We aren’t going to produce another striker as good as Kane. He’s a one off. But I’m sure we could try and make Scarlett as good a player as we can. Him training every day with Harry must be a huge bonus.

Kane has talked about his time on the training pitch with Defoe and after rewatching some of JD’s finishing, you can see how Kane hits the ball like him in certain scenarios (eg. Taking shots early).

Whatever Scarlett’s baseline ability is, working day in day out with Kane has to be a huge leg up.

I'm happy with us using the academy to breed sellable players. Chelsea have sold players not good enough for them for good money.
We don't need to out these players in our starting 11, we just need to get them enough exposure that we can sell for £20m or so each.
Imagine selling a few kids for circa £50m in 2 years? Id take that if spent it sensibly
 
Scarlett impresses Kane

Tottenham fans desperately want to see more of talented youngster Dane Scarlett in action over the coming months. A regular in the first-team squad in the Premier League this season, the 18-year-old only has one appearance to his name in the league in 2021/22 after coming off the bench against Leeds United.

Spurs do have a very special player on their hands, with Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte both waxing lyrical about the frontman having worked with him. Scarlett certainly knows where the back of net is, demonstrating that in Thursday's training session at Hotspur Way ahead of the Leicester City game.

Involved in a finishing drill with his hero Harry Kane, the young striker netted time and time again from various positions in the session put on by Ryan Mason. Having to turn quickly from a central position to score, Scarlett would then have a ball fed across from the left and then one from the right that he would have to finish off.

In Spurs' latest training video published on their YouTube account on Friday morning, Scarlett nets all three of his attempts in quick succession and it led to a round of applause from Kane (which can be seen at the 2:36 minute mark). The England captain looked very impressed by what he had witnessed from his teammate.

Having watched that video, my god Gollini is shite.
 
He definitely needs to be going out on loan for regular minutes, he’ll learn and improve so much more that way I think. It’s great being in and around the first team squad, but that’s no substitute for proper playing time in my opinion.
 
I think a season long loan is best for him now...
Preferably with a decent Championship side (or one of the relegated PL clubs) and maybe one in the South so we can keep regular tabs...

Do you think we pissed Norwich off too much at the weekend to ask them??

Didn't do Skipp any harm!

If not, Watford maybe...?
Think League one more likely, few southern teams in there to try and get a loan with.
 
Could do worse than loan him to a National League side such as Wealdstone.

George Wickens (20 year old Fulham keeper), thrived there last season.

:wansum:
I'm surprised no one else did it...
 
Apparently got the assist for the first goal, I only started watching after HT. Early in the 2nd half his shot from the right beat the keeper but came back off the post, the defender covering the line then made a superb save from the follow up.

Picked up a yellow, ridiculously imo. Chasing a through ball, a defender blocked him, unsuccessfully as DS is clearly a strong player, but then went down as if shot. Ref blew for a foul (!!!) and carded DS.
 
Agree- perfect loan for Scarlett. It makes sense for him to prove himself at least half a season in League 1 before moving on, and to be honest, I think a full season here is a great level for him. Pompey have a good fan base and a fair amount of media exposure, so it should be that much better a loan for him.

I haven't really watched Pompey since around the time Redknapp tried to unsuccessfully save them (?) from relegation and downward spiral. I would assume they try to play some attacking ball. Anyone know what their current style and manager are like?
Obviously should be taken with a grain of salt, but I saw a fan on twitter say something to the effect of ~Pompey did alright last season but were really missing a focal point up top. They've done a lot of good business this summer but Scarlett was the last piece of the puzzle to fill the void up top.~ Hopefully it's true and he will be their main man!
 
Yup, here's a pic
