Troy Parrott F AZ Alkmaar b.2002

Needs to go to the continent and play in a proper team. Being stuck out in the wing in the championship will not do anything for him. That's not what Ajax or Barca would do with their young players.

Should never have signed contract extension under Mourinho either.

Needs new direction quick, career could be non-starter otherwise.

Ajax are famous for playing their promising youth players in multiple positions to help develop their overall game

[brine3]

They don't ship them off to the churn that is Millwall, is what I am referring to.

[tetsujin1979]

they don't play many 18 years olds either

Ok ta

I really don't see the point of Parrott staying on at Millwall beyond this month. Spurs should get him out on a different loan while the window is open.

As long as he’s getting game time, I doubt Spurs will be that involved in looking for a new place for him. The service is poor, the talent around him mediocre, but Parrott is playing.

High quality players find a way to make an impact. This adversity is good for him in my opinion and I suspect Spurs will take a similar view.

I'd like to see him playing for a better team, but he's a teenager playing against experienced players in more meaningful games than sitting round in Spurs U23s so on balance it's not the worst situation to be in. There aren't that many wonderkids or even better than average kids getting a solid run of games in their teens at a decent level. The breakthrough age of players seems to be getting later compared to 20 or 30 years ago. With luck, it'll help his mental and physical development,and we'll see big results a season or two from now.

The service is poor, the talent around him mediocre, but Parrott is playing.

Surely this is the ideal preparation for breaking into the Spurs team?

Surely this is the ideal preparation for breaking into the Spurs team?

You may be right as Mourinho expects his forwards to do a lot in isolation, though I think his track record suggests he'll be gone before Parrott is ready to play for him. The question then becomes whether this is the best situation for his overall development.

[Diggs246]

If he get a goal.. the flood gate will open I guess.

[Diggs246]

He is playing with a partner today it appears. This might be the code to crack the parrot enigma...or not
