Player Djed Spence

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Feel a bit sorry for Spence. Showed loads of promise at Forest but it quickly became apparent Conte didn’t fancy him.

Had very little to show if some of the comments being posted are true.

Lot of Leeds fans a pissed. This guy goes on a rant in this thread. Seems they might want to get loan players in different positions.

Watched the other week, his last game. Thought he played well (technically) and him being replaced was harsh (on about the hour). My gut tells me he hissy fitted about it, as Leeds used Dan James as a wing back, changing to a three.

Noticed he then got dropped, after being LB a few games and against the baggies was RB.

Delusion of grandeur reaction, I strongly suspect, shown in front of the group.

Shame if so, but makes no sense otherwise to go from first 11 several games, to being sent away (Farke put up with Edwards surly behaviour and lateness let’s not forget).

Your gut tells you that and you suspect that because?

You’ve met the kid or something?

Tried to explain, he appeared to be playing fairly well and had worked his way in. Just strange to suddenly get sent back. Suggests to me he hissy fitted over being subbed enough to get his loan terminated.

Could be wide of the mark, but usually you’d get an explanation if it was “we are maxed on loans so unfortunately had to cancel Djed’s to free a loan space” or such.

Could be a number of reasons.
 
If you failed to impress at a Championship club, what does that tell you?

It should tell him that he isn’t good enough and that he is at a crossroads in his career. He either decides to work his arse off and eat, live, breathe football to try and fulfil his potential, or carry on as he’s doing and watch his career go down the fucking toilet.

He hasn’t got to look far around Spurs to see an example of it. Ndombele is one of the most naturally gifted footballers around, yet because he has a horrendous attitude and work rate and penchant for BigMac’s, he’s currently in Turkey.

Always staggers me seeing players throw away the opportunities they’re given. Such a waste of talent. Hopefully Djed can be an exception to the rule.

Scarlett failed to impress at Ipswich.
Maybe this is his last wake up call?
If it's true he threw a wobbly because he got subbed he has got no chance at THFC but we will know within hours what Ange thinks about him.
He has a £25k pw contract until 2027.

Scarlett is 19 though.

Good point about later, as if he were to play he can’t then be loaned out again this season. Yet, given our injuries, being on the bench is no real indicator.

Shame if it is attitude, just suspect he maybe questioned Farke in a way that got him binned, as being upset at being subbed is one thing, but challenging a manager in front of the group is hugely different.

Hopefully its a watershed moment for him, whatever the cause.

I think that's a pretty fair assessment, although he is still only 19 and I can't say I've watched him recently.

Kane wasn't a particularly good player when he was Scarlett's age but everyone around him spoke so highly of his work rate, effort levels and commitment to being the best player he could possibly be. Whilst hard work won't bring everyone to that level, the stories you hear around certain players suggests that whilst they have talent, they don't have the attitude. It's a massive shame because you'd like to think that if were you or I in their position, we'd work our absolute tits off to make the most of the opportunity.
