Player Dane Scarlett

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

My best guess is that all of Solanke, Richy, Son and Werner would be preferred to Dane as a starting CF, maybe even Kulusevski, which is to say I think Ange will avoid starting him if at all possible. I think even minutes on the field are going to be extremely limited to nonexistent. The "heavily rotated squad" type cup games are over for the season.

But maybe I'm wrong, we shall see.
He’s had one good game against an average team, and it was a cameo off the bench after they’d tired. He’ll have to take whatever opportunities he gets off the bench first

Mate…
 
Just rewatched the highlights.
What a ball from Kula why can't we do that more.Great header from Dane.
Also for the second goal not only a good layoff but watch his run after, he is in position for a rebound if the GK pushes it out.
Well done Dane
 
Anyone who wants guaranteed game time written into his contract has a problem to be honest. Any manager who agrees to that has a problem as well.
I believe players can have a starting 11 clause with a minimum of minutes but honestly we were never going to get Tel anyways back on topic.

In his two cameos since returning from loan, I have been impressed with his growth.

He hasn’t looked outmatched yet like he did in his prior appearances. I think he’s looked better than Lankshear did in his limited minutes and just on these last two matches, he’s been better than Richy too.

He won’t start over Richy but I hope he keeps it up. It’s always a great feeling when an academy kid can make it here.

Harry Kane fully believes in this kid. Let's give him a real go.
 
He's a bit of an enigma.

He couldn't he get a game for Ipswich or Watford in the Championship.

But, Mourinho called him a 'diamond'.
Conte said 'for sure the best prospect from the academy.... I see a brilliant future for him'
Kane rated him too. And Ange seems to like him.

I think he could be a nice surprise for the end of our season. Good movement, looks a threat. He'll be 21 in March, so is at a similar age to Kane when he broke through.

First choice England u21.

I don't see it, but others certainly do
 
Hope he gets a proper opportunity in the PL. The Oxford loan was a weird one as he seemed to do well for them and scored a few when he actually got on the pitch but they wouldn't give him many starts, what was that all about, were they playing long ball with a TM? He's got an outstanding goalscoring record through all the England age groups and now the U21s.
 
Deserves the start over Tel next game. Nice assist today and just generally looks a lot more ready than he was before and added to his game. Give the lad a fair chance.
