West Brom fans have taken to Twitter to complain after the club announced that Cédric Kipré had joined Charleroi on loan until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old arrived at the Hawthorns back in the summer, joining from Wigan in a deal worth £900,000.
However, he hasn’t really been given a chance by either Slaven Bilic or Sam Allardyce.
The Ivory Coast Under-23 international has only made three appearances for the Baggies this season, with none of those coming in the Premier League.
Kipré has played two Carabao Cup games, while making one appearance in the FA Cup.
This lack of game-time provides the foundation for the West Brom fans’ complaints.
They feel that it’s a harsh decision to ship the Ivorian away from the Midlands, seeing as he hasn’t actually been given a proper chance to prove himself.
We can’t help but agree.
To now be in February without giving the centre-back a single minute of Premier League football doesn’t seem fair – it’s not like those in front of him have been playing well either.
The Baggies have, by far and away, conceded the most goals in the Premier League this season with 50 concessions in 21 games – 14 more than the next leakiest top-flight outfit.
