressure from, Connolly and Maupay. If either of them is having a bad patch, Andone can come into the side and it will mean they can get a rest from the pressure of needing to be among the goals every match.
Realistically, I think in an ideal world we would have sold Andone this summer and funded his replacement but that's not how it is so we should make the most of the players we do have. With respect to Potter, last season he fairly obviously didn't see a need for Schelotto or Jahanbakhsh in the first half of the season but when the team needed freshening up he gave both the chance to perform and both took it and became far more involved in the second half of the season. I have no doubt both Izquierdo and Andone would get the same fair treatment and be given the opportunity to earn their futures at our club.
