Troy Parrott F Excelsior Rotterdam (loan from Spurs) b.2002

[nigel-harps1954]

FWIW, I do remember an Irish kid at Man City scoring five against one of Man Utd's underage sides, think his name was Bermingham.

<EDIT>

Found it, it was four, and his name was Karl Bermingham (link below is dead)

Jesus that's a name I've not heard in a while. Shows how wrong it can go for a young player. Bellingham became an average LOI First Division player at the likes of Monaghan and Waterford.

Hardly "news" really, but besides releasing a few other players as expected, Spurs are keeping TP, at least for now:

"Meanwhile, the contracted Troy Parrott remains on the books at Tottenham, with his current deal running until 2025.
The Republic of Ireland striker, who netted the winner in Tuesday's friendly international against Hungary at the Aviva Stadium, suffered relegation on Sunday with Excelsior.
However, he scored seven goals in his last three games with the Eredivisie side, as well as 10 other goals over the course of his loan with the club, and the Dubliner will hope his exploits in front of the posts has caught the attention of Ange Postecoglou."

Hoping for a few quid from some Dutch club?

Yep I think your right
His best bet is in to stay in Holland
Even if he takes the risk of running out his spurs contract and then goes on a free next year

Spurs are still light up front, so I'm sure he will want to give pre season a go with them. That likely won't work out even with his recent improvement, but you never know, it would be great if a top 5 Dutch club took a shot on him.

I too bought a print for a client, looks like good stuff

[Acornvilla]

Fair play to both of you and especially Troy Parrott

There is no indication that he is anywhere near getting back into the frame at Spurs.

My guess is that they haven't released him from the last year of his contract since there is a decent chance a Dutch club will offer a few quid for him. Failing that, he might get another loan out there, to at least get his wages off the books.

Oh he's definitely worth 5 odd million (maybe less due to length of contract actually) in pure profit for FFP. Which is probably how all PL clubs look at academy players. I was thinking more from his own perspective, I'd assume he'd like to give pre season with them one final hurrah.

[Eirambler]

No chance they were going to release him after the season he has just had. He's still worth a few million to them this summer and they'll be open to offers I'm sure. While he didn't live up to his initial billing at Spurs they still have the opportunity to make a profit on him by the time he leaves.

I have two prints - one of Paul McGrath and another of Jackie Jameson framed and hanging on my basement wall! Bought them years ago now but will definitely pick up a phone case too!

He'd be a fool to even think that imo. Get your future sorted and out of Spurs asap. Last thing he needs is getting injured before a move is sorted.

Didnt he get injured last year and miss all preseason? Seem to remember thinking at the time that it couldnt have been worse timing. Took him a bit of time in the beginning to establish himself in the 1st at Excelsior because of it too.

Hes had a high enough profile at the end of the season that you'd think any clubs that might be interested in him would move fairly quickly, I'd be surprised if a few clubs werent looking at him.

Yep.

The Spurs contract is a red herring I think. Better a bird in the hand (interest from other clubs already it seems) than two in the bush (Spurs giving him first-team action)

If he reaches Spurs' level in the next couple of years, they or someone like them will still be there. I think he has to try keep the momentum of the last few months going
