I'm no expert but I think he'll miss the game at the weekend but will play the one after that from the looks of it.

I agree.

I didn't know that he wasn't even on the bench until the game was over. I thought he was starting from the bench against Juventus.

then I saw him in casual clothes when celebrating...

Hopefully he will at least be on the bench against PSV. smile.gif

*Mods, please don't move this to the video forum for it's more than just a compilation topic. It's also a farewell topic to one of Milan's most inspirational and dedicated players of the past decade. Thanks*

A note to all Milan fans:

Hey all. I started working on this project long time ago and I would have never guessed it would become a farewell compilation. As I watch the video clips, I can't prevent myself from dropping a tear or two. Shevchenko is my idol. This is a man I have been watching closely for the past 8 years... What he has done for Milan can't be forgotten and disrespected. There is no replacement for him as some players just can't be replaced and they shouldn't be replaced. But as others have mentioned, there is more to one man's life than just a sport and we are ought to respect that.

Compilation info:

This is not an ordinary compilation. It's long and it's very high quality. It features Sheva's best goals from 1999 to 2004.

Title: Andriy Shevchenko- 7 extraordinary years

Duration: 23:49

cry.gif cry.gif
this is the least I can do for Milan's alltime 2nd goalscorer (that could have easily been the first sad.gif )

The Master Of the House
Sheva's family was a traditional military one, the typical family of ex-USSR where commitment to arms and vocational rehabilitation were the one and the same!!!Back then noone believed that an all-blonde baby boy that first saw the light of day on the 29th of September, 1976 would so dramatically change those entrenched ideas and rebel against them. Andriy was not like all the other kids though! He was brought up in Dvirkivshchyna, a small village in Ukraine 90km east of Kiev and at his first birthday he saw people dressed up in crisp, imposing uniforms inebriated by the vodka his father, an army officer had stood them with.

Something's Cooking
His mother was the first person to understand that something was out of the ordinary
with Andriy. In spite of her not liking the idea that her only son would join the military she had to obey her stern husband's desires. "Andriy was born to be an artist, I knew it from the start. However if I had said that to Mikola he would have killed me".

First Touch With The Ball
In the home-camp of the Shevchenko family the word "ball" was unknown.Not until he first went to school did Andriy discover his aptitude, since he had only been kicking pillows and small round lunch boxes he secretly used to take from his mother's kitchen.It was the summer of '84 when Andriy began his football rebellion.For the first time his father (who had been promoted to brigadier in the meantime) was going to be apsent from home for about two months in order to organise and look over an infant regiment of the regular soviet army in former East Germany.Without the boogieman over his head, eight year old Andriy seized the opportunity and did things that until then he didn't know about and was indoctrinated to avoid.He came out of the house to go to the earthen field of Dvirkivshchyna where
he knew that Nikolai Hrustov, neighbor carpenter's son, with whom he had lucid bidding not to have any contact was.During the following two months Nikolai and Andryi became inseparable friends and the football was their first inamorata.It was then that the headmaster of the football school of Dynamo Kyiv Alexandr Spakov casually discovered Andryi and asked to meet his parents.

My Son Is A Bum?
Mikola's return from East Germany put an end to this story.Already credited Commander in chief of the Soviet army for the excellent fashion in which he organised the regiment in a foreign country, father Shevchenko returned home proud and prepared to share his happiness for this achievment of his with his successor to the glorious army of the country.Instead what he came in view of did surely gave him the needle; Andriy had taken off the one-coloured pullover that bore the CCCP emblem and having put on the Dynamo Kyiv training shirt while kicking in the yard the only thing that made him mad with rage; a football.Mikola, though a strict serviceman was not the kind of father that would beat his child.Anryi's discipline was close confinement in free-time and forbiddance to leave home for a month.Not because he had persuaded his mother to buy him the ball but for expressing his objections to the soldiering life his father was so ambitiously prepareing for him.Mikola refused to meet Alexandr Spakov and opted to instead mail him a letter in which he brought into relief that his own was to become an exceptional serviceman
and not any bum with long hair that would play football, listen to Rolling Stones and smoke marijuana.

The Move To Kyiv
In late 1986, and while the Kyiv residents had shyly started to compromise on life in ,because of Chernobyl, polluted air of Kyiv, Shevchenko's family moved permanently
to the capital of (afterwards free) Ukraine.Andryi then saw the opportunity
occur before his eyes and showed his father that he was not satisfied with the choices he had made for his own life; "He was barely eating, was very melancholic and his grades at school had already started to lower.I always dreamed that he would become a great serviceman, I was never a friend of football but no father likes to see his child pine away and Andryi had for the past two years showed that more than anything he enjoyed playing football" Mikola recalls.Seeing his own son in broken spirit he finally decided to meet the headmaster of Dynamo Kyiv's football school and think out his suggestion."Avocation with football is going to make him stiffer and, essentially, much more disciplined physically and mentally" was the gammon and spinach Spakov told Andryi's father and he agreed approving of the great transfer to Dynamo's school.

Father Silvio
Already in his first year there Anryi became the leading figure.While eleven he led the Dynamo youngsters to win the school championship of the town and hereupon the whole Ukraine confederation one.In his twelve he was the first ever student of the school who traveled (as a companion) outside of Ukraine following Dynamo's men team into San Siro where he trained with the Milan youngsters for two days.He returned home bringing to his classmates presents they had never before seen in the communistic Kyiv, such as Coca-Colas, gums and video games.In his thirteen AC Milan proposed to him to move in Italy in order to join the Rossoneri academies, and in his fourteen there was a guard outside of his house so that he wouldn't go to train.How did that happen?The fourteen year old's fame, reminiscent of Oleg Blokhin
(current Ukraine coach), had already surpassed the Soviet Union's frontiers as besides AC Milan, Ajax and FC Barcelona were also interested in obtaining his signnature while in the meantime the immature young kid gradually transformed into a beautiful teenager that had quite an impact on young girls.So how would he be able to consentrate on studying?He barely got a pass in most courses
and that pissed Mikola off as he saw that Spakov welshed on his promise that he would persuade young Andryi to permanently study in order to ensure his place in the school and continue his career in Dynamo in which he had began to take part in some of the men's training sessions.In January 1990, soldier Nikolai Chehov was commanded by Mikola to guard his house and to brief the brigadier whenever Andryi attempted to leave in order to join the training.This limitation had a positive effect in the control of the moppet who listened to his father and began studying intensively.
That was the last time Mikola believed that his son could finally forget about football and become an army man of quality.Almost a year after, when Andryi had already turned fifteen, at the home of the Shevchenkos came a letter from AC Milan, the usual kind of, the clubs send to blandish the parents of talented youngsters they closely follow up; "You have to be proud of your gifted son.We watch him permanently and we sure hope that he'll be here with us soon".Mikola kept the letter
and for the first time in his life he smiled for what his son insisted he wanted to become.It wasn't the pretty words that made him do so but the signature of the man
that had, obviously, inspired and written them by himself since the odour of the expensive pen remained fadeless; Honoured, SILVIO BERLUSCONI.





