Against Portugal home and hat trick in Budapest.5 goals in 2 internationals. Wow
Moyes should lock Beto and Barry in a room with wall to wall screens showing these on a loop and make them watch how to finish.

His stats are ok but he's been playing in Holland. Also he takes penalties so not all his goals are from open play. It would be a risk.He certainly appeared to be the last few days. But you just know if we were to sign him the goals would dry up, or a season ending injury will hit in training before he gets to put a shirt on after signing a 5 year deal for huge wages and a massive transfer fee.
Known for his pace on the wings as well.We should be going all out for Troy Parrot
He’s an out and out natural goal scorer
Is Parrott’s all-round game decent or do people just emotionally want him after what he’s done for Ireland? His record in England isn’t great and the Dutch league just isn’t a serious place - some random team won 8-2 the other week ffs!
Yes. That’s the way to do it.For goodness sake no more parrot jokes!
Anyway troy looks like quite the trojan
That alone might be a huge improvement from what we have at the moment. Maybe a swap for Beto could work, Beto would play regular and we can give Parrot a run of games. If he gets off to a good start and scores a few he`d be a huge improvement and would give Barry time to step up over the rest of the season.I am a fan but I think he is a bit off being a Premier League striker.
He has great around the box and has good movement a bit like a Shane Long type.
I'd have him over Beto
I’d worry about signing a lad based on international appearances but his record in the Netherlands seems pretty decent , near enough 1:2He certainly appeared to be the last few days. But you just know if we were to sign him the goals would dry up, or a season ending injury will hit in training before he gets to put a shirt on after signing a 5 year deal for huge wages and a massive transfer fee.
A sure thing in the PL is hard to come by, Even the lovable Reds signed a sure thing for over 100 Million and he hasnt scored for them yet. Taking a 25 million punt on parrott would be worth doing.Not sure on Troy myself, we have a project already with Barry and a striker whose done well in another league but hit and miss in this one.
For me a Toney or that profile makes much more sense for where we are and what we need.
Sure he’d be worth a look if we were in different circumstances up front, but we need as close to a sure thing in the PL as we can find up front.
Not dissing Troy but he’s just not the profile we need right now.
