'I wish he’d gone to Charlton': Troy Parrott staying at Spurs not good for Ireland, says Mick McCarthy
Mick McCarthy has said that a loan move, rather than a new contract at Spurs, would have been better for Troy Parrott’s chances of making the squad for Ireland’s Euro 2020 play-off away to Slovakia next month.
“I wish he’d gone to Charlton and played games on loan,” said the manager today. “It’s great for him financially, he’s got a new contract, but it’s not letting him play. I’m not bothered what length of contract he’s got, it’s about playing football, and he was deprived of that because of his age.
