Too soon I think. Surely let him stay at mk dons if they get promoted so he gets some championship experience?

i think his goals have only started coming in the last few games. Before that he was getting a few assists and some near misses.
The fans love him from what I’ve seen. When he wasn’t scoring his effort was still appreciated and he was winnning MOTM awards too. It’s only now that he’s hitting his stride that I think they recognise just how special he is.

The mk Dons fans do seem to like him, even when he wasn't scoring they praised his work rate and passing.
They seem to think he should get U21 player if the season.

Will be 20.5 when next season starts. Really interesting what we decide to do with him. If in CL we will need numbers. I think he’s that perfect young player to have about and you do have to consider the benefits of training with Kane everyday. But I can also see the merits of a good championship loan.

He needs to play regularly, if that won't be with us then another loan seems the most sensible choice.

I've just noticed that MK Dons v Wednesday is late game on Sky next Saturday.

Great that he's had so many appearances whilst on loan and for one of the best teams in that league as well
The concern is the goal tally being a bit low.
It's difficult to judge these things, especially seeing how young players develop at different speeds.
But if we're being honest, he's probably not going to have a particularly big impact in the PL or European competition next season, if he's only got 7 league goals in 37 appearances in the third tier of English football.

Shouldn't be IMO. According to MK Dons fans, his overall play and performances have been quite good. Even when he hasn't scored, he's either assisted or been really heavily involved in each game. At 20 years old, what I'm looking at/for is commitment, desire to work hard and just an overall hunger to improve.
Fair point. I personally think he's ready to be in the 1st team squad full time starting next season. With the multiple competitions and the 5 sub rule going into effect next season, I can see him starting a decent amount of cup games and making it off the bench to come in for the likes of Kane, Son etc. It will be down to Conte to decide what happens but at the very least, I hope Troy is given an opportunity to impress during pre-season.

MK have been on fire the last few weeks would be good if he stayed on loan next season in the championship.

I mean league 1 to the PL is a big step. At 20 he's doing okay. He is certainly behind the developmental path he was initially earmarked for but it's good that he now looks to have a good springboard to build on.
Will he stay with us next season? Depends on how he does in preseason I suspect. His principle probable, however, is Scarlett is well ahead of him in the pecking order and how many young strikers can a club accommodate? Surely one of them will go out on loan.

I'm eternally optimistic that he'll impress Conte during pre-season and earn his spot in the team. Then again, there's really no rush in Troy's case. Another season at MK Dons ( hopefully once they've been promoted) would also be a great step in his development. My dream scenario in that instance would be Parrott and Etete on loan at MK Dons for a season, just for the obvious Crouch and Keano comparisons.

I think he's better off getting regular football somewhere in the championship next season. Obviously MKDs makes sense but we also don't want him to be in a side that gets battered constantly so there's a judgement to make there
As an aside I've still seen nothing from Scarlett in senior appearances to justify him being ahead of Parrott who is doing it at a real club. But I admit I haven't watched any of the youth games

Except players are 30 as soon as they turn 27 on here.

Well we haven't seen anything from Parrott either, but when you have a player who both Mourinho and Conte have singled out for praise, and the level of praise it's quite clear where the pecking order lies.

Conte will hopefully take a good look at him in preseason. Sounds like he has been working his socks off. Certainly a trait that Conte greatly values!
