He played well against the lesser sides, which was the task he was given.

I don't see Scarlett at this stage doing it at PL/European level. Think he needs a loan where he'll play.
He’s 17. He should be playing in PL2 with his age cohort.
DespiteTim Vickrey's (who is a Spurs fan by the way) luke warm appraisal. I'm choosing to focus on the positives the lad is playing first team football at 22 and Barcelona scouted then signed him. He has the physical attributes to do the job and Nuno is primarily a coach. My god he got Wolves 7th with Doherty as a starting fullback. So with coaching who knows we may finally have an heir to Walker.
He's better than his peers and should be on loan at a League 1 club or equivalent.
Barcelona have signed plenty of young South American flops btw.
He’s a child.
I wouldn’t loan out anyone under 18. Just from a personal human being perspective, leaving football aside.
He’s obviously good enough to be in first team training with us, and a runout with the first team every now and then to get a taste of it is a good thing for a young player. But getting sent to sink or swim among men in Wycombe or whatever is not the right environment for a 17 year old.
Give him as much as he shows he can handle at his home club. And on the evidence of the Pacos away leg, starting against real opposition in senior football is not a step he’s ready for yet. Give it 18 months and he’ll be there.
He's a professional footballer who needs higher quality experience which he won't get at PL2 level.
Plenty younger than him have made an impact at the top level, he won't play here and a year at PL2 is a waste of time.

I'm not judging him until he plays any football for Tottenham, but to try and say he's a great signing just because he was at Barcelona is ridiculous.
He's not Aurier, so I'm already happier.
I'm one for giving people a chance before i pass judgement. I couldn't care where he come from.
Negativity is easy mate and it takes very little creativity. Ignore it and like most Spurs fans hope for the best for your side.
Not sure anyone's giving him a hard time Joe, people (myself included) read the piece by Tim Vickery and are wondering what are the positives? Any player that signs will get my full support until he shits on the shirt.
Idiots claiming he's the next big thing before he's even played a match

This is such BS, especially when the majority of what people call negativity is just reality.
The easiest thing in the world is blind optimism it requires no thought at all, no reasoning or critical thinking, just looking at your team and proclaiming everything is super awesome. Nothing easier than that.
As long as E.merson doesn't have the same habits as P.merson he'll be fine.
