17 teen year olds probably don’t know the Mourinho anti-football enough to be giving the chance . Young fellas when they play football rarely dream of playing anti-football.

Not even on benchComment

That is no surprise and to be fair jose has been more than clear that troy parrot will not be playingComment

The only surprise is that some people are still surprised. His advisors should be making it clear that if there's no prospect of minutes or a loan move there's no prospect of him signing a contract.Comment

Call me old fashioned but a 17 year old at the Champions League finalists might be better served keeping their head down neck wound in and keep grafting, not advising their representatives to push for a move or threatening to not sign a contract.
Parrott got game time against Colchester and was poor as Spurs were embarrassed and neither Pochettino or Mourinho, two top managers have seen enough to give him much more.
Keep training keep trying keep playing if you are good enough and apply yourself in the right way the chance will come.Comment

There's sense in that alright but he's hardly playing any football at all, not even for the Under 23s. Add that to a manager with a track record of ignoring young up and coming players and there's a lot to be concerned about, even though he is just 17 (18 in a few days time).
It's obvious that there is no route to meaningful first team football for him at Spurs at the moment. I find it mystifying though that they won't let him go out on loan for a few months for game time. Somewhere like QPR, who are about to lose Nahki Wells and need a forward in, would be a great short term move.Comment

Perhaps a tad harsh there I will accept that but he certainly done nothing against League two opposition to suggest he is ready for Premier League football (obviously neither Poch or Mourinho have seen it either) and for a manager who’s sole focus is results and try to climb back into the top 4 a proven experienced and in Son at least world class square-ish peg in a round hole is a better option.
I just don’t think we have much ground for complaint with Spurs. The player seems content, the club are happy with him and notions of possibly turning down a contract at club at that level as a 17 year old I can’t fathom at all.Comment

Linked with a load to Charlton in the daily mail:
Am not a big reader of same so unsure how reliable/informed or otherwise their football news/rumours are.Comment

Has been linked on and off with Charlton, who are interested. Idah been linked with Charlton as well. Key barrier is whether Spurs willing to let him leave or not. He turns 18 after the transfer window which is awkward, as can’t sign new long term deal until then.
Don’t think Mourinho will allow him leave, perhaps will depend on what they bring in, which is nothing so far. After all, Mourinho has him in a “specialized programme” to ready him for first team football, big opportunities await themselves starting from the FA cup replay vs Southampton....Comment

Why? he has already sign a pro contractComment

A game of cat and mouse until then. Spurs potentially more reluctant to loan him in case he “lights things up” (or even with Spurs themselves if he played first team prior to 18) and he returns to spurs in summer with the world at his feet and only 12 months left on his contract; and from the players standpoint, he can’t sign before the transfer window with stipulations included such as a loan move this week. Obviously a fear from player is that he gets left in no man’s land until next summer once he signs the long term contract after transfer window closes. That’s my take on it anyways.
Either way, I remain optimistic. Parrott will be okay, his talent will shine through. Mourinho taking things nice a slowly with him, optimizing him before unleashing him onto the premier league stage...Comment