In about five months (the 29th of September) Andryi Shevchenko will look himself in the mirror and he will be thirty.He will then have his first football wrinkles, unfortunately in a blue shirt cry.gif

Goodbye Sheva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cry.gif

Great Post dst - I didn't know any of those things about Sheva.He was my Hero and he still is!

Just a note about mysef:
I've been a footy fan + Milan fan for only a year and a half now and I've never watched Milan play cos of darned cable tv connections, but I've just bought a set top box and can watch most of the matches.

The Irony is that the player I wanted to watch the most in Milan colours was Sheva and to think I can't even watch him play for Milan once kills me inside.That's just my fate I suppose... cry.gif sad.gif

true... he is a legend in the making; despite not being an Italian or a Milanese ...

but, then, that's maybe the cause why he wont be a legend.. he can pack his bag to London .. a legend? nope... just another great player who once play for Milan

Thats what i hate about Chelsea, and most of the english teams. The players are either hated or loved. The fan base is half ***. Look at drogba, he was happy before he came to chelsea. Now he wants to leave, same with crespo and gallas. Milan have true fans; we dont ditch the team if there doing bad or have lost certain games. He will see this, and will regret it for the rest of his life.

In England mostly it's about a trend. Like this month it's the trend to idolise beckham , the next month it's owen and the following month is rooney. That's what I hate about english footbal it's so pretentios.

Rooney scored 16 goals this season and he is considered a god (because that is the trend right now to idolise rooney) Gila scored 17 goals and some people are already labelling him as a flop and a waste of money.

Mate, who idolises Beckham at the moment?! Nearly all people here want to see an inexperienced right winger (Aaron Lennon) take his place ahead of him in the World Cup, I think that says a lot.

Rooney is not considered a god because of this season! The fact that he is 19 and has produced what he has done so far in his career and the bags of potential he has got makes him a "god".

Posted by: Bluesummers May 31 2006, 04:42 AM

rooney is too cocky in my oppinon, he will learn his lesson soon. The guy is everywhere, plays defence forward mid, furthermore he has a bad temper. IF he gets to play in this wc, he will learn that he cant go running around just cause nistelrooy can take hi splace and have no problems.

If you could I'd be really thankful...Sheva's what made me a "Milanfan" in the first place, and to see an extended compilation would be grately appreciated.

Despite his transfer, and the sadness that it brings, he'll still be my favorite and to see a really thorough compilation would be great.

BTW...To hell with chelsea.

I'm tired of hearing people (media included) asking who will replace sheva. No one is going to replace Sheva. And to put that pressure on another player would do more damage than it would good. So lets ask who is going to lead Milan next...not who is going to be the next Sheva. There is and never will be another Sheva.

I pray Millan doesn't try to go out and find another Sheva...I hope they judge them soley on skill and experience...not if they can fill Sheva's shoes. That's like asking Barcelona to find someone to fit Ronaldinho's shoes if he ever left. It's impossible.

Very good point. I also thought about this too... I think Gila will be our next big striker... Not necessarly next season... But in the furure. I also think Kaka will play a big role for us now that Sheva is gone.

All this said, WE MUST GET TORRES! He is the kind of striker we are lacking... Everything Galliani has said is giving me a headache: "Sheva is going to be replaced with an equal..." "We won't sign a star..."
So that basically means no Torres... Or even worse, none of the candidates that we have mentioned so far, because almost everyone we have mentioned is a star...
Damn you Galliani! dry.gif

Exactly!!!We can't find the "New Sheva" this will hold us back just like it does Argentinians who try to find the "New Maradona" and before them Brazilians trying to find the "New Garrincha" (yes Garrincha is a bigger legend than Pele in Brazil).Not that Sheva is Maradona or Garrincha but we must look for an exceptional striker not a Sheva clone!!!Did we find a new MVB??No it's virtually impossible, but look us now thinking that Sheva is irreplaceable HE ISN'T!!!

As for the Sheva topic...I told this a hundred times (but it´s never enough): Shevchenko left, we won´t find a replacement, but we will (I hope so,..neh, I´m pretty sure..) make, create a new player, just like we did with Andriy and all are other legends. The legacy must go on! Now it is to our scouts to find a new talent, a young and not (yet) prominent striker.

As for Ibra...has anyone seen the Sweden - TT match yesterday? Well, bravo for Ibra, he proved something I allready knew..he is a clumsy, arrogant and useless striker and not suitable for Milan. Just like Ruud Van Nistelrooy or Ronaldo. Players, who´s time ended long time ago.
In fact, there are just two star strikers suitable for Milan at this moment - Adriano and Drogba. And here it ends all. Torres? Maybe, but I have some bad expirience with spanish players in Italy..remember Jose Mari, Javi Moreno or even Mendieta (at Lazio)? But we really should look closer to some players from Holland, France, Eastern Europe, Brazil, Argentina or Africa. For ewample Ajax or Marseille have some real good strikers. So buy a young talent instead of a expensive star striker, but bring a star midfielder or defender. We could need someone like van der Vaart or Sneider to play the X-mas tree again as a variation if things go bad... biggrin.gif

Posted by: Rossoneri7 Jun 11 2006, 03:29 PM

Well .. Warchant .. I really give this to u .. cz u took the words right out of my mouth .. There will never be another Sheva .. I must hand it to u also, that Milan shouldn't look for another Sheva-like-striker .. (which I'm sure MIlan has better sense than that) .. Instead look for a new way to play our football upfront i.e. to give more dimention to our attack line ..

As much as I hate saying this; I think it's healthy that Sheva left now, better than having him slacking off later on, so we could assess our options b4 it's too l8 ..

As you said - his talent, that showed up in Euro 04, and sometimes in Juve and I'm very sure with some Milan treatment he'll shine again.

