Chelsea need Frank exchange (選錄)
Norman Hubbard
Fair play, increasingly, appears a rather quaint notion.
For Chelsea, fresh from a record fine in the rather rancorous Ashley Cole
affair, they have already antagonised another of their capital neighbours.
At this rate, Charlton Athletic should be keeping a close watch on their
groundsman; Fulham might want to screen the phone calls of the man with
the hotdog van at Craven Cottage.
It appears remarkably tactless, even by Chelsea's standards. They are likely to
get better acquainted with the Premier League (perhaps their spokesman could be
gainfully employed at Stamford Bridge?). A three-point handicap - if that is
the eventual result - might make the Premiership more competitive next season.
The most likely outcome is that Arnesen, along with his invaluable contacts
book, will end up in west London.
It would leave Tottenham in a state of seemingly permanent transition.
After Jacques Santini's bemusing reign came to an abrupt end, Spurs appeared
to have a long-term management team in Arnesen and Martin Jol. Instead the
Dane, a fixture at PSV for a decade, is going; there are already hints that
Jol is willing to abandon the continental coaching structure and become an
old-fashioned English manager.
For Chelsea, the lure is Arnesen's reputation as an exceptional judge of a
footballer - Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Arjen Robben are proof of his
acumen - that he established in Holland.
But the team for 2010 is less likely to include the third-choice keeper Marton
Fulop or the creaking veteran Nourridine Naybet. Czech David Limbersky left as
unknown as he was when he arrived. He was perhaps the least distinguished of
Arnesen's 24 signings in 12 months, but there were times when he appeared in
too much of a hurry; was the scouting as rigorous as his reputation would
suggest?
It seemed, at times, a transfer market equivalent of speed-dating. Calum
Davenport was signed, loaned out twice and made a solitary first-team
appearance while Arnesen acquired two further central defenders.
But perhaps judgment should be withheld; he leaves a Spurs squad with plenty
of potential and a head coach who has made a promising start. For all the
residual bitterness of the sniping David Pleat, Tottenham have greater grounds
for optimism than at any stage in the last decade.
And Chelsea would provide Arnesen with a stage to suit the players he
specialised in exporting from the PSV production line. Bartering the price
down is likely to be an objective at Stamford Bridge; awkward as opponents
have found Didier Drogba, there is a widespread feeling that the £24 million
striker was vastly overpriced.
Few would mourn if Pini Zahavi - the Israeli indirectly responsible for the
horrible term 'superagent' entering the English language - earns less
commission. At some stage, however, Arnesen's responsibility for transfers
could impinge upon the jobs of either Jose Mourinho or Peter Kenyon.
Arnesen and Mourinho each received their managerial education under Bobby
Robson, but there is enough evidence to suggest they should complement one
another. The Portuguese's powers may be curtailed, but his primary achievement
at Chelsea was not in the transfer market.
Mourinho's best buys were the Portuguese pair of Paulo Ferreira and Ricardo
Carvalho. Their assurance was apparent in his Porto defence. Neither
represented a step into the unknown.
If Arnesen's frantic buying at Spurs mirrored Chelsea's spending spree
immediately after Roman Abramovich's takeover - in volume, if not the cost of
the acquisitions - a repeat is unlikely in the extreme. Chelsea are pursuing
three world-class players; in that respect, this summer is likely to be the
model for future years.
But not in others. So far, Chelsea's record sponsorship deal is being frittered
away in fines and legal costs. Further charges would surely harm their bank
balance as well as their reputation; their defence of the Premiership title
could also be affected.
For Kenyon, the appeal of Arnesen, proven capable of recruiting the calibre
of player who can win them the Champions League while aiding the club's stated
aim of breaking even within five years, is obvious.
But the allure of Ashley Cole was similarly clear; it is Chelsea's methods, not
their logic, that result in controversy.
