That was an assumption.

All against $heva: Seedorf (always against everybody (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) , Ancelotti, Altafini, Boban (no reheated soup (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ), Costacurta
All for $heva: Kaka?

Well, anybody that hasn't said anything is happy for him to be here, surely? Otherwise they'd have said something negative about him.

Well, yes and no. Dirty laundry at Milan is not usually aired in public. Even if current employees (to include Milan players and coaching staff) are unhappy about the loan of Shevchenko, I'm not too sure anyone will say anything out loud.

Ancelotti never said anything negative regarding Sheva, and never said he didn't want him back or anything like that.

As for legends not wanting Sheva back, sure they might speak out but what's important is the players that we have and so far everyone has greeted Sheva back, Kaka, Pirlo and Kaladze seem the happiest to have him back, especially from the clips I've seen on Milan channel so does Maldini who has spken about Sheva, and if Maldini can accept him back and the Curva can give him the welcome he had on Sunday, I don't see any problems


Exactly

He called him a traitor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) That's worse than saying he doesn't want him back. Which he doesn't. It's all Mr. B's idea. The coach is just playing along nice. I mean, everyone was of the opinion (Paolo, Kaka, Gattuso, etc) that what Sheva did was wrong, but no one went so far to call him a traitor.

That was more then a year ago, agreed that Carlo would never go against Silvio. But before Sheva came Carlo said nothing in the negative about Sheva, of course that would go back to the Silvio issue, but it is what it is. That is Carlo for you, it wouldn't have been Mourinho or Cappello who would stand for it and keep their mouths shut (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

As for Kaka, he never said anythin bad regarding Sheva, they've always been really great friends, the only times I can recall Kaka saying anything regarding Sheva is when a lot of rumours about him moving to Real came out and he alluded to the fact that he sees the whole Sheva ordeal as something that he looks at when thinking of moving to another club.

Other then that he's never mentioned anything.

That's actually what I meant. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Only past players would say something negative about Shave, they don't want to strain their relationship in the dressing room.

Wasn't that Carlo calling Sheva a traitor a joke after all?!

A bad one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) I mean, Carlo never liked Sheva much, but that's not what I'd expect from my former coach. Even the Real Madrid coach who kicked out Ronaldo said he was the most talented player he ever coached.

Well, Carlo ain't no class. calling Sheva a traitor, giving Juve fans the finger, etc. but he is professional. I'm sure he will get along with Sheva...

It's not that Carlo and Sheva never got along, I think they have/had a healthy working relationship, but there hapve been little arguments here and there, but let's not forget that these haven't happened with just Sheva, Seedorf and Kaka were seen argueing a bit with him not long ago near the touch line during a match, but it never gets out of hand.

I think it's more about Carlo and how the players' respect for him isn't what it used to be in the past.

just stating facts!

Sheva did score that one goal winner for Ukraine... I hear he was like a 70th minute substitute. He came on and had an immediate effect...