Anyways I won't agree with Filipo, he performed quite well in Sweden's match, though, he has a problem a still can't fix it. He had some decent chances to score and didn't, just like Larson! rolleyes.gif

About Drogba I can say, I was very much nicely surprized by his performance. A good companion behind him like Kaka and Argentina might have lost.

Well, I was more talking about the media aspect of it. Like they say the Atletic Madrid star... So I guess that means no Torres because Galliani said no star... It's all confusing man...
BTW, Torres is a star in the making. There is no doubt about that. It's only a matter of time until we see him shine on the big stage. Don't take my word for it? just wait... wink.gif

I don't see this point, we are not going to replace Sheva? Yet we are already debating people to bring in since Sheva has left if that's not replacing what is?!

When I have mentioned names Torres, Riquelme (God Damn I got killed for mentioning a midfielder not an attacker!!!) I don't see them just being there to "replace" Sheva in character, stature etc I'm just looking to the future and a good player to guide us to success, as I'm sure nearly every Milan Fan is!

I don't just see them as a replacement, hmm as I said at the start I don't really understand the point being made in this topic unsure.gif

You are right...real stars come with the years, and many many matches. Some players shine for one period or tournement and then fall apart. I allways prefer players with 19, 20, 21 or 22 years to call talents, rather then stars. Robinho, Ribery, Torres - talents; Henry, Zidane, Sheva - stars! Cause it happens to often that we call someone to fast a star and then the young player doesn´t manage to hadle the pressure good. So be carefull when you proclaim someone a star! cool.gif

There's no U22 talent team can dominate Europe or even in a domestic league. Even you collect Torres, Messi, Robinho, Kompany, ... into one team. The reason is that they don't have enough experience to play equally during the whole long season (or even in a match). I also don't think we have enough world-class young talent players for all positions in a team. In history, Ajax was an example that similar with this (but not, because at least Van der Sar and Litmanen weren't youths but play important role in the squad).

The proof is that where is Cavenaghi? Alexandro? Boriello? ... and so on. Many of us even don't know who they are. That's mean in 10 talents today, the world will see only 2 or 3 world class players in the future.

If a team with all young talents, they are just a potential team FOREVER!

I think that Kaká has what it takes to be the next Milan leader. He has discipline, talent, and he wish to be great.

Posted by: golfaspeed Jul 31 2006, 01:23 AM

I think the 3 best strikers in the world right now are Sheva, Ronaldo, and Henry. (in that order)
Now sheva is in the premiership and now we get to see who is better, sheva or henry? (and some kid they call Rooney) I really hope sheva does well in england. After all we trained him. If he does well over there....that means that milan is superior to the english clubs. We train our players to be the best in the world, not just serieA. And sheva is going to prove it.

About ronaldo, i think he is stilll really good, he just needs a better coach. I think he will rise again under capello. Unless we pick him this season..then we can put him through milanlab and make him a more complete player. and he will dominate serieA again. Thats my dream transfer to milan for this year. Ronaldo. devil.gif

Posted by: YoungGun Aug 4 2006, 03:35 PM

I think we should stop arguing about legend or not of Sheva. Why? Because everybody has his own answer. Ex, for me and the Board of Milan (as they presented) Sheva is a true man, a legend with 7 extraodinary years and many glory. But, others, forget all we had together and call him a traitor. However, they have their own reason.

IMO, he didn't leave us to Real when we are nothing and Real was everything. This story is enough to proved that he is a kind of man who never leave Milan when we need. And you, you blame him because he left us. However, are you 100% sure that if you were him, you won't leave???? Remember, being a star is the meaning of you have to satisfied millions of fan, also your private famili, habbits, purposes ...

I think we have to wait another 10 years to finally get a replacement for Shevchenko ...

Gunnar Nordahl 221
Andriy Shevchenko 173
Gianni Rivera 164
José Altafini 161
Aldo Boffi 136
Marco Van Basten 124
Giuseppe Santagostino 106
Pierino Prati 102
Louis Van Hege 98

Filippo Inzaghi (*) 78
Pietro Paolo Virdis 76
Marco Simone 75
Aldo Cevenini I 73
Pietro Sante Arcari 70
Daniele Massaro 70
Giovanni Moretti 68

Look at the list of all time goal scorers ... come on, he'll be a legend once he retires ... I know many may not agree just bcoz of his decision to move ... but we must not forget that he played 7 years for Ac Milan ... and he doesn't deserve to be called a traitor ...

I was reading one of NHL (hockey) forums (Los Angeles Kings) and I found a topic where they were talkingabout Beckams move to their city. Offcourse in this forum are people from all over the world who love hockey and one of them is also one Italian guy who is actually also huge Milan fan (he has a season ticket for Milan for over 20 years) and the word somehow got to Shevchenko.
I quote wat they were talking:

Reply by Albi:
Nah, not threatened...that's way to much.

Shevchenko's wife is american and wanted to raise their son in England or US so he can learn to speak english, this is what Andryi said when he asked to be traded. But the rumor was around even before the request became official, so it happened that a couple fans who met her downtown Milan weren't very kind with her, but they only said "You B1tch, you're taking him away from Milan"...

This is the official version of why Shevchenko wanted to leave Milan. But there's another rumor going around here in the past few months, and I have a friend of mine who works in the fashion world who confirmed it. Btw, Sheva is a very close friend of Armani (They opened together a shop in Kiev), and the legend says Kirsten one day found his husband sleeping with an Armani's model (a guy). So she forced him to move to London or she would have told the media about it. Honestly I don't give a S about this story, I'm only disappointed with Andryi for leaving the way he did.

He could have said "Hey, he (Abrahmovich) will give me a ton of Euro and I want to play for another team". I wouldn't be happy as well, but still better than "My wife is the boss and I have to do what she wants". It's not that in Milan there'are not international schools to teach english to your kids...


I would not be shocked if they were talking abot a woman in Shevas bed but a guy (don't get me wrong - I have nothing against gey people). unsure.gif
This story about sleeping around with other people and the threat that she would have told the media about it, kind of explain why Sheva a couple of months before he left looked worried, tense (remember when he was sostituted) and out of nowhere started to confirm that he might leave Milan. I think that when he said that he wants to become like Maldini and end his carier in Milan he was telling the truth, but after that if wife caught him cheating everything suddenly changed and he was truly forced to move (to get away from his lover and wifenot telling the media).

