Troy Parrott

Spurs have now shifted Vincent Janssen and Fernando Llorente, so Parrott should get a move up the pecking order on that account. But even then, VJ only made 3 x PL appearances last season, all from the bench, for a total of 36 minutes. FL made a lot more, but only 6 x starts, all of them when Kane was injured. And although he was then 33 going on 34, this was a guy with 24 Spain caps and 3 x Serie A titles with Juve, the most recent 2015/16. In the end, TP is still only 4th choice behind Kane, Son and Moura and there is always the chance Spurs will buy another, more experienced striker. You’d only be delighted if Parrott was to flop.  Must be tough for the Nordies seeing the wealth of prospects coming through our underage teams at the moment.  Doesn’t look like you lads have any players coming through at all.

While it's great to see Parrott see first team action after such a short time at the club, look how many strikers have seen minimal game time due to Kane (as Terri has outlined).

Personally not interested in any of Northern Ireland’s youth prospects who don’t want to play for Ireland. I certainly wouldn’t be on OurWeeCountry making comments pretending that I hope they do well in the future. Won’t be a popular opinion on here as you’re not really allowed to say anything negative or semi-negative about the North these days.

Troy Parrot probably get his chance in league cup,  if he grabs his chance he might get few cameo apps in league. If he proves himself capable of stepping up then Poch will trust him to lead the line if needed. If he doesnt take his chances then like Edwards he wont be seen again for a while. How versatile is Parrot, know he can drop deep like Kane, but if he can play across the forward line like Son and Moura he might see more mins.

I've a genuine question. Is Terri a Northern Ireland and Republic fan?

Terri’s fine when he isn’t going for the world record for the longest forum post.

I'm amazed anyone has ever been able to set up an account, ever. What's the secret? And why are they so paranoid?

Out of curiosity, I once registered using a spin on one of their noxious chants as a username. Try that. Imagine their surprise when they had to ban me after one post. Which, I might add, carried no offence except to reveal which team I supported. Looking around the place, it was astonishing how taken they were by us and how much 'the beggars' figured into even the most mundane of their musings.

IIRC, there were additional off limits areas, even for registered users. Because if bulletproof vests or keeping warm have taught us anything, layers are everything. And I doubt paranoia is any exception.
