Wonder what Jose would have made of an 18 year old Harry Kane, if he had come into Spurs around that time. Even Pocchetino needed a lot of convincing if i recall correctly. Jose is right though, Parrott is probably not good enough to lead the line for Spurs at the moment, nothing to get too worked up about.

I don't see Parrott even making it a decent level football club. Just my opinion and could prove me wrong but don't see him making it. He will end up in League 1 or LOI is my prediction.

Great stuff. So not based on having actually watching him play or taking feedback from professionally qualified people around him then. For the record, I don't necessarily completely disagree. It's really hard to pick lads who are going to make the step from hot prospect to star player. Recently we seem to have a lot of players who have been late developers and battled their way up through the levels. Parrott, based on what I have seen of him, looks to have the tools to break through. Hopefully he also gets the luck and possesses the resilience to actually make the jump.

I've seen him play a few times. Didn't seem to have anything about him. Molumby I've seen play a good few times and he has something about him and will be a decent pro. Can't say the same for Parrott.

I dont think you can say he doesnt "have anything about him". He is clearly very skillful and a super finisher. That is quite tangibly something.

i.e he scored lots of goals in junior football and underage level which doesn't really mean much and is not the litmus test that he will be a goalscorer at senior level. If it did my Palmerstown Rangers top goalscorer 1991 would have got me a living playing professionally. |

The chap is only 18 years of age.
His goal scoring record for under age is really good. There is a great opportunity for him at Millwall, it might take him a while to get match fit and to adapt to the physical side of things and to the different style of play and formation, but it's still way too early to judge. He'll need about 5/6 games to get up to speed. |

In order to forecast accurately, you look at previous results. Given his age, all we have to go on is his underage performances. Parrott has been superb up to this point. Let's see how he develops. |

In that case, you might learn to read properly sometime. What I said was that JM has FAR more say over transfers than previous Spurs managers. And that when it comes to signing/binning players, personality is AT LEAST as important as mere ability. Which if Sherwood is correct, COULD mean Parrott being good enough may not be enough to save him at Spurs. (I've CAPITALISED the key words to make it easier, since I fear you struggle with anything more than the simplest of concepts)

I saw Robbie Keane and Duff play when they were 17 and 18 and you knew they were going to be good. They were producing the goods at senior level at that age for their clubs. Duff I remember scored a wonder goal away to Sheffield Wednesday in 1998. Keane was banging them in most weeks at Wolves. Michael Owen was scoring and looking the part at 17 in the 1st team at Liverpool. If you are good enough you are old enough. If Parrott doesn't break through this season in a reasonably big way then I wouldn't be having much hope for him.

Very true. In fact he's only a few months younger than Kevin De Bruyne, who was 19 when he had a loan spell at Bremen. At the end of it, De Bruyne was linked with a move to stay in Germany permanently, until incoming Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho assured De Bruyne he was a part of Chelsea's plan for the
future, and the player returned to Chelsea in July 2013. In January 2014, Wolfsburg signed De Bruyne for a fee of £18 million, never to be heard of again. |

For every top class player who had their break through season at 17 there is one who had theirs at 20... Tbh I’ve been disappointed with his performances that I’ve seen as I was expecting more given his record at underage is so good. But at 18 he has plenty of time to improve. |

Sooooo we're all in agreement, parrott is potentially a good player but we won't know until he plays or doesn't play games...
Tragic thing is, he may not need to be that good to play as irelands main forward option. Mid table championship standard and hitting 8+ goals a season might do it. Saying that, I disagree with some of the posts on here regarding the quality he has shown so far, he has a way of making things look easy, he's a very good finisher, his movement looks very good, ill stick my neck out and say he's going to be an excellent premier league forward |

De Bruyne wasnt at Werder Bremen until he was 21. We've seen enough of JM to know he wont give Youth a chance unless he has no choice, afew token caps in the EL doesnt change that. I knew Parrott was in trouble once JM was named manager and sadly that's been proven. Also in regards to TS saying he isnt good enough I think what he means is he isnt good enough RIGHT NOW, ie an 18 year old whos not played any real senior football yet, but that doesnt mean he wont be good enough next season or maybe the season after that.

Parrott has played in 3 games in his senior career that lasted more than a handfull of mins, in his most recent one for Millwall he played very well, and only just back from injury. Give the boy time.