Hleb Questions Shevchenko Decision

Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb believes Andriy Shevchenko should not have joined Chelsea in the summer.

The 30-year-old former Milan star has struggled at Stamford Bridge after scoring on his debut against Liverpool in the Community Shield.

Hleb told The Sun: "I would never have risked coming to England towards the end of my career. The older you get, the harder it gets.

"I was never convinced he would be able to play in England. I don't have anything against him. I respect him and rate him as a player.

"The problem lies in the style of the English league, in terms of the tempo and the time you get to think on the pitch.

"The Italian and English leagues are two very different propositions. And the younger a player is, the easier it is for him to adapt and get to grips with English football.

"There has been talk that Mourinho and Shevchenko have not found a common language.

"In my case, Arsene Wenger's role in helping me establish myself as a first-team regular was invaluable."

Chelsea players fear media 'snitch' Shevchenko
tribalfooball.com - January 16, 2007

Andriy Shevchenko is reportedly regarded by Chelsea teammates as a 'snitch'.

The Mirror says the rest of the players blame the £30million flop for the row between Abramovich and boss Jose Mourinho that is threatening to sabotage their season. They feel that Shevchenko, a close friend of Abramovich, is the owner's eyes and ears in the dressing room.

And they have been unsettled by the fact that the smallest details of the struggling striker's dealings with Mourinho appear to have found their way back to the owner.

"The players feel that if he is talking to Abramovich about his relationship with Jose, then what else is getting back," a source close to the team said last night. "They feel uncomfortable about the situation.

"It's a shame because the players think Sheva's basically a decent bloke but they can't really trust him any more and that's obviously no good for team morale."

Shevchenko backs Ancelotti for Chelsea job
tribalfooball.com - January 16, 2007

Andriy Shevchenko wants his former AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti to replace Jose Mourinho at Chelsea.

Shevchenko is reported by the Italian press to have told Roman Abramovich that Ancelotti is the man to get the best out of him and advised the Chelsea owner to bring the Italian to Stamford Bridge.

Shevchenko is supposed to have told Abramovich that "Ancelotti's the man for the job, he's just the man for us", which will hardly endear him to Mourinho, whose long-term position at Chelsea is in doubt.

Mourinho and several senior Chelsea players are suspicious of the perceived influence he has over the owner, which is shown by Abramovich's desire to recruit Avram Grant, the Portsmouth director of football, to improve the striker's form.

For his part, Abramovich is angry with Mourinho for failing to get the best out of a proven goalscorer who cost a club-record £30 million last summer and has taken the view that a player such as Shevchenko should be able to be integrated into any system.

Mourinho contends that he has done everything he can, defending Shevchenko publicly and playing him in every match until a Carling Cup tie away to Blackburn Rovers at the end of October, giving him a rest and attempting to motivate him further by saying that he is not one of his so-called "untouchables".

For his part, Abramovich is angry with Mourinho for failing to get the best out of a proven goalscorer who cost a club-record £30 million last summer and has taken the view that a player such as Shevchenko should be able to be integrated into any system.

Wouldn't put it past her, she seems like she is capable opf something like that, and if I where Sheva and she was carrying my child I would have also gone.

But I highly doubt that this is really what happened

Yeah can be like that...
but the gayness is not a weird thing in football world...
it's just that nobody comes out with it. unsure.gif

I have a good fantasy imagination, so Sheva being gay is not unrealistical for me lol

Why are you ppl still talking about the reason he left?
I mean who cares if he's gay or not, I don't!

I've been made a scapegoat, insists Shevchenko
Andriy Shevchenko says he has been made a scapegoat for Chelsea's current problems and is furious with reports suggesting he has become an unsettling influence at the club.

But Shevchenko, 30, told the Times: 'I am being made a scapegoat for things that have nothing to do with me.

'I have been attacked from all sides but I intend to carry on. I will grit my teeth. I am not a quitter I just want to be kept out of the politics.'

Shevchenko also rejected reports that he is a dressing-room 'spy' of owner and friend Roman Abramovich.

He told ESPNsoccernet: 'This is not true. I'm just one player, I'm part of the team like all the others and I don't think this is true at all.'

'I've got the same relationship [with Abramovich] as other Chelsea players, I'm just one player in the team, and I've got the same relationship as all the other players have.'

The former AC Milan player has shrugged off suggestions that there is tension between him and boss Joe Mourinho and insists he would accept any decision the Portuguese manager made.

He added: 'I highly respect him as a manager.

'Mourinho is a great manager. He has showed how much he's worth by winning so many titles,' he adds.

'He has won many titles, but I cannot judge him either as a coach or as a person because I haven't known him for long enough.

Shevchenko feels he has acclimatized to London, but his on-pitch performances have not been up to scratch and he has come under intense pressure to find the net.

'It's hard to judge my performance,' he says. 'The year is not over yet. So far I have not been at my optimum level, I need time but I'm working as hard as I can.

'I need more time, I need time to fit in, I played for another team, for a long time and now I've come to a new team. I need time and luck as well.'

Shevchenko however has now decided to stop talking to the English media - unless asked to do so by the club.

He declared: 'There have been a lot of quotes coming out from me that I don't even know where they've come from.

'They have caused a lot of hurt to me and my family. From now on other than sanctioned club press conferences all my comments will appear here on my official website.'

Posted by: Bluesummers Jan 19 2007, 12:11 AM

He does have a good point though. It's not his fault chelsea are not beating every team 6-0, he is only one player. Secondly whenever he is playing he gets marked like a mofo, so drogba or kalou find more space therefore allowing them to score. Premiership soccer is not a place for 30 year old strikers because you have less than 5 seconds with the ball. What i dont get is why the F*ck would you marry a f*cking g*dd*mn porn star. She models nude, hehehe now we know what sheva did on his lonely nights in milan wink.gif. The reason he left was more money, he'll retire in a few years so why not make some extra cash. Also think of this aswell guys, do you honestly think this year and the year after that he would have been able to "save us" if he stayed here, i think not. He's old he's slow he's done and he knows it. Murinho's time is up aswell, he should just leave. He doesnt belong in england, those manager positions only seem to do well with brits. Don't be hating on sheva so much cause he left you, dont cry about it. Even if he steps onto a pitch during his current form, defenders still fear him. Its not like they leave him unmarked. Do you think Puyol isn't afraid of him? Murinho will get cut for two reasons. He is playing the same f@cking style of football for the past two years. WE get it buddy it works. But now some of english defenders have used some brains and now he cant seem to win. IF chelsea were somewhat smart they would have bought fernando torres who could adapt, not some striker whose pretty much old and useless. sorry for gramatic errors.

