In other words: Sheva is already a Milan player...

tail between his legs ?

And all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

how (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Well, hypothetically speaking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Are you kidding me? I wake up and this is the news I get? Sheva? Why should any Rossoneri forgive him? This is very personal to me. I already liked what he did in the past but his time is over. He's 32 years old. Now we'll really get the image that we want older players... a retirement home as some say. Sentimentalism can really mess us up... what if Sheva does not recover from his horrendous slump? What if he gets injured?

I'd much rather keep Paloschi instead of this guy. He betrayed Milan in the worst way possible and some are discussing what kind of formation they want... it's irritating.

What about our central defender? If Sheva takes up the non-EU spot... that'll be one less. I sure that both Uruguayos have EU status.

You guys remember Ramaccioni don't you ... The 60 yr old guy who was always on the bench with Milan as team manager and was promoted to a position in the Milan structure a couple of months ago ...


Ramaccioni: "We are close to completing the deal for Shevchenko's return"


(IMG:http://site.acmilanclub.com/newsimages/10002/Meersseman-Faisal.jpg)

The news about the return of Andry Shevchenko has been collecting some momentum, and after Carlo Ancelotti's remarks in a press conference, here is the confirmation from the Milan top management.


Where the former team manager, talk about his imminent return: "We are close to completing this deal for Shevchenko's return. I hope that what I have read is right., we are very close to closing this deal and we are hopeful of finishing up the minor details in a quick manner. We will be happy if Sheva came back to Milan, and I am ready to hug the Ukrainian champion once again, from my part he is coming back to his first home."

Like Tennie and Giancarlo i am against Sheva returning but i'm ready to forgive if he apologies and scores more than 20 goals.

This is going to turn into a nightmare... I've read polls taken amongst fans in Italy that they are mostly against him coming back. Sheva is in his 30s, not 20s anymore...

I usually defend Berlusconi every time and he's a hero to me, but please don't do this...

If we have to use our non-EU option please use it for Thiago Silva or something.

u r wrong only one of them had after sheva there wont be EU spot left

You need to provide proof for that.

That's all I ask. But most Uruguayos do qualify for EU status...

If you're right, the only defender I can see us getting is Stendardo. Forget this business about Kovac (as he doesn't have EU status either). We may do a trade of Brocchi for Stedardo as regards to the central defender position. But we will lose out on the possibility of getting Thiago Silva and that will upset me.

as long as we get the defender we DESPERATELY need whther it may be ivanovic, thiago silva or alex silva then getting a striker wont bother me too much although i would have preferred a center forward/inbox striker which sheva isnt. if he does indeed come back then he just be another player on the team and he wont have the same respect i once had for him, that said i still remember him fondly for all those goals and i wont forget that.

Here are links indicating that Viudez has indeed taken up one of the two non-eu spaces.

I think 3 sources are sufficient.

That's fine by me. I just asked for proof and you certainly proved it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

But it would be a huge mistake for us to use the last spot on Shevchenko.

Does anyone know if two more spots open for the winter transfer season?

^ i'm pretty sure it's 2 non-eu per year and not per transfer market.

well if this is true then galliani and company truly are idiots for not getting a defender.
