Even if don't keep him at the minute he's form ain't doing us no harm
Kane esque
There was nothing elegant about the finish, but it ended up in the net. He won't care that it gets no marks for style.
What you don't see in the clip is that he started the whole thing from his own box and he hussled, and chased the ball to regain possession on the half way. Determination, energy, and persistence are excellent attributes to add to goal scoring ability.
He’s got the goal scores touch. Not sure if it’s just an insane run or beginning or something bigger.
He’s earned a real look. Hope he gets it.
Typical Harry Kane finish aiming for the open legs of the GK.
I had a big smile on my face after watching that.
Lol he's actually very lucky. Not at all Kanesque he telegraphs it and wins the lotto anyway. But good luck to him. Sometimes luck is important, think Kanes free kick against Villa. Get him a year on loan at a Burnley or prehaps Bournemouth if he cuts him in the squad.
Yeah gets about 4-5 bits of good fortune leading to that goal but pressing does cause mistakes so fair play to him because he only played his last game in Netherlands 2 days ago and joined up with the Ireland squad late.
Problem is Veliz has not played for a year (last matches before joining Spurs playing for Argentina u20's in June and last regular games in Argentina league last March (15 ,months or so ago), so needs regular game time to get back up to speed. He won't get that at Spurs, he will with a better chosen loan probably Championship or League 1.
Lankshear is aged 19 but played youth to date only, although he's now built more like a man, a loan to L1 until Christmas and a Championship loan in H2 if he's performing well in L1 is probably his best bet to get experience playing mens football.
Parrott atm is the guy in form playing mens football. so if Ange manages his minutes we can see what his real level is - and being club trained is an extra player (unlike Veliz who would take up an overseas trained place in uefa squad) - so he's a free pick on top of spurs usual squad and if he performs its great but if he doesn't its no big issue. Its a 6 month or one year trial for Parrott at Spurs, its not a life time decision.

Parrott brought on in 62 mins so almost 30 mins tonight to make his mark, after joining up with the squad late (2 days ago I think) due to his Play off matches for Excelsior in Dutch League.

I would rather have Parrott as No.2 to new striker. Richie mentally won’t sustain being on the sub bench. So
sell Richie
loan Scarlett
keep Lankshear in U21 setup for at least first 6 months then maybe loan if he’s outgrown it
buy proper striker
give Troy 3 year contract.
have Son and Kulu as emergency striker.
Simples.

Getting in early with the suggestion.... he's just a one season wonder!!!!
hard to say. Maybe 6/8m now and half that before.
This place is something else at times.
