A.C. MILAN COMUNICATO UFFICIALE
18/11/2008
MILANO - In merito ad alcune notizie apparse sulla stampa estera, il Milan smentisce nella maniera più categorica di aver mai offerto il calciatore Andriy Shevchenko al Real Madrid e ne conferma l'assoluta incedibilità.

[AC MILAN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
In relation to various notices appearing in the foreign press, Milan denies in the most categorical manner that it ever offered the footballer Andriy Shevchenko to Real Madrid and confirms that the player is unsellable.]

Sounds like there were a lot of Sheva-to-Madrid rumors rolling around somewhere.

Heck, I wouldn't've minded, seeing that we brought him back to be just about permanently glued to the bench. I think there's still a bit of a grudge between Carlo and Shev, dating back to their little public tiffs a few seasons ago.

Galliani: Shevchenko Is Untouchable
Milan vice president Adriano Galliani has quashed rumors suggesting thatUkrainian striker Andrei Shevchenko will join Real Madrid...

Madrid-based daily Marca claimed that Andrei Shevchenko, who rejoined Milan from Chelsea in the summer, was close to making the switch to the Primera Division as cover for the crocked Ruud Van Nistelrooy.

However, Galliani has slammed his fist on the table and he insists there is no chance his star striker will leave in January.

"Technically the operation wouldn't be impossible as you can have two transfers in one season," the chief told Datasport.it.

"However, Shevchenko will not be leaving. He is untouchable and now he will be playing for us."

The chief also spoke about this weekend's showdown clash between bitter rivals Inter and Juventus.

"It will be an uncertain game. The ideal result for us would be a no contest where neither team picked up points."

Milan are currently a point behind Inter and two ahead of the Bianconeri. A draw between the rivals would be the ideal result for the Rossoneri

Sheva and Kaladze to testify?
Wednesday 19 November, 2008
Ukrainian newspapers claim that Milan stars Andriy Shevchenko and Kakha Kaladze will be questioned during investigations into the President's poisoning.

President Viktor Yushchenko claimed he was poisoned at a dinner in September 2004 and prosecutors are seeking information on businessman Tamaz Tsintsabidze, who was present at that event.

According to newspaper Kommersant, the Prosecutor's Office is seeking testimony from former Dynamo Kiev players who may have had some connection with Tsintsabidze.

Shevchenko and Kaladze are said to be lined up for an interview, while Andrey Gusin has already given his testimony.

“It is all stupid, to my mind, but I can't do anything about it,” said Gusin in Kommersant.

“They asked me to come and I did. Evidently there's no logic in the move. The Prosecutor's Office seems to have gone off the rails.”

...Strange!!
Am I missing something though?
What the hell is this really about? Could someone explain plz.

What's the source of the news btw, Miz?
