Direct question -
You've spoken about your options, is this an opportunity accelerate the development of Ryan Sessegnon or Troy Parrott? Are they in your thoughts?

So it cant be spun that Mourinho mentioned his name.
Either he is not doing it in training or Jose is just blinkered when it comes to players of his age. I still think it was a mistake to sign the contract while Jose is in charge there.
Rashford only got his chance at United when there was an injury crisis and United had no other options. Its like that for Spurs now. You would think they would throw him in and see what happens
Look at Dortmund against PSG last night. Haaland 19, gets 2 goals. Sancho 19, and Giovanni Reyna off the bench age 17.
Teenagers can flourish when they get a chance.
This could be a very pertinent factor.
This injury crisis and having no players plays into Mourinho’s hand when it comes to negotiating with Levy over budgets in the Summer. Parrot being a credible option does not suit the agenda.
While I was advocating patience on Troy’s part I am amazed he hasn’t at least featured on the bench now.
If it makes you feel any better, both Connolly and Obafemi have scored more EPL goals than Stokes, and by the end of the season both will possibly surpass his EPL appearance record. They also have more EPL goals than Aiden McGeady, Simon Cox and Patrick Bamford and are only one shy of Daryl Murphy's tally. Also Adam Idah has more FA Cup goals than Stokes.
Ambitious move from Dundalk to try get Parrott on loan.

If Spurs were willing to let him go on loan to LOI that cannot bode well and would indicate he isn’t just not quite ready to play in the Premier League but that they feel he is way, way off.
Oh Dear !
No convictions so maybe the apple has fallen far from the tree. He must be doing very well with those car sales though. :)
Its a real shame, those criminals are from crumlin and Troy is from summerhill, so its not like they were neighbours growing up or anything
Mourinho is all about the mind games.
I remember reading years ago that 90% of what he says to the press is aimed at his players.
So him saying Parrott is not ready is designed to get a reaction out of Parrott as much as anything.
Doesn’t look like the young lad is exactly applying himself of late.
