He’s gone to alkmaar in Holland and has scored international goals for Ireland in a shite team

We don’t need to spend what little money we have on a striker

Parrot is a very good player but isn’t an out and out striker more of a 10+

No to Willian.

Don't know enough about Parrot.

Between Spurs and Alkmaar Parrott spent three years in the Championship without scoring a goal.

without suggetsing it as a direct comparison, harry kane spent 3 years out on loan, scored a few in league 1, and barely any in the championship across two loan spells after that

point really just that sometimes it takes a while for a player to mature, parrott might be doing that right now, and probably available at reasonable cost

was just a random shout really, but he did get the winner last night away at Roma, and was eredivisie player of the month in december, Alkmaar paid 4mill euros last summer for him. Id take letting beto go and getting troy in instead.

More generally, just shows what value is about if you care to look around rather than punting on players like willian at the tail end of their careers.

He's 22, there's not enough potential there to make him worth buying. Move on.

Pleased at this but I have seen us sell Richarlison Digne Gordon Onana without improving on any of them so I can't say I'm that psyched about the money coming in

Thats enough money to buy 10 Seamus Colemans

Yes I do agree and I think Alan Shearer also took time to become a regular scorer. He is worth a punt but I still think the odds are long against him being a long term solution. Players seem to be scouted so heavily these days that it's rare for one to slip through the net.

Would love Ferguson and everton traditional forward, still room for them like wood, I just love this type of forward he would be a hero here and make wearing the no 9 justice, I don't feel DCL does sorry

Being linked to Marcus Edwards

22 goals and 7 assists in 30 matches playing in the German 2nd division last season with Fortuna Dusseldorf.

Never know if someone's going to make the step-up but they're incredibly impressive stats playing off the left wing.

Shame the source is arse

Wasn't he at Norwich?