But on another note, I don't think Sheva was finished. I'm pretty sure he would have still been good for us, sure he had been in decline for these past few years, but he was still what drove us on and our current form just shows how much we miss him.

Would I take him back? I don't think I could ever look at him the same way, Just a couple of months ago I could have never imagined Sheva wearing another shirt other then the red and blakc, but now I just can't imagine him in it.

Sheva made his mistake, now he has to live with it.

About Chelsea not going for Torres, well we all knew who wanted Sheva and that was Roman Abramovic and not Mourinho.

dry.gif Gila's position was different .. He wasnt a first team player until just 3 yrs ago .. He came into Parma's first team in late 2003 .. We all know what happened next

Torres has been with Athletico for sometime now and has been the back bone of his team for some time now.

I dont know .. Even if I try to explain it, I wont be able to show u my side of it, cuz it's just that Gila is an in-box player, while Torres is an all-round footballer. He can integrate with any team easily, cuz his talent is vast, while Gila .. He plays in one place and one place only plus other players have to sacrifice for him to score, they have to do all the work. Whilst in Torres's case, he moves the ball to create a goal oppertunity for himself or team-mates. Basically if Torres leaves Athletico Madrid, the team would fall hard on its back (kinda like what happened to us when S7 left), while when Gila left, Parma r still in Serie A rolleyes.gif

Aguero is the same striker type as Torres, so if Torres goes Altetico will still have a great striker, whereas since Oli is not scoring we don't have sheva's replacement!

Yeah but Aguero isn't exactly playing at Chelsea or Milan; where there is a strong squad available to support the attack.

I get what u mean, believe me I do ..

If Torres moves, Aguero wouldn't be the replacment for Torres as he has different charectoristics, he isn't a leader as Torres/Sheva are .. He is good, actually very talented, but just like Villa .. Maybe in time he'll turn into someone the club could lean on, but now .. I think it's too early wink.gif

Oliviera isn't Shevchenko's replacment .. He is a stand in. Sure the team depends on him, cuz he is filling in for Sheva, but he isn't exactly Sheva.

Barca plan Sheva swoop
Spanish giants Barcelona are hoping to lure ex-Milan star Andriy Shevchenko away from Chelsea this summer. The Ukrainian captain has come in for heavy criticism since his £30m move to the Premiership and reports are still claiming that there are problems between Sheva and Blues boss Jose Mourinho. Barca are reportedly preparing a bid of £15m for Shevchenko, with Coach Frank Rijkaard eager to use the striker in a dream trident attack alongside Samuel Eto’o and Ronaldinho.

Destiny Calls As Milan Savour Liverpool Re-Match

Is there such a thing as destiny in football? Manchester United fans had dared to believe it was their destiny to re-live the club's glorious 1999 treble this year. Jose Mourinho seemed to think it was his destiny to lead Chelsea to an unprecedented quadruple, and is struggling to accept that it is not to be. But Rafa Benitez, his captain Steven Gerrard and the Liverpool camp remarked a few weeks ago that they were getting the same sort of feeling about the Champions League as they had in 2005, when they went all the way and won the trophy in dramatic fashion.

Now on 23rd May in another Balkan hot-spot, Athens, Liverpool and Milan are destined to meet again for another trial of strength, tactics and nerve.

You could sense from the first minute in a sodden but soaring San Siro that Milan were men on a mission. They flew out of the traps and had Manchester United rocking back on their heels from the start. The sheer energy and purpose of their opening play proclaimed not only their belief that they could overturn the 3-2 deficit from Old Trafford, but also their burning desire to have another crack at Liverpool, who booked their ticket 24 hours earlier in the drama of a penalty shoot-out against Mourinho's strangely one-dimensional Chelsea.

Cajoled and inspired by the irrepressible Rino Gattuso, an all-action midfield enforcer and work-horse who in turn kept stoking the Rossoneri fans to a higher pitch of fervour amid the torrential rain, Milan controlled the match for all but a 15-minute spell at the start of the second-half.

They were sharper in the tackle, quicker to the ball, more inventive in their use of it, and typically resolute in defence in a way they were not at Old Trafford. United, unexpectedly flat and lacking the spark that Ferguson had been counting on when he promised a massive, attacking performance, simply had no answers.

Their suspect defence was exposed, their midfield effectively overrun and their attack unable to create or exploit space. Paul Scholes toiled manfully, always probing; but Michael Carrick was anonymous, and on the flanks neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Ryan Giggs could get much change from their Milanese markers. United repeatedly lost possession - either carelessly with a misplaced pass as they were hustled into hasty decisions, or because the tackles snapped in as they dwelt on the ball.

Gattuso and Andrea Pirlo, Kaka and the ageless Clarence Seedorf, shimmering with quality and hungrier than ever, had Athens in their nostrils and Liverpool in their sights; United were merely an obstacle to be swept out of their path. Kaka, Seedorf and Alberto Gilardino scored the goals that achieved that objective.

We waited in vain for United's famous powers of recovery to kick in; a goal for the visitors would surely have refuelled their belief and given them some momentum. But it never came. Dida was rarely troubled; Rooney well below his best. United, by Sir Alex's own admission, never really looked like scoring.

Ferguson had not previously lost a European tie in which United had secured a first leg lead, but other history was against him: Milan had overcome them in their previous meetings, including twice before at the semi-final stage.

As an ageing team, Milan are sometimes criticised for lacking new blood. Yet in those relatively old legs there is such a wealth of experience at this level. The Rossoneri were striving for a third Champions League final in five seasons. By comparison, United's side are tyros.

And perhaps there is another significant factor here, one touched upon - albeit gracelessly - by Mourinho. When the domestic league title is beyond you - and Serie A and the Premiership have long been beyond Milan and Liverpool, respectively, this season - it is easier to be single-minded about progressing in the Champions League. Neither United nor Chelsea, slugging it out for the Premiership title, had much let-up, or the luxury of resting several key players, in the build-up to the semi-finals.

But this was not an occasion for excuses, and to his credit Sir Alex did not look for any. He was gracious and magnanimous in defeat. Unarguably, Milan deserved their victory, and now the final beckons. It is hard to imagine we will see as thrilling a final as Benitez's Liverpool and Ancelotti's Rossoneri served up two years ago in Turkey. But the tactical battle of wits is sure to be compelling.

