Kostas 1,468 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 All those rumors to Real Madrid and Man City were no doubt created by Arnesen himself to make those teams aware he was available. Nobody but Hamburg, a midtable German team, wanted him which says it all.Interesting theory but you can't overlook the fact that he would never gotten the control he'll have at Hamburn with either Real Madrid or City.

Anyways we'll see how many of 'his' players become useful to the Chelsea senior squad, I doubt it will be more than 1 or 2. And let's keep in mind that McEachran, by far and away the best young player at the club, was already here before Arnesen arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 To his credit, besides international and regional scouting he's been also responsible for the reforming of our academy. You can't take away from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to be expected considering he was starting from scratch and working for a club with unlimited resources.With the amount of money he has spent and his various promotions he should have something more tangible to show than 'reforming an academy' that pretty much never existed before he came!

Let`s name a few: Robben, Ronaldo, Stam , Van Nistelroy. Its way to soon to judge him and the academy, in facti`m sure the future will prove you`re wrong.

He was probably as famous as Neymar is now when he signed for PSV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouting the next Brazilian wonderkid after he took part in the World Cup isn't impressive. Getting him to sign is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
