Haha true. I would class the white Ronaldo up there at the moment and think he could become the new iconic footballer of this generation, taking over from Zidane/#9 Ronaldo. I think the fact he plays and has made his trade in England people dislike him globally, actually I have not a doubt in my mind about that. Yes he is a little arrogant but so are many, if he went to Madrid from Sporting far more people would like him.
The problem with that analogy is many people know of Beckham doesn't mean he's any good though, although I do get what you are saying about the World Cup's.

To get back to possible transfer targets for Milan, I'm now watching a replay of the England-Czech Republic game (what a lovely goal, Janku! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/96.gif) ). Possible Milan target Kovac is the #5 in the game and played just in front of the defense, though the commentators noted his natural position is in defense. He played the full 90 and...well, he was half decent. Is he Nesta v2? No. But he might do if needed.

Saw Kovac play. He did what he was supposed to do. More than can be said for the English NT. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) But don't think of him as a viable option to threaten Kaladze or even Bonera. Sheva? Let him come. Paolo once said, he's welcome back. I can't question that. One must allow Berlusconi his idiosyncracies. Besides it makes logical sense. Carletto came out twice and said, Pato should not be considered our lead striker. He said, he's a kid with prodigious talent, who can really develop. But should not be overused. If Sheva doesn't come, that's exactly what's gonna happen. Besides Carletto finds Pato in the same mould as Sheva, and Pato's training will go up in leaps and bounds. Currently he has no one similar to him to learn from. While Marco and Palo have Pippo. The Uruguys have a host of mid-fielders to learn from. Darmian has Nesta. And Abbiati has Fiori ((IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ). He will be useful, but it doesn't take away the need for a CB though. Like han, I love the idea of the old Sheva. But I'm expecting too much for it to be that way. However, wimpy and gay as it might sound, I just know that if he does come, wears the jersey again, damn..I won't even need him to score, just to see him back standing along with Paolo and Ambro and Sandro...I'm gonna go like Renee Zellwegger in Jerry Maguire...

He should be forgiven?!!
What the hell?! This guy is a Milan legend and some are contemplating forgiveness! Just because he didn't stay with us all his career doesn't mean he's evil. He left Kiev there fans don't hate him.
Whatever way he left it was hardly a farce. He left us for a healthy fee at the time, I don't see what was wrong god help us if some of you know what some players do. I remember Kewell at Leeds, probably worth about £20-25mil at the time, he left Leeds for £5mil and made the club pay £3m to his agent because they were going down, that's screwing a club over...
This isn't about whether I think he will be the same player, I'm 99% sure he won't be anywhere near but I mean all this traitor rubbish is ludicrous. Just my thoughts...

I don't see how Sheva is a traitor personally. He left the club, so what? Alot of people say it's because he said he wanted to stay at Milan and become a legend. Does that mean he's not allowed to change his mind and say he wants to leave? QUOTE It is useless hiding things — I was with the president, we talked of many things and also about the possibility that I could leave. There hasn't been a definitive decision. I want to be clear, we are only talking. This has nothing to do with my relationship with Milan, there has always been a great deal of affection, as with my team mates and coaches. The decision that I am considering regards above all my family... This quote from Sheva sums it up really. People think he just 'got up and left'.. even here he says there isn't a definitive decision, so he obviously took alot of time to think his answer through. This quote is from May 12th.. he left on May 28th.. that's over 2 weeks people!So he'd obviously thought about leaving for a while.. is it Sheva's fault if Silvio decided not to release these details? Ha! Some guys make it sound like he said "I want to stay forever.. now I want to leave" in one sentence. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) EDIT: I'm not trying to say my opinion is right or anything, everyone has their own opinion. I just hope people don't start forgiving him if he scores plenty of goals for us.

QUOTE (CrazyMilanFan @ Aug 21 2008, 01:09 AM)  76 it will be 76 according to gazzeta article Who? Sheva? OK, han's right. this is getting ridiculous! what are these weird numbers? Ronaldo's 99 was nice. even the Little Ronaldo's 80 was OK (for me). but Flattuso's 84 and now Sheva's 76... (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) QUOTE (han2503 @ Aug 21 2008, 01:23 AM)  He should get #11 Isn't #11 occupied? QUOTE (Kaka Is Brilliant @ Aug 21 2008, 01:27 AM)  I can't see Pato scoring that much this year at all. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Wanna bet that he will score more goals than Sheva?? (that is, of course, if Carlo doesn't act stupidly and bench Pato in favor of Sheva - which is, unfortunately, a big possibility (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) )

As much as I want to say I agree with you... I can't. Yes he was a legend. The keyword is he "was". How he left Milan created wounds in the fans and poured salt in them. It wasn't just that he left, but as Tennie said it was how he left. He did say "I'm not going anywhere and I want to be captain of Milan one day", yet, shortly later he signs a contract with Chelsea. He was NOT honest about it, and 2nd chances are difficult for me to give. I think everyone needs to understand he's not the Sheva we used to know. That old Sheva is gone. Some will try their best to cover up the nature of his leaving, but it's simple reality. He didn't leave for the schools. There are great schools in Italy (with an international private one in Milan that is an American private school). I think He left for the money.

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Aug 21 2008, 10:46 AM)  He said he left for family reasons, if you don't believe that then don't. People automatically assume players go to Chelsea for money, even when it's a ridiculous accusation. Look at Ashley Cole, he earned the name 'Cashley' because he joined Chelsea.. even though he took a pay cut to go there! Actions speak differently than words. I think it was all about money but I'm generally considered a pessimist with regards to people. It's not a ridiculous accusation at all considering Chelski is a mercenary team. QUOTE (amancik) or maybe we could see them play side-by-side. Unlikely because Ancelotti would play 4-3-2-1. I think Pato should always start, and Sheva if he does come back should stay on the bench. But still I'd be in favor of Sheva going to some lower ranked team because he's not worth it to come to Milan. I'm not forgiving him!
