I don't blame the club for offering Nando less. He was on very good money (probably where you expect around 10 PL goals). As useful as he was in the latter stages of the Champions League I think his time is now gone (for that kind of money).
I just want Poch to use Parrot if we want to mix it up upfront.
Agreed - Parrott is at a tricky point in his career now, ultimately it needs to involve him stepping up to a higher standard and playing regularly.
Given where we are/how we're playing, you'd figure it's time to throw caution to the wind and get him in the team, as a minimum he should be available to freshen up the frontline on occasion. Couple of big things working against this though - 1. Lucas and/or Son are more likely first picks to change up the frontline and 2. Kane isn't really leading the line for us (England game last night was a good example of how you can get Kane in better goalscoring areas). I see Parrott needing to start his career learning his craft as a striker. Not a wide forward, not a false 9 or anything but as a striker. We don't seem set up to facilitate this at the moment.
My conclusion is that ultimately we need a loan for Parrott and to replace/add to our versatile forward options (Lucas being the obvious change regretfully).
