Well in favour of this. Parker would be a great coach for him and would really help him to develop in that role, especially as it's one Parker himself excelled in.

Parrott just needs to go somewhere where he will have the opportunity to focus on building up confidence and get the feeling of scoring a lot of goals. Keeping him in London (close) could be a good thing too as he could train with us once or twice a week to keep an eye on him.

Would have liked Skipp to stay and learn from Hojbjerg but if he goes to Fulham that would be a great move.

Thats a good move for him.

Norwich play good controlled football so being their pivot is as close you are going to get to replicating the style of a top team which like possession which sooner or later I suspect we will try and become.

What a fantastic move, going to be playing a lot of games in a team that play a great style of football. Looking forward to catching some games of his.

Good club for him, they play some nice football and he should get games there. If it acts as a sweetener for Aarons that can only help too.

Bit disappointed with this to be honest. With the Europa campaign and the amount of games we have to play between now and christmas would have thought been plenty of game time for him.

midfield wise I think we aren’t that short that him going on loan would affect us .... it’s more important for him to get a good run of games under his belt to truly see his potential rather than a cup game here or there .

Great move for him, nobody has ever been able to persuade me youngsters shouldn’t be out on loan. If Poch were still here the poor boy would still be cleaning out the shitters!

Hugely important for his development that he goes on loan and gets playing time under his belt. You can’t underestimate learning to play week in, week out and getting a run of games.

It obviously begs the question as to why now? He played a bit part with us for two years and not really had a chance to develop. But I guess what’s done is done, and a loan will give him this chance.

It's going to be an interesting Loanwatch thread this season.
It's certainly been thin pickings in there for a while, with Clarke and Roles the only ones really worth keeping an eye on and even then, Clarke's hardly had any game time and Roles doesn't really feel like he'll have a future here, I've just enjoyed watching him do well.

Hope there is a lot more to come, Jack Roles is underrated at Spurs and would like to see him have a short loan in the championship and if he does well bring him back for the first team.

Brooklyn Lyons-Foster is a player I think could do with a loan.

What I would like to see happen is our best players go out on loan unless the player needs more time, we lost Binks because he did not want to play u23 football and that tells you all you need to know.

I like Skipp, looked ambipedal in little I've seen and he doesn't hide. He will do well there. Wouldn't mind one of Lewis, Aarons, Cantwell, Buendia in return.

He asked for it, as a condition of signing. We've held onto too many players that we might need in a pinch. This is great for him, and an example of Jose prioritising player development. He should hopefully return ready to claim serious first team minutes.
