Interesting to see how the new boss utilises Parrott.
Can he play with Ferguson? I think I'd prefer to see Szmodics paired with Evan. But Troy can do a #10 job for sure. |

He's had a very nice season so far, let's not ruin it by him going to Ajax where he'll get swallowed up again. He needs time to improve still.

Was wondering how long the reports of Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV ready to swoop for him would take to be emerge. Exactly the same rumours with Crowley and Byrne , before they went back to League 1 mediocrity once their spell at the bottom end of Eredivisie had finished.

He’s in top 10 league scorers having played around half the minutes for one of the weaker teams in league.

Its like scoring 7 goals for St Mirren. Better than nothing but not evidence he is ready for bigger things. There's only a few teams in that league above League 1 level. Hope he can get a permanent transfer to a decent club in summer.

Which is what the rumours are about, yet you took a swing at those. So in conclusion Conan, you belittle his achievements in your first post and mock the rumours they have given rise to and in your second post you hope he gets a decent transfer in the summer. Have a good think about what a muppet you are and take as long as you need there Conan.

The absolute devastation of certain posters that Parrott, Idah, and Connolly have been scoring regularly this season is hilarious - you'd think it was a Hun forum with the amount of bitterness on display.

It is not a crime being a bang average player, with a mediocre scoring rate, playing at a modest level of football. You can make a good career out of that.

He’s just turned 22. If he was 27 and doing this that’d be a fair comment but I think he can still kick on again. His complete lack of pace means it’s unlikely to be in the Premier League but I don’t think it’s unrealistic to think he can play Europa League level.

Where has the perception come from that he’s slow?
Saw an interview recently with Ogbene who said it’s between him and Parrott as the fastest player in the Ireland squad…

That's because for many on here the only football they consume is the EPL. If our players aren't doing it there, it doesn't count

Really? Surely obafemi, festy and even Connolly a good bit faster? I do think his lack of pace gets exaggerated. Don’t think he is slow.

He’s slow for an attacker, especially compared to the attackers that we have; Connolly, Idah, Ogbene etc. He’s probably technically better than all of them though.

Full tilt speed and explosive pace are different too, on the graphic Sky Sports had about Ogbene it had O'Shea listed as the 5th quickest player in the PL but you'd never guess that watching him play (or at least I wouldn't have). Ogbene and Ebosele both have electric pace with the ball which causes nightmares for defenders. I wouldn't have though Parrott was that quick but he isn't a slouch either. Nice having a few fast players in the team for once.

Ok I've had a good think about it as instructed but still unable to see the contradiction between hoping TP gets a decent move away from Spurs and not giving much credibility to the plausibility of the inevitable Irish Twitter account claiming special knowledge of all the big Dutch clubs wanting a piece of Parrot action, any more than I believed the exact same rumours about Byrne and Crowley which credulous Ireland fans such as yourself lapped up at the time. You sound really on the ball and in the know though Scissors so please do educate me. Sorry to make you cry in to your cornflakes this morning.

They're a lot quicker off the mark maybe - which tbf is more important in football. You don't often see lads running at full tilt in a game, it's generally shorter 10-20 metre sprints.