Meanwhile, imagine how Andriy Shevchenko must be feeling now. The team he struggles to fit into are out; the one that fitted him like a glove are preparing for another final. It's all about destiny....


How are you feeling sheva.. tongue.gif

The once king of the san siro.. missing out on enjoying another final with your real family..

Left your home to play in the champions league final or was it to win the premiership with chelsea..

Worked well either way..

any idea whats going on there?

Posted by: m1ke May 4 2007, 03:02 PM

I was in favour of having him back a few months ago, but we've really found our feet recently. It finally seems that we've moved on, and with Ronaldo in the CL next season I think we're going to have another great campaign.

Sheva will always be Sheva, but I don't think that bringing him back now would be the right decision (unless we get him for considerably less than what we sold him for!)

I think that us best. Oliviera never really got his chance on the pitch anyways. Milan kept favoring Inzaghi and Gilardino to him, now that Ronaldo is here. Oliviera isn't exactly as effective; I mean, we have Gila, why do we need another rolleyes.gif

And Chelsea would get a screw up ... But is Abramovic gonna accept giving Sheva back plus money fair huh.gif tongue.gif

only becuz we r playing 4-3-2-1 wilth a stand alone striker, i dont think it wud be great to have sheva back. and i am really behind this christmas tree formation, where both kaka and seedorf gets huge space to play and score as well.

maybe having ronaldinho will strengthen our formation and put a restriction in buying any more striker.

Posted by: I_Rossoneri May 5 2007, 11:59 AM

I don't want Sheva to return. He was the one who was desperate to leave Milan ohmy.gif , He was the one who was secretly talking to abra about a move for three years and he is the one now paying the price for his betrayal cool.gif

The sad fact is that he would have been remembered as a Milan legend but now he is remebered as just another player.

He left when the club needed him the most, jumped ship when the water was getting rough.

Now he can stay where he is. And besides I doubt he really wants to come back. These are all just rumours

Posted by: fresh_prince7 May 6 2007, 01:30 PM

Haha and now this debate comes up again.. lets just enjoy all the events that have happened in 2007. It really has been our year thus far.

Sheva gave us his soul for 7 years, took us to glory, led the team as captain. Ok he left when we really needed him, but he's still the 2nd all-time scorer and also a golden ball winner for our club. We've more than proven we can win without him even if that took time and tactical changes. He made a mistake which I'm sure if he could take it all back he would, but he's suffering enough. No doubt he will still be a legend of this club to any doubters, you can't blemish what he did for this club during his time here.

Anyway lets enjoy this moment instead of looking to the past, we've got a much bigger thing to rectify. devil.gif

MILAN - In the course of the press conference to launch the deal between A.C.Milan and Eagle Pictures, Adriano Galliani answered a question concerning Andriy Shevchenko: 'Sheva remains in our hearts, he and his wife have been invited to Athens to follow the Champions League Final. As for the future, let's see, he is a Chelsea player. Anyway, he knows, we will keep a place open for a few months seeing as after his marriage Kakà has freed up a non-European Union place. But we are not talking about the future too much, now we have to think about the final.'

Abramovic payed 30M in Sterling for him ! He isn't going to give us Sheva back on the cheap and Silvio will NEVER pay more than 10M EURO for a warn out Shevchenko !

As much as I liked this player, this news is making me loose respect for him. He didn't get as much attention in London as he did at Milan and now he wants to come back and act like he didn't walk out on a chance to become a legend ?? All he will become is a fringe, bench player. With Ronaldo up front, Shevchenko huh.gif ... Ronaldo and Shevchenko ohmy.gif ... biggrin.gif

would be just complete if he moves to the other Milano side biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Posted by: Kaka Is Brilliant May 10 2007, 05:40 PM

Point 1:

Yes, he did leave, but to have him back like I've said before at the right price I wouldn't say no to.

He left because of his wife, who wanted to live the London lifestyle, now she knows how $hit that really is (no offence Mike!). Yes he did kiss the Chelsea badge but he immediately after the game apologized to the AC Milan fans how many players would do that???

This guy is something else, or have you all forgot the goals, the assists, the runs, the skills, the pace, the effort and the heart Sheva contained and blatantly still does for Milan. I'm not saying I expect him to be treated like a king not for the first few months anyway until he proves himself to us again.



Point 2:

I think the main reason a lot of people are saying no to Sheva is because they want Ronaldinho in this team, the only major impact of having him in our team in my eyes is when you're down the pub with your mates you can say "yeah but we have Ronaldinho in our team". Someone was mentioning above about stars in Man United's team and how they rely on CR if we have Ronaldinho it will be like watching C.Ronaldo but an older/deteriorating version, we simply do not need this guy.

At first I thought wow Ronaldinho? That would be great, but when you look in reality if he does leave he will become the most expensive player in world football. We already have Kaka who's better than him (people unbiased would say that now), this would issue the message to Kaka yes you have scored 10 in 12 but we still want to sign the guy with the fancy name, great moral boost that would be.

We wouldn't be able to play the way we play with Ronaldinho in our side, we have a team of hard workers not one-trick show ponies and that's what makes Milan what Milan is! At this moment in time I wouldn't swap any of our midfielders, not even for one of the 2 Ronnies!

Berlusconi wants Sheva back

Milan President Silvio Berlusconi insists that he would be delighted to welcome back Andriy Shevchenko to the San Siro.

The Ukrainian quit the Rossoneri last summer when he joined Chelsea in a £30m deal, but the 30-year-old has had a difficult first season in the Premiership.

Although the striker recently committed his future to the Stamford Bridge outfit, rumours continue to claim that Sheva could be on the verge of a sensational Italian return.

“I am a Sheva fan,” the former Italian Prime Minister noted. “I would love him to come back and it would be a great signing for us.”

Milan had targeted Ronaldinho, but Berlusconi’s dreams of seeing the Brazilian with the Rossoneri jersey next season were shattered on Thursday after the player rubbished claims that he was leaving Barcelona.

Shevchenko’s return is therefore a possibility and Vice-President Adriano Galliani recently admitted that the club was willing to keep free a non-EU spot in their squad, while they waited to understand the Ukrainian’s future decisions.

Berlusconi was also inevitably questioned about next week’s Champions League Final with Liverpool in Athens.

“We must prove that we are stronger than bad luck, envy and injustice. If we will be able to do this, the Cup will be ours,” concluded the Via Turati chief.

