Troy Parrott

Not necessarily with us, but I think he has the tools to become a Danny Ings, Jay Rodriguez or Calum Wilson level player. He's strong but also technical, which is rarer than it should be

He has the ability to be better than any of them. The only question is does he have the desire and will to put in the work like Kane did to make the most of that ability.

Yeah, he just turned 20 and obviously talented. Bit early to start setting a ceiling on his potential just because he hasn't exploded onto scene as a teenager.
 
The one thing you can't teach is desire
That's a really good sign.
Maybe in Scarlett and Parrot we have potential back up strikers.
Easy to forget Parrot only just turned 20.

Etete has been doing well this season aswell. Just come back from injury.

Think they all need more experience out on loan next season. Would prefer our back up next season to play more than just cf. Otherwise they won't get enough minutes to be effective when they come on.

Agreed, its a big step up from where they've been playing to suddenly standing in for Kane. We need a proper back-up and send these guys out on loan. Then work out what the future holds in summer 2023 - so many things can change before then

Agreed.
I don't know much about Etete, but Parrot or Scarlett could definitely be blooded in the other forward roles too. Two on loan, one in the first team squad.
 
I really thought Parrott was going to let his talent go to waste as he didn't seem to have the desire and was distracted by off-field things.
But the penny seems to have dropped and he is putting in the effort again.

For that reason I think Bale would be good for a year. It gives cover and allows Parrott and Scarlett to get another season under their belts out on loan.
In the summer of 2023 it can then be decided if the club thinks they will be good enough.
