I had forgotten about that ambling oaf. Ripping it up in the French reserve league?
He doesn't play much for them. He has played 7 out of 25 games in the reserve league scoring once. He does have 2 goals in the UEFA Youth League in 4 games (only 2 starts). They often play a 15 year old (Cherki) ahead of him in the UYL.

He did get a hat trick in the French equivalent of the FA Youth Cup though.

And here is how Parrot (this season) compares to Reo Griffiths last season.
U23s

Reo (17/1): P3 , G 0, A 0

U18s
Parrot: P 7, G 11, A 3 (1.57 goals per game ave)
Reo: P 20,G 27, A 4 (1.35 goals per game ave)


UEFA Youth League
Parrot: P 5, G 3, A 1
Reo: P 6, G 1, A 0

FA Youth Cup
Parrot: P 1, G 0, A 0
Reo: P 1, G 0, A 0

Total
Parrot: P 21, G 16, A 5
Reo: P 30, G 28, 4

for what it's worth i have parrott on played 9 scored 14 assisted 5 in the u18 pl, though i think that's because transfermarkt haven't included his most recent games against villa and chelsea. he also has a goal in one sub appearance in the u18 pl cup.

One question here: how many would like Parrott to be Kane's understudy next season instead of Spurs going out to buy an understudy (well, Son would be the direct understudy but Parrott would be groomed for the next 3 season until it's obvious whether he's ready or not) even if Spurs may "suffers" during the grooming period?

What has happened to Oakley-Boothe?

good question, for one reason or another he has just completely lost his way. technically and physically/athletically he has a good base to work from but he just seems to lack mentally. he never seems quite in tune with the game to me and is all too happy for it to pass him by, he needs to find some intensity from somewhere because all he's doing right now is drifting. i don't think he was helped by missing so much football as a 2nd year when poch took him up with the first team but he has to take some responsibility for his performances since then. the coaching staff don't seem to trust him as a cm(probably for the reasons mentioned above) and as a result keeps being shunted out to the wing but there's no way he's ever going to make it to a high level in that position so i don't know what the plan for him is exactly, i don't think he's too happy with the situation himself either so wouldn't be surprised if he ended up leaving.