Berlusconi has still not properly digested the outcome of the 2005 Final when Liverpool came from a 3-0 deficit to win the trophy on penalties.

Kaladze expects Sheva exit

Kakha Kaladze would not be surprised if his good friend Andrei Shevchenko quits Chelsea this summer.

Kaladze and the Ukraine international were team-mates at Milan prior to the striker's Blues switch at the start of last season.

Shevchenko has kept in regular touch with Kaladze and has given the impression that, after an indifferent campaign in England, he may be ready to move on.

The £30million capture netted just four goals in the Premiership amid talk of a divide in the dressing room and lack of support from Jose Mourinho.

"To do well at a new club you need help from your team-mates and I don't think the Chelsea team have helped Shevchenko at all," Kaladze told the Sun.

"Andrei and I are still friends. We speak a lot and he's not happy with what has happened this year.

"I am not sure what he is going to do this summer, but I don't think he wants to stay after a season like that and after the way the coach has behaved towards him."

Meanwhile, Kaladze has revealed he missed out on a move to The Blues back in 2005 as Milan were not interested in selling him.

"I spoke to Chelsea in 2005 and I wanted to go there," he continued. "But I still had a year left on my contract at Milan and they didn't want to sell me.

"Now I am really glad I stayed because a lot has changed for me and now I have the chance to play in the Champions League final."

On the contrary, United HAD to win in Old Trafford to stand a chance in Italy. At San Siro they entered the pitch with a defensive set.

They may have gone in with a defensive mind-set. But they went in with the same formation and same players (Except a better defense than the first leg) But when they were down they had to throw everybody forward, Kaladze didn't make one mistake. Just because he didn't do anything spectacular doesn't mean he played badly.

A defenders job is not to play superb, it's not to do anything wrong.

I personally thought France had a very poor defense. Any team that has Evra in the squad has defensive issues. wink.gif

Kaladze did some mistakes in positioning and he also tried to dribble Giggs (I think that was him) and it could have ended badly. Anyway, next to Nesta and God everybody would look good, even Phil Neville! I'll supporting each and everyone of our players tomorrow evening!

Milan vice president Adriano Galliani says the club are 'ready' to buy Andrei Shevchenko back from Chelsea - providing the price is right.

Shevchenko has failed to live up to expectations in the Premiership this season following his £30m move last summer, and there have been strong suggestions he will return to the San Siro.

And, while it is unlikely Milan would be willing to match the price Chelsea paid for the Ukraine striker, Galliani remains committed to getting his man.

"With the right conditions, as we have said for weeks, we are ready to buy him back," he told the Daily Star.

Many of those involved with Milan have come out to say there are no grudges against Shevchenko for moving to London last year, paving the way for his return to the club.

However, Galliani is concerned that their arch-rivals could yet steal the player from under their noses, with Internazionale president Massimo Moratti known to be a keen admirer of Shevchenko's ability.

"I know how to forgive betrayal. I just hope he does not speak to Moratti," he added.


"The only problem is the price."

Right now, the only Chelsea employee in Milan is Shevchenko himself.

I think I might let the jersey kissing go.

He wasn't exactly welcomed by the fans, I think it was just a showing that he wasn't there as Roman's friend, but as a Chelsea player.

I wouldn't mind seeing him back, he'd certainly be an upgrade on Oliviera. Plus I'd love to see who I consider to be the 2 most lethal strikers in my lifetime playing together.

come on man, the guy got what he deserved, a bad season for his standard, unsettle in english lifestyle, unable to win his second champions league, couldn't play in his natural position ... I think he must've realized that he made a bad decision

I wouldn't mind in fact I'd be happy to see him back, like kurts said It'd be a dream to see em' together

Y'know, I wouldn't put it past Moratti to try this.

But the Crespo deal was handled via fax (Inter must have a thing for faxes, what with getting a scudetto that way). Peter Kenyon and the other Chelsea directors stayed in London.

Right now, the only Chelsea employee in Milan is Shevchenko himself.

I agree with everything you said. But the reason I don't want him to come back is that I regard him as one a truly great player. Him coming back hat-in-hand would vanish any respect I've still got for him.

I don't think he'd ever opt to go to Inter. And Abramovic has nothing against Milan to agree a deal with the merda... but the fact that Berlusconi does not want him (his Chelski) in the G14! tongue.gif

Chelsea delay Sheva meeting 

A meeting between Chelsea and Milan to discuss Andriy Shevchenko’s future on Wednesday failed to take place, according to the Italian Press.

The Blues’ chief executive Peter Kenyon was expected in Italy to meet with Inter officials, but the club opted to send a fax to the Nerazzurri to confirm that Hernan Crespo will remain at the San Siro next term.

Milan and Chelsea officials therefore did not have the opportunity to meet and discuss Shevchenko’s future, although reports in Italy suggest that negotiations are well underway.

The striker left Milan to join Chelsea last summer in a £30m move, but struggled to cope with life in the Premiership.

The Rossoneri have reiterated over the past few months that they would welcome the 2004 European Footballer of the Year back to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

Shevchenko had insisted that he wanted another chance to prove himself in England, but it appears that neither Coach Jose Mourinho nor the striker seem keen to work with each other.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is open to a Milan return for the Ukrainian, but will not accept a loan deal, as he hopes to recover most of the £30m.

In the meantime, Milan have decided to extend Ronaldo’s contract, which is set to expire in June. The Brazilian’s agent Fabiano Farah was in town on Wednesday and the new one-year deal is expected to be announced in the next few days.

My uncle had a run in with a former Milanista his name was... Andriy Shevchenko

Turns out Sheva was in New Jersey with family (his wife's probably considering she is an American) Sheva still speaks very little English. He could barely say hi. btw this happened quite a few weeks ago but i never posted (or remembered) till now

Posted by: gal_kenny Aug 13 2008, 06:46 PM

Its sad he ain't coming back..He was the most complete striker (can take free kicks, shots, dribble, score with head which henry doesn't do, and score with both legs anytime)..However, he has dipped in form..I doubt if he'll still be as dangerous as he was in milan...

I don't even think if he came back he would recapture the magic he once had. That move to Chelsea ruined him, and I think irreparably. I'll pass if we had the opportunity to bring him back.

