He hasn't played for a youth team for ..3 seasons now? It's like calling Deki a youth player because he's 22.Tanganga is 23, no longer a youth player in my opinion.

Etete apparently is gathering loads of interest, championship level teams wouldn’t be surprised if he leaves on a permanentIf we don't sign a striker then I think Conte might show more interest in Etete than Parrott. Due to his size and hold up play. Hope he gets a look at them both this summer.
What makes you think he'll leave on a perm? I would've thought another loan, at a higher level, would be in the cards because he did pretty well on his last one.Etete apparently is gathering loads of interest, championship level teams wouldn’t be surprised if he leaves on a permanent
He is not yet good enough for us and I very much doubt he will get a lower end PL loan. In fact, he might have to make do with another League One loan, as he hardly set the league alight with 8 goals and 7 assists in 41 (34 starts) games. If he can't get a good Championship loan, I would be happy for him to go back to MK Dons to try and prove he is capable of a loan higher up.For me the Parrot situation is both interesting and important.
I consider his MK loan a huge success, purely from a physical, mental and tactical maturity standpoint. He played a lot of games and ended up finding a nice groove.
This next season the club must weigh up whether to loan him to a championship/lower end premier league side or have him be a squad player.
Given the amount of games and the lack of forward options, I'm leaning toward the latter. Shadowing Kane and Son whilst playing 20 odd games seems ideal to me.
1 year left on his contract and not looking like he will ever be anywhere close to challenging for a 1st team spot.What makes you think he'll leave on a perm? I would've thought another loan, at a higher level, would be in the cards because he did pretty well on his last one.
I wouldn't have thought that we'd be looking to move him on just yet
I don't think any of ours are ready for a PL loan. None of our U23 players would get into that Forest 1st 11 and they will be looking to upgrade on that team.I would guess Steve cook at Forest will max out his academy loans with his connections. Be a good destination for any of ours.

Millwall were in the Championship not League One, also Kane had 2 more loans after Millwall. If we are comparing Kane's loans to Parrott's, Troy is at the same stage as Kane's Leyton Orient (League One) loan, so had 2 x Championship loans and 1 premier league loan across two seasons, before the season Tim Sherwood game him a chance at the end of the (third) season.I'm not so sure.
Harry scored 7 in 22 for Millwall before he came back to us. Hardly amazing numbers. Troy had a tough patch in the middle of the year that skewed his numbers.
If Conte likes him, I'm all for it

Neither the Leicester nor the Norwich loan was a success. Sherwood was of the opinion that he was ready after the Millwall loan and thought the subsequent loans a waste of time.Millwall were in the Championship not League One, also Kane had 2 more loans after Millwall.

The stats don't say the whole story as he only really blossomed towards the end of the season and wasn't really playing as a striker. But I agree, there is little to suggest he is ready for the PL and he may well never be.He is not yet good enough for us and I very much doubt he will get a lower end PL loan.

The loans may have been a waste of time, though you can still learn as a player after an unsuccessful loan. Development is what is important not 'success'. But there is no way Kane was good enough after his Millwall loan for anything aside from a bit role.Neither the Leicester nor the Norwich loan was a success. Sherwood was of the opinion that he was ready after the Millwall loan and thought the subsequent loans a waste of time.
Does our academy have any keepers left now?
I'm surprised at Lo-Tutala.
