Somewhere like AZ would be good for Parrott alright. He's going to be outside of Excelsior's price range and deserves to be further up the table, but I'd rather that he didn't go to another club where he might get locked out of the first team, which would maybe happen if he went to the likes of PSV or Feyenoord.
AZ could be a very good move for him. Vangelis Pavlidis has been there 3 season's now and in the league he's P37_G18, P25_G12, and P34_G29. AZ finished 5th, 4th, and 4th with Pavlidis as top scorer in each season.
Has a hat-trick inside the first half-hour tonight - 5-1 on aggregate now. That'll nicely help him in the shop window.
Still a final against NAC Breda to come, so they're not safe yet. Though NAC were eighth in the second tier, so you'd fancy Excelsior to be big favourites there.
Idah playing a massive part in a double for Celtic in Scotland and Parrott banging them in in the Eredivisie. About five years on from their initial breakthroughs, and having both been through some lean times in-between, the two of them are starting to come good.
Seems like the game's currently suspended? Flares on the pitch (how familiar...)
Presume it'll get back underway soon and the hattrick will stand!
Edit - It looks like the game was interrupted with 2/3 minutes to the break, so the ref called halftime early with the plan of playing 2/3 minutes extra in the second half
But I don't think the players have come back out yet
It's Den Haag fans causing the trouble, so at worst you'd imagine the score (currently 4-0; 6-1 on aggregate) will be let stand?

Yeah they'll either end the match with the score as it is or maybe bring them back tomorrow to play the second half without fans if that's an option.
Another goal for Parrott tonight in the first leg of the play off, a penalty to make it 3-2 just before half time, but Excelsior had a nightmare. Two red cards, and lost 6-2. Need a miracle in the second half this season
It's a pity Parrott wasn't one of the players sent off. Would have allowed him join up with us sooner.
Crikey - 3-0, so 5-6 on aggregate with 45 to go. Amazing tie. Two for Parrott in the first half. 16 for the season now; 9 in the last 8 games. 6 of those against second-tier opposition, but still. That's a great season's work (so far!) for relegation candidates
Would guess this match will have a reasonably high profile in the Netherlands too, so could be a useful shop window for him looking towards next season.
If Spurs were being linked with a 22 year old from Holland with a goal every 2 games or so their fans would be pretty excited. What's his contract situation at Spurs?
Its really not that complicated!!!
There's the hat-trick
4-0 now
Not to dampen excitement because what he's doing is brilliant but NAC Breda are a second tier side presently and so were Den Haag.Originally Posted by Razors left peg
Still, though, he's in a side that have played themselves into having to compete in this play off and he's had a good record even before the play offs.
He's doing himself a whole pile of good. Interesting summer ahead.
Yeah, Spurs is a very high bar, and I think he'd be better off going elsewhere for now even if this piqued their interest. He's done enough to generate a really good opportunity for himself.
You can't spell failure without FAI
