Troy Parrott

He is always showing for the ball, producing lots of useful flicks and touches, problem is no one else is on his wave length and most of the play gets hoofed. It must be very demoralising for the lad with such a bad team. Once this season ends, he can regroup and get back to Spurs for their pre season. He's probably not going to compete with Kane just yet, but he could still get 10-20 games a season at Spurs next year as they rotate and sustain injuries. Even if he doesn't get the chance, he also has the option of another loan period. Ideally he chooses a decent Dutch of Belgian team next time out. I am still very confident Parrott is going to be a big player for us in the years to come. He might not break Keane's goal scoring record, but he's more naturally talented than the likes of a Long or Doyle, so I think 20+ goals is definitely in his range. Understatement of the year.

Hopefully, but it could destroy him as well. Whatever his level is at the moment it's clearly not Championship or League 1 unfortunately. If he goes straight back out on loan next season and fails again there will be tough questions asked about his career. I'd definitely like to see him rebuild his confidence away from the limelight back in PL2 before he goes out on loan again.

They are even rarer now. Due to the physicality of the game you have to be strong enough to compete. Michael Owen, at 17, wouldn't get a game now, never mind for to a World Cup at 18. The likes of Haaland and Mbappé were stronger and more suited. Raw talent isn't enough anymore.

lads, I used to pop into ybig every few days to see what good news there was about Irish players - you know, who'd scored, who'd set one up, who'd gotten motm etc. f**k me it's been months since there has been any good news. Tonight I log in to find Parrott and Long can't get in lower league match day squads while Kelliher is mysteriously out at Liverpool still for no known reason. Its depressing.....

Not wanting to put too negative a spin on it but bar the sporadic positive reports, it might as well be this time last year when no football was played. Actually we were much more positive when football was suspended.
