Might Seem Negative But It Isn’t – Club Boss Issues Message To Star On Loan From Tottenham Hotspur

 

The Spurs forward joined Portsmouth on loan in the summer and managed to feature heavily over the course of the first half of the season.

 

However, after the arrival of Mousinho, Scarlett’s appearances started to become limited with the Tottenham talent getting chances mostly off the bench.

 

 

He even failed to make it to the pitch in the final four matches of the season before calling time on his stay at Portsmouth.

 

However, Mousinho believes that learning the trade of League One at a club like Portsmouth and managing 40 appearances overall for Pompey is big in itself for a young player like Scarlett.

 

 

“Dane is a fantastic talent and his time at Pompey might seem negative to him, but I don’t think it is”, Mousinho told The News.

 

“It’s just part of the learning curve, part of the fact that your first loan to a Football League club can be tough, there’s a lot to take into account.

 

 

“If you come away from a loan spell like Dane did, having played 39 games, scored six goals, had experience at League One level, having had success, having had adversity, I think that’s really, really positive.

 

“Sometimes players go on loan and don’t have much playing time at all, there’s no exposure, they don’t face any of the highs and lows of football because they’re not involved that much.

 

“He’s had that involvement and I’m 100 per cent sure that, when he looks back on his career, this loan has played a huge role in the formation of him as a football player.”

 

Scarlett still has a contract with Tottenham that runs until the summer of 2026 and it remains to be seen if he will again be shipped out on loan this summer.
