Scarlett needs to make the same deal that Harry did with the football gods. Go to Old Trafford, clear the ball to Row Z and spit on yourself and they'll help you become a world class striker.

They’ve signed Sarmiento from Brighton to replace him

Picked up a knock in training according to Ange so misses Utd.
@Archibald&Crooks or @Rob Any chance of moving this back into Spurs Chat as he can't go out on loan again this season

Well, at least we have Timo now. Feel more sorry for Dane though considering it was an ideal opportunity to get some minutes, as you say. Sometimes careers are made or lost on these opportunities.

Not at Leicester and Norwich . Played midfield for Millwall , young player of the year, not top scorer.
He looked nothing like a prem lge striker at 19, sheer hard work to go with his undoubted talent Got him there.

Spare a thought for Scarlett now that Ipswich and Portsmouth have secured promotion. I’m sure he felt hard done by during and after both loans, but the managers were evidently right not to pick him. Securing loans at a promotion winning team must be the dream for a young attacking player especially, so it’s pretty disappointing that he didn’t play any part in either success.
What’s worse is that he’s come back to Spurs and has seen the next up and comer who’s 4 years younger overtake him in the pecking order, and now it seems that we’ll spend big money on another striker this summer. He must be feeling that he’s missed his chance.

football is a ruthless sport. its up to him to kick through doors and earn his spot in a team

Yeah it's a brutal business. I'm fairly confident though that even if he doesn't make it at Spurs he will have a decent career.

Not necessarily always the case though - arguably our greatest-ever player didn't really kick through doors, circumstances (ie Soldado/Adebayor) weren't pulling up trees and he was in the right place at the right time to take his chance. Scarlett's never really had that chance. Youth development is a fragile thing, and it's not necessarily the fault of the player if it doesn't work out: the wrong move or an unlucky injury and you can go from being the next big thing to being basically done at the top level. See Ryan Sessegnon for how unfair it can be.

but he took his opportunity when he had it, thats what im trying to say. whether here or on loan you have to take the opportunity, Scarlett currently isn't.

He should look at Parrott, his success this year and 12 goal involvements in the dutch league

I think that's a great shout by him and his family, you can learn so much about different footballing styles but also culture etc, I wish more young players would do it.
