Dane Scarlett

[Gutter Boy]

I genuinely don't recall there ever being a clamouring for Scarlett to be used - if anything there was a skepticism over Mourinhos use of him in that he has a reputation of fielding very young players at clubs a couple of times in order to protect himself from accusations of not using youth enough.

There was a little bit. But they he played against Mura and looked like a 12 year old in an adults game

Remember when so many were desperate for Mourinho to play Scarlett regularly. And to this day he can’t get a regular game for Oxford. Shows us that supporters don’t always know as much as we think we do.

I must admit i have never been on the Scarlett hype train, like most young players they tend to get overhyped by most fans when they first get seen. Now that is not to say he will not become a very good player but i would be surprised if it is here.

I remember him coming back in a pre-season and looking way more physical. Probably after being that 16/17 year old we saw early days.

I saw him a few times at Portsmouth and he was constantly muscled off the ball.

Seemed happy spinning off the last man but got frustrated very quickly when the perfect ball wasn't played to him.

That Hoddle-like sixth sense and uncanny ability to make the most of a bad ball is a rare thing indeed, it seems. Maybe they're all spoilt nowadays by billiard-table pitches and the quest for more and more perfect conditions. Just a passing thought...
