The other Izzy (Brown) has been released by Chelsea. After a series of seven loans - inc Sheff Wed - he's due quite a pay cut, I imagine.

The most curious thing..
Was he a record signing at the time? I forget.
Not his fault, but proved to be a complete waste of the money.
The transfer market is a total gamble. Win some, lose some.
We lost this one.

Gutted, was half hoping he’d make a come back in the stripes.
Bit harsh, for those that saw him play when he was fit, he gave us some great moments.

Time to trot this out again...a few of the snaps I got of ‘that’ goal which I’ll likely never repeat
Talking of players released…..

Yep, football is a bit more safety first and we don't play with genuine wingers so his chances were unlikely here. Very sad, as an explosive player on his day, and that goal against West Ham at the Amex was sublime

Insanely good! The most ‘postage stamp’ Albion goal I’ve ever seen.

Good luck Jose. I really hope that those games where Hughton was clearly playing him despite unfit didn't cause longer term issues. A top player and top attitude.
Looked largely disinterested for us. Never felt he justified a place in starting line up ahead of some the team that got us promoted.

Sadly the injuries done for him
He got injured in the Cup game against Palace. He would have played a part at Brighton if he hadn't got injured in that match. He is a good player. Whether he has the same attitude for Football as he had back then is anyone's guess

Good luck in the future Izzy! Would have loved him to return, but i guess this was inevitable.

Not seen such Bravery!
Not a complete waste of money at all.
He gave us entertainment, important goals and points. We may not have stayed up without him.

Hopefully he finds another good club, he had moments of magic for us but ultimately never quite fulfilled his potential.
I still remember my jaw dropping seeing this live!

Same here, At first glance it seems to me his knee issue got so bad as we were playing him until the end of the season (through necessity) when he could have done with ending the season early and going off to have his knee op.

Just gutted. Obviously we've known this for a long time, but still gutted to see it confirmed. What an amazing star he may have turned out to be without the injury. I do hope he can get back to playing regular football

Watching his goals video... we've so missed that flair player who's all about pace and trickery. An attacking player who scares defenders, and makes them back off us.
Our priority signings should be a striker, left back, and an Izzy type winger.
