Apparently we have offered him a contract. He didn’t exactly set the world on fire did he, but I suppose he could be a good freebie. |  |

I thought we were recruiting a level above us. |
I think this level above has been taken too far, clearly they are looking at better caliber of players, but the blueprint and DNA is also to find youngsters that have a high ceiling whilst adding in some key experience which is one of the reasons Ashton is coming in.
Spunking millions on out of contract Championship players isn't the number one goal. |  |

I think the chances of him coming here permanently are close to zero. He's very well regarded at Spurs and even if they were to decide to let him leave permanently he'd have suitors from the lower Prem (likely with a view to loaning him out initially) and the Championship. A loan might be possible. |
Come on now Herbers, he's McGuinness, only up front. |  |

Last season he wasn't much better than "alright", but it was his first season of league football and he was very young. I wonder if we might get a fair bit more out of him in season 2? |  |

I thought he was pretty bad to be honest. Gave the ball away so, so much it was ridiculous.
Has obvious glimpses of quality but needs to concentrate on the simple things much, much more. |  | | |

Not sure some are really looking at the bigger picture when considering Parrots spell with us. How many 19 year olds really tear it up at any level of pro football? especially when loaned out to a completely dysfunctional team.
Harry Kane at a similar age was not really pulling up trees while on loan, 0 goals in 3 loan appearances for the scum and 2 in 13 at Leicester. Not exactly prolific and yet he went on to do quite well.
This obviously doesn't guarantee that Parrott will go on to be as good as Kane but its far too soon to be writing him off. [Post edited 28 May 2021 17:24]

Before Norwich he had scored 12 senior goals
Anyway, the point being is we don't know how Parrott will develop. All we can go on is what he did in his time here which wasn't that much.
If he joined perm and and we developed him as our player, not an issue
but with squad size limits etc, % turnover rules, if a loan i'd rather it be someone who will actually improve the side from the get go [Post edited 28 May 2021 15:16]

Nah. Parrott is a full international and is genuinely highly regarded at Spurs, he's torn it up at youth level for them. McGuiness had barely featured for Arsenal's u23 team or for the RoI's u21s. |  |

Clearly a good player in there but did overplay a lot. Perhaps that was born out of frustration and the quality (or lack of) around him but it's not half frustrating to watch. |  |

He would be good in a PC system with a properpre season. I also feel Dozell, Downs, Woolfie & Edwards would be good in the same situation |  | | |

I found he got in everyones way, if it wasn't Norwood, he'd take over Judge's position etc
I think he tries to be Kane to much tbh, needs to get his own identity | |

Yes he is 19, but it's pointed out on here that he's a full international like it should make a difference... so if that's the point then age shouldn't come into it
Anyway we're talking about areas he needs to develop, nothing wrong with that. And as you say plenty of time for it
But, if it's a loan.. why us, let another club develop him for spurs. Loans should only be used for emergency cover or genuine team enhancers. As yet Parrott isn't one. | |

Judge's positional discipline wasn't great tbf, we needed a leash for him. Parrott was similar in many respects, but in that side last year I would be inclined to give them both the benefit of the doubt, they were trying to make something happen among a sea of sh1t. They were 2 of a handful that at least looked willing.
Parrott might or might not look better in a better side, but who knows. I think he's absolutely worth another punt though. | |

Of all the loans he did at least contribute something i'll give him that, and his first few games he showed glimpses of what he could become. | |

I thought his spell was a bit of a disappointment, to be honest. If he's the new Harry Kane, as per the hype, then I think he ought to have made more of an impression in League One, even if he is only 19. Kane at a similar point had had a very good spell with Millwall in this division, if I remember rightly, before his career stalled a bit at Norwich and Leicester.
And re the Kane comparisons, I can't see that he's ever going to be that type of striker, just doesn't look predatory enough, which was presumably why he ended up as a number 10.

Kane had also had a first team debut for spurs before going to Norwich too. Plus a couple of bench appearences. With a first team hattrick in pre season too
he broke his metatarsal on only his second appearance for Norwich, then was recalled in February.
20 days after he was then loaned to Leicester where he scored on his debut, and helped them get to the play off semi finals.
Basically, Kane had achieved much much more than parrott - obviously parrot has more years to go, but even early on, Kane was in the first team picture, where as Parrott is the 'could be' [Post edited 28 May 2021 16:04]

But to be fair, we're not looking for the next Kane (as nice as it would be) everyone develops at different stages, Jamie Vardy was 25 before he hit the big time.
Bit harsh on him to compare his stats with Kane, and then dismiss him because his trajectory isn't/hasn't gone in the same line.
I actually think he could be an asset for us, in a fully functioning side. | |

Kane got 7 in 22 at Millwall so decent but again not prolific. I'm sure Parrott would have got a few more if he had been at at team that were not as woeful in the final third as we were, Peterborough for example.
I agree that overall he wasn't brilliant here and also that he probably won't be the next Kane, just think there were mitigating circumstances to his low goal return and that some are perhaps writing him off a little too soon. | | | |

Of course, no 1 has said we are
But the hype on Parrott has been based around him being the next Kane, where as at the moment he hasn't actually done anything of note in his loan spells to suggest he's anything to get any side excited about at this level either. [Post edited 28 May 2021 16:09]

No, but your discounting him because he isn't in parallel with Kane's career to date. | |

Odd how we all see things differently isn't it?
I thought he was good, has a decent touch and works hard.
If anything, I often felt he was trying too hard and then dropping deeper for the ball which was a hopeless exercise.
Final few games we saw more of what he was capable of, but too little too late for many I guess.
I'd have him back in that 10 role as Phil alluded to and give him some consistency to work it out properly in that position, certainly not a Harry Kane type of player. |  | | |

I'm discounting him because I just don't see what the fuss is about, especially as it woud likely be a loan. As a perm, go for it, see how he develops, just don't spend alot of money to do so, but I wouldn't put all our hopes on him. [Post edited 28 May 2021 16:13]
