What a surprise Tottenham took the money. The full details aren’t yet in the public domain; however it seems to be a sum between £8-10m. There could be clauses banning Chelsea from buying any Tottenham players for a set period of time. On reflection Spurs should be super happy at the deal they managed to strike. Clearly Arnesen is not all he is cracked up to be.
He discovered Van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo did he? Well no, Van Horsey head was scoring goals for Heerenveen and was hardly an unknown and Ronaldo had gone to the 94 world cup to gain experience and was hardly a nobody.
However the proof of Arnesens ineptitude is best seen by his transfers at Spurs.
The British players he signed have all had promising reputations everyone new about Dawson, Huddlestone, Reid etc and his forte was supposed to be his world wide footballing contacts,
Spurs have two players playing in the FIFA Youth World Cup which is where the best young players in the world are playing. Compare this to Arsenals four players in the competition and it tells you all you need to know. Clearly he has a trumped up reputation and Chelsea have fallen for it. Mugs. There is only one man in England who knows the cream of young footballers worldwide and his name is Arsene. So Chelsea have their man and Tottenham have their money,
How long will Arnesene have before people question his super star signings Spase Dilevski, Timmy Atouba anyone?
I think the Chelsea mugs have been well and truly mugged of, in fact the biggest mugging since they paid £24m for Didier Dogshit.
