It's a really promising sign when Mick McCarthy can spot the glaring flaw in your youth development process but your manager can't.Interesting that McCarthy comments on the fact that Parrott is in that no mans land of travelling and training with the first team (but no first team appearances) and because of that no u23 playing time.
His last game was an u19 game v Read Star Belgrade at home on October 22nd.
Not good for his development.
Playing time is what he needs so starting v New Zealand for Ireland will be good. Just need him to play after that for Spurs (and Ireland)

fucking moaner.
he’s starting for us (Ireland) in Dublin tonight. It’ll be interesting to see how he gets on
You might be right, but you're a fucking idiot if you think we're doing a good job of developing youth over the last few years.
I'm not saying there's no youth there, just that McCarthy's point about there being a no man's land of barely playing isn't giving them their best chance. Roles might push on because he's got a loan, but Skipp and Tanganga aren't getting as much out of the current situation as they would a decent loan.hold on winks, skip, parrot. tangaga, roles and etc. are all youth products correct which are all trying to get in the first 18 of the squad true so how is it our academy not producing youth.
Pochettino, the killer of youthIt's a really promising sign when Mick McCarthy can spot the glaring flaw in your youth development process but your manager can't.

That was in The Guardian's "Rumour Mill" today.Dortmund and Bayern are speculated to plot a transfer regarding Parrott...
