makes you stop and think, are they taking the same strategy with KAKA and Real Madrid?  Is he saying these things to help milan get as much money as possible be4 he leaves us?  Lets hope not.  (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Rui Costa, Stam, Shevchenko and Kaka' leaving in the same season? That'll be a huge shock for every Milan fan.

Would the Milanisti "accept" that? I don't think so. If that happens... something wrong is going on 'inside Milan'.

I don't think there was that "strategy" being used by Milan, he had a long term contract with us Milan didn't need for him to say that he wanted to stay because they had all the power when it came to Sheva's sale, if he should go and how much money he would have gone for, and since Abramovich was desperate to get Sheva I'm sure he wouldn't have blinked twice to spend twice as much as what he spent for him, I mean look at how Chelsea (in my oppinion) got robbed in the whole Essien thing.

Sheva kept saying he wanted to stay at Milan for the fans so he could look good in their eyes, but eventually the truth had to come out since he wanted to leave. If he wasn't going to leave he wouldn't have said anything and figured it out on his own. The moment he announced to the press that he was thinking of leaving I knew for sure that he wouldn't stay, because if he wasn't sure if he wasn't going to stay he would have figured it out in private then if he decided to stay he wouldn't say anything and if he decided to leave he would have announced it for certain and not make the fans go through what they did, with the whole I'll say when I come back from holiday then he said I'll say tomorrow

I might be wrong, but dont all clubs have control over what their players say to the media? Cant they be fined for saying the wrong things? And the fact that Berlusconi was the one who let the news out proves that sheva had already spoken to managment and berlusconi wanted to be the one to break the news. All the statements made by all parties made it obvious that this was all planned out. Its all about politics. Players cant just say whatever they wanna say whenver they wanna say it.

But some people would rather just be in denial about it all.

You're not alone on that portugal.

I live in Malta our first language is Maltese, but some parents choose to start talking to their children when they are young in English, and they regard English as their first language. They could have done that, the only one that needed to learn English in my oppinion was Sheva, I'm not sure if any school in Milan that teaches English sees to all his majesties requirments but I'm pretty sure he didn't need to move to England to learn English.

For god sakes how much did he earn per week he could have hired a personal tutor to teach him English at home if he didn't have the time I'm sure he could have afforded that.

The English excuse is just pure bull sh!t that he fed us so as not to make his fans see that he was greedy for the money or whatever the hell Roman offered him if he went to chelsea and agreed to play with his other collectables

You have hit the nail squarely on the head there, Han (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

In regards to the whole sheva "lieing" to us thing.....I wouldnt be surprised if all the statements that sheva made about "staying in milan" and about "moving to chelsea is just rumors" were things that Milan management told him to say.  They told him to say all those things.  Who knows why,  maybe to make Chelsea willing to pay more for him.  If he said he wanted to go to chelsea from the start....they probably wouldnt have got 30 mil pounds for him.  You know what I'm saying?
And as for his decision to leave...all great players have ambitions too.  They want to see if they can be great somewhere else.  They want to see how much they can accomplish in the short career of a footballer.

And for everyone that is disrespecting Mrs. shevchenko, if you had a family, (i.e. Wife& kid) you would have to consider their feelings too.  because anyone who puts their job before their family is not a "Man".  To do something like that would make you a coward.  And im willing to bet most of you guys on this forum do not have wife and kids.  so you cannot even understand how difficult a decision this must have been for sheva.  After everything that sheva has done for milan,  you are all just disrespectful.  Sheva doesn't disrespect milan, he speaks very highly of milan and the fans.  That makes him a real "man" in my book.  Above the all the rest.  FORZA SHEVA!!  Please,  try to show the same respect in return. 

One more thing,learning english in Italy, is not the same as learning english in England.  Just like learning Italian in engalnd, is not the same as learning to speak italian in italy.  Makes sense right?    (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