COMUNICATO UFFICIALE: SHEVA AL MILAN
23/08/2008
L'A.C.Milan comunica di aver raggiunto un accordo con l'FC Chelsea per il passaggio di Andriy Shevchenko in maglia rossonera. Il calciatore sarà domani a Milano per sottoporsi lunedì alle visite mediche.
I termini dell'accordo economico con l'FC Chelsea sono confidenziali.

[AC Milan announces having reached agreement with Chelsea FC for the transfer of Andriy Shevchenko. The player will be in Milan tomorrow to undergo a medical. The terms of the agreement are confidential.]

ADRIANO GALLIANI SU MILAN CHANNEL: "Bentornato a casa Andriy"
23/08/2008
MILANO - Adriano Galliani è intervenuto alle 19.00 in diretta su Milan Channel su Sheva: "Dopo una serie di frenetiche telefonate durate per tutta la giornata odierna, abbiamo raggiunto l'accordo con il Chelsea. Andriy torna in rossonero, domani sarà a Milano, lunedì si sottoporrà alle visite mediche, poi firmerà il contratto e da martedì sarà a disposizione di Carlo Ancelotti. Siamo riusciti a riportare a casa il giocatore che negli ultimi 50 anni ha fatto più gol con la nostra maglia. Il presidente Berlusconi ed io siamo felici, lo è anche il nostro allenatore e credo debbano esserlo anche i nostri tifosi. Credo che il Milan sia l'unico Club al mondo ad avere tre Palloni d'oro in squadra. Sì, Andriy è tornato a casa e ne sono felice. Sono un tifoso del Milan e sono molto contento. Andriy l'ho sentito 48 volte nelle ultime tre ore... I contenuti dell'accordo sono molto riservati. Entro domani sera Andriy sarà a Milano e ricomincia la sua vita da giocatore del Milan. Andriy ha sbagliato ad andar via e credo che da due anni a questa parte abbia capito che questa è la sua casa. Adesso ha fatto i suoi sacrifici economici ma a questo punto l'unica cosa che conta è che lui torna con noi".

[Adriano Galliani was interviewed on Milan channel about Sheva: 'After a series of frenetic telephone calls yesterday, we've reached agreement with Chelsea. Andriy returns in rossonero, and will be in MIlan tomorrow. Monday he'll undergo his medical after which he'll sign the contract and as of Tuesday he'll be at Carlo Ancelotti's disposition. We've been able to bring home the player who in the last 50 years has scored the most goals in our jersey. President Berlusconi and I are happy as is our coach and I believe our fans will be too. I tihkn taht Milan is the only club in the world to have 3 Golden Ball winners in its squad. Yes, Andriy's returning home and I'm happy about it. I'm a fan of MIlan and am very content. I've called him 48 times in the last 3 hours. The contents of the agreement are confidential. From tomorrow night Andriy will be in Milan and will recommence his life as a player of Milan. Andriy made a mistake leaving and I think that in the two years apart, he understood that this is his home. Now he's made economic sacrifices but the only thing that counts is that he's returned to us.]

He did respectably considering the subpar performances of the rest of the team. He did well in the 3rd place match too... getting more pace back.

What do you expect from the guy? He hasn't played competitively in a while. He's 28 years old. He's far from his peak.

Sheva is almost 32 years old...

I was reluctant about Ronaldinho. BUT... I support it now and I think he's going to be critical for our scudetto race.

Hey, do not believe what Galliani says. He says all sorts of stuff.

Like when he said we can't compete with Man City's bid for Ronaldinho.

What matters to me is the end result and he's delivering.

I'm still split on Sheva though. Part me of is cheering, and part of me.. is shocked.

Posted by: gal_kenny Aug 23 2008, 08:04 PM

Well, i guess we sort of deserve this because we haven't made any good transfers like in the last decade..We're one good CB from the perfect summer transfers....And we can actually switch formation..from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2 to 4-3-2-1 to 4-3-1-2...

Oh no. He's not getting that arm band I hope. That can go to Ambrosini or Pirlo... a loyal Milan player for example...

I just say we should give him another chance as a player.

Wikipedia says he got number 17.

As far as Real Madrid, buying Kaka... wishful thinking on their part. Kaka has even more reason to stay now. I think they'll try to get Ronaldo...

Posted by: whoarethepatriots Aug 23 2008, 10:30 PM

Kaka and Sheva are very good friends, he must of been hurt when he left. We all know they developed an excellent understanding. Sheva coming home will likely solidify that friendship and as Giancarlo said, mean Kaka is even less likely to leave.

We all know what happens to players when they leave

I'm not saying thats its incorrect, but don't think thats for certain.
I saw it as 17 on Milan's page and on Sheva's page he is listed as 76 (which given the rest of our squad numbers selected, I think he will get 76)
Anywayz, I'm just saying. (Lets not forget, even though Wikipedia provides us with a host of information it can be edited by anyone and its accuracy can sometimes be a tad off.)

After that I found the pic. which you see as my avatar (except R9 was wearing the Brazil colours) and I decided to make it the Milan uniform instead (took me a bit of time too considering I only used Microsoft Paint)

Can't believe it though it's gonna be soo good to see him back in a Milan shirt, wish he proved to the English that he was world class but nevermind he's back!

Calm down. He's back. He learned from an incredibly stupid mistake.

One last demand I have is that Sheva learns fluent Italian. He wanted to learn English in England... so he better learn Italian in Italy!

I thought he was fluent in Italian... how can one not be after seven years in Italy?

Is he?

I mean based on how little English he knows from being two years in England... I assume he didn't learn Italian well either.

His Italian is very good.

Posted by: Giancarlo Aug 24 2008, 09:29 AM

I guess so... I just hope he kept his skills.

Posted by: amancik Aug 24 2008, 09:44 AM

I can't wait to see him in red & back again. Blue doesn't suit him at all.

Posted by: MizNelson Aug 24 2008, 10:44 AM

Nice, our transfer market has consisted of bringing back Abbiati and Shevchenko. Maybe we'll complete the hat-trick by re-signing Laursen. dry.gif

Not a chance.

Posted by: Tennie Aug 24 2008, 11:21 AM

Laursen is the Villa captain. Kurt would kill us in our sleep. smile.gif

Posted by: Fillipo Simone Aug 24 2008, 11:46 AM

Still, Laursen IMO is much better then Kovac..

Posted by: KillerMax Aug 24 2008, 11:51 AM

Laursen, Helveg, Tomasson... wub.gif

If Sheva does well in Milan I think EPL fans will think that Serie A is "easy", isn't that right?
