So much was expected of him.......what a fall and still only 29 www.westlondonsport.com/non-league/former-qpr-and-tottenham-prodigy-joins-wealdstoneFormer QPR youngster Parrett joins Wealdstone By Dan Bennett 21/11/2020 Wealdstone announced the double signing of Dean Parrett and Jayden Randell prior to their entertaining 3-3 draw with Sutton United on Saturday evening. Parrett (pictured) began his career at QPR before moving to Tottenham as a teenager. Now 29, he has made over 200 appearances in the EFL and most recently played for Stevenage in League Two having also had spells at AFC Wimbledon and Gillingham. Midfielder Parrett appeared as a late substitute against Sutton as the Stones came back from 2-0 down to take a 3-2 lead thanks to a double from Ross Lafayatte and a strike from Jacob Mendy before conceding a late equaliser. Randell spent two seasons at Heybridge Swifts and provides boss Dean Brennan with more depth in defence. The Stones will look to get back to winning ways with a trip to Notts County on Friday.

I was a bit surprised when he left us and expected him to go on to bigger and better things, one obe hand i didnt like us losing a promising youngster on the other we wouldn't have got £2 million when we desperately needed it either.

Shows the grass is not always greener. He probably got a bit more cash when he left us but then went downhill with no real chance at Spuds. Usual sort of no losss gamble for a big club - take a promising lad for peanuts and if he works out great - if not loan him out and then dump him. I bet if he had stayed with us he would've got opportunities and would have developed more than he did at Spuds as a result. He would not have turned out to be a world beater but I think he would have turned into a decent regular Championship level player. What a waste and he must be looking back thinking "I should have stayed where I was" Yeah, he does feel like a situation of clubs like Spurs' approach of "rack em and stack em". If you're a young lad and a club like that comes calling I can understand you want to back yourself, but the odds are so out of your favour even if you get signed. It's still peanuts to a club like Spurs and they'd rather suck up players on the basis that no one else has them just in case they turn out to be good. Grass is rarely greener which is why making your mark at this level is so crucial. Minor plus side for us is at least we are now looking at those kinda players on the cheap. Decent young players who get sucked into the bloated setups of bigger clubs. Hopefully Thomas will prove fruitful in that respect.

A waste of a gift from God. He made the choices. He should have stayed here till he was 20 with some seasons under his belt and proved himself.
