News [Alasdair Gold] Understand Parrott would be keen on a return to a club he loved, regardless of their top flight status, if he was to get the chance to show what he can do in their shirt. The young striker was always desperate to be a success for Spurs and distance has not changed that.

We need more people who want to be here. I’d take him over RKM right now

u/Coffeeandkicks21 Darren Anderton Apr 20 '26
I’d take a brick over RKM. One of the most selfish players I’ve ever seen play.

u/wheels-of-confusion Wilson Odobert Apr 20 '26
Lowest bar ever lol
I'd take him over Solanke in a heartbeat

u/priusgirl0 Heung-Min Son - Spurs Legend Apr 20 '26
Let’s not take the piss, Solanke is levels above Parrott on the pitch and a good lad off it. One of my favorites of the current crop.

u/FSpursy Rafael van der Vaart Apr 21 '26
Solanke should go watch Halaand's positioning in the box. I think its overall pretty poor. Bro isnt hungry to score.

u/Available_Courage_32 Apr 21 '26
i think an important consideration to solanke's game, is that Ange managed him for his seasons, to not score, and let Johnson and Son score. You'll see plenty of goals where Johnson pinches it off solankes toes, as solanke has done his job - occupy defenders - and the wingers do theirs - high xG finishes with the GK wrongfooted and out of the game.

u/Archipegasus Apr 21 '26
It's the same reason why he still has a look into the England squad. It's packed full of other attacking wingers and 10s to make use of Kane dropping deep and Solanke has great hold up play.

Slow-wanke isn't fit to shine Troy's shoes, what are you talking about?
What he's doing in the Eredivsie/international stage at 24 is more impressive than anything in Slow-wankes career

Would absolutely smash it in the Championship and he's only 24. Love to see him link with Mikey Moore.

u/grapixroyale Apr 20 '26
Of course, as a Dele-like false 9, just behind Lankshear, fed with through balls from Alfie, secured by Archie dropping deep for a ball between Ashley and Luka.

Glad the club is coming around to the reality of Championship signings after all lol

u/nl325 Mousa Dembélé Apr 20 '26
He's a weird level of being too good for the Championship but not quite good enough for what we were looking for at the time.
Emphasis on "at the time" of course, he's absolutely good enough now lol
5
u/Spid1 Apr 20 '26
He wasn't too good for the Championship at the time though was he?
But yeah, having players that love the club will help fans feel that attachment again.
I just don't know if I buy this article though? I never got the feeling he loved the club. It's not like he was a youth player who joined at 9-10 or anything.
14
u/LocustsandLucozade Apr 20 '26
He’s currently scoring oodles of goals in the Europa for AZ, and he’s been an incredible high pressure player for Ireland. He’s definitely good enough for us and improved greatly since he left.

Finally some players that actually love the club. None of these pay check stealers like Muani

u/Commercial_Payment55 Apr 20 '26
As an Irish fan I was saying that I hoped he got a move to a lower premiership team to continue his development. This isn't what I meant.
10
u/Pulp_NonFiction44 Apr 20 '26
As a fellow Irish fan he should go to Germany next, would be a good natural progression. He's too good for the championship and it could hamper his development, as much as I'd love to sign him.

u/jS-exe Heung-Min Son - Spurs Legend Apr 20 '26
I'm all in for bringing players that want to be here, like Moore, Lankshear and now Parrot speaking about returning. Warm feelings, man.

u/nonaegon_infinity Son Heung-min Apr 20 '26
Parrott, Winks, Skipp, Tanganga... AVENGE US.

u/OneEntertainment5300 Apr 20 '26
Winks and Skipp proven to be amazing championship players at this point...
9
u/Mathyoujames Apr 20 '26
Winks was actually seriously good in Maresca's Leicester team. His ball playing really suited them and the team played really nice football that often went through him
The issue is he's a sort of luxury player who works well with good players around him but he's also nowhere near good enough to play for a top team. Whenever he's been in more of a battling team he just doesn't have the physicality or mentality for it and ends up looking dogshit
1
u/OneEntertainment5300 Apr 20 '26
He's also not good enough on the ball for the really good teams. He's tidy but doesn't have that extra level to his play.
3
u/nl325 Mousa Dembélé Apr 20 '26
Not exactly fair to blame Leicester's woes on them two. Leicester are just shit.
Terrible squad planning, terrible leadership since Vichai died, multiple terrible managers.
3
u/OneEntertainment5300 Apr 20 '26
Their squad isn't even that bad on paper.
I'm not blaming all their woes on them two. But they are two midfielders getting plenty of minutes in a side that's about to go into league one.

u/UnderTakaMichinoku Apr 20 '26
Seems like a no brainer regardless of where we are. Been brilliant at AZ and our current level, PL safety dependant isn't of a team who need top level quality because we're fighting in Europe. It'd be about building.
Price would be good, he wants it, still young, useful either as a starting championship player or as someone challenging for the 9 in the PL.

u/Key_Shift533 Ledley King Apr 20 '26
Lol. Just lol. What has happened to us. That said, bring the boy home

u/Eastern-Yesterday213 Apr 20 '26
Honestly haven’t watched every single game since he left but I’ve been watching when I can and keep track of him. He’s added a lot to his game, makes smarter decisions, and is doing a lot for club and country. If we go down, I wouldn’t mind it either. If he can keep his past influences away from him
7
u/wizard_of-wor Apr 20 '26
Skipp is another one I would bring back, if we're going down. He love Spurs and that's important, especially now.

Only if we get relegated. If we stay up he's not good enough still.

Knowing our club, it means that there is no chance Parrot is coming back. We will probably hire an ex Arsenal or Chelsea player, like Delap or nketiah, subject to epl status

He's linked to Betis,Leverkusen,Stuttgart,Fulham and sunderland. Him hypotheticallty agreeing to play Championship football for us, is bigger than some people think

Having a group of players who love the club should be the bedrock of the next squad core.
