Fucking terrible deal for Spurs. We got skanked for such a small fee.

Hope we have a sell on and the prospect of us spending 4x that to get a striker that might not even be better is looming large.

Unless we sign a genuine star striker I'm 100% on the train for signing wing forwards now. After getting peanuts for Parrot, the idea of a Gimenez, Toney, or David level striker for 40m is bleak af.
Played less than 100 minutes for us...

I don't think it's a bad deal at all.
 
Jeez mate relax. It’s Troy Parrott not elite Kane.
I think that’s the issue here.
Parrott was our first post-Kane club-trained striker and suffered from increased expectations because of:
A) his early hype and success — breaking into the international squad at a young age.
B) the fanbase mistakenly thought that, having done it one, we could churn out Harry Kane — arguably a generational talent — after Harry Kane.

Good luck to Troy who will hopefully ply his trade successfully at a reasonable level — higher than most of our youth players — and, perhaps, earn us a decent sell-on.

He's going to be playing in Europa League, already a level most professional footballers can only aspire to. We might meet him there!
