Troy Parrott

The hype is based on brilliant underage performances for Ireland. Shaun Byrne was a class act for Ireland 20 years and never made it. It happens. Parrott is only 19. He may end up leaving Spurs in the next two years but he isn’t finished yet. The best Premier League forwards of the 2026/2027 season are more than likely not playing first team football now either. 

With good reason his goals for Spurs and Ireland underage beinv the main one.

Back on the bench.

That is the quality that he has. Not even match sharp and he can come on and create things. It's criminal he was dropped from that squad.

I think Mourinho leaving will be good for Parrott as I don't think Mourinho would've trusted him even he scored 20 goals on loan. That's not a criticism of Mourinho as I thought he was spot on when he said Parrott wasn't ready and he's proven to be correct. 

It'll be interesting to see who Spurs get but Parrott overall hasn't justified his place in the Spurs squad. If Parrott performs well next season then whoever the new Spurs manager is may give him some consideration but Parrott needs to do it himself. 

I hope he goes on loan next season rather than playing in the Spurs U-23s/reserves. 

He also played well against Juventus if I remember correctly but the bottom line is, he's probably regressed if anything through a combination of injuries, poor form & lack of confidence since. 

Thinking about it again, it may do him some good to go back into the U-23s, get scoring and some confidence back and maybe get another loan in January. There might be a good bit of pressure on him to well on his third loan so under 23s may be a good shout going into net season.
