Well, I guess if Parrott goes to Charlton or QPR and hits the ground running, then I can forgive Mourinho - it's probably too late for him to feature in the play-offs anyway, so might as well get him some first-team football so he's ready to step up when Kenny takes over from MickComment

Spurs fan here.
He hasn't a chance of progressing at Spurs and he just needs to look across the dressing room at Kyle Walker Peters to look at what can happen talented young players at Spurs.
Walker Peters was a heavily touted right back that won the U20 World Cup with England playing out of position at left back because he was seen as that good.
But at 19 Spurs stopped playing him in any underage games. Instead he travelled with the senior squad.
He is now 22 and hasn't played regularly for 3 seasons. A few minutes here and there. He has completely regressed as player. He was much better at 19 than he is now.
There have been situations were family members of young players have gone into Spurs to beg they that be allowed to be loaned out.
This is the trap for Parrott if he signs a long term deal next week. Mourinho has talked about him being ready in 3 years! Parrott has only played 1 game (u18 FA youth Cup) in 8 weeks. He is on the Walker Peters route. How can he ever be match fit surviving on only training.
The plan from Spurs and Mourinho was the debut and whole theatre of giving him a the matchday ball would be enough to get him to sign a contract. Fool him into thinking he was on the verge of something. But Kane's injury has shown up how Mourinho really sees him.
Spurs will no doubt sign a new striker before Friday. Spurs have to register their squad for the champions knock out rounds on 3 February 2020 (the day before Parrott turns 18). Parrott will lose his place in the squad to fit on one of Vorm, Bergwijn and whoever the new striker will be.
I would be shocked if he signed a long term contract. Either he is being badly advised or he has that much confidence in himself that he can break through against all the evidence that it's nearly impossible under Mourinho and Spurs.Comment

Interesting post. Who's to blame though? Obviously Pochettino, and Pochettino only, can be blamed (if that's the right word, maybe he just wasn't as good as the alternatives) for not playing Walker Peters? Whose fault is it that he didn't play with the U23's or go out on loan? Is it some sort of club policy? Or was it just a case of Poch not wanting to use or lose him?Comment

This is gonna sound ridiculous but it's significant Troy Parrott is back wearing white sock in Spurs training today.
When Spurs youth team players are training with the first team they are made continue to wear blue youth team socks.
It's a sign of status within the squad.
Back on the 29th November Mourinho promoted 3 players Tanganga, Skipp and Parrott to wearing white socks in training. https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/11/2...d-two-spurs-t/
But for the last two weeks Parrott has been seen training in youth team blue socks again amid talk of him not signing a contract.
But today with the talk of him making a deal that he would be allowed to go out on loan in exchange for signing a new contract he is pictures back wearing senior team white socks.
I expect the loan move to QPR or Charlton is in the offingComment

I see K WP has gone to Southampton on loan today.Spurs fan here.

I suppose Parrot could also look across the dressing room at Winks, Skipp and even Harry Kane, as players who were given a chance to come through there ?
Granted not by Jose, which could be key in all this.Comment

Can't believe he's 22. Still feels like a kid. I remember him making his debut against Newcastle back in 2017 after Kyle Walker had been sold and he looked ready made for the first team. In fact, Nathaniel Clyne had just gotten a serious knee injury at Liverpool and both KWP and Trent Alexander Arnold began the season starting for their respective sides. Two promising young english right-backs, while KWP won man of the match for Spurs, TAA struggled against Watford's physicality. Based on that early season form, most would have thought KWP was the better prospect but Spurs spend £22m on Aurier more or less on deadline day, while Liverpool persevered with Trent.

Skipp has played 397 minutes in the last 12 months including underage at an important time in his development.
He can look at the highly touted Onomah and Edwards which Spurs ruined.
Pochettino brought through one academy player in his five years (Winks). Mourinho will be worse.Comment

Certainly.
It's: you.
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!
