^ i'm pretty sure it's 2 non-eu per year and not per transfer market.

well if this is true then galliani and company truly are idiots for not getting a defender.

Well, we would have to settle for a European defender in that case, or a South American one that has EU status... Cardacio for sure does have EU-status... so it won't be difficult finding someone like him (or speeding up the process for his status)...

It still can be worked out if we manage to get Thiago Silva EU-status somehow... or someone like him.

While I think Galliani has done a great job with the transfer market, this would be the one blemish for me of the transfer season. I've been against Sheva come back from day one.

[whoarethepatriot...]

Here are links indicating that Viudez has indeed taken up one of the two non-eu spaces.

I think 3 sources are sufficient.

I read that both had EU citizenship, i guess my source was wrong (stupid source). If he comes then there is no more space for anymore Brazilians, which is good. As long as Dida and Emo are still on the payroll i am against any more coming. Santacroce and Curci anyone?

[TriniKing_CE]

I feel just like you do Jack, on one hand I don't want him to come because it is a big possibility that his glorious past with Milan will become more tarnished then it already is (with him leaving like he did and all)

But on the onther hand I do think that he would be able to still make it at Milan. I watched Chelsea games when he played last season and even this pre-season, Sheva gets in these amazing positions in acres of space, but no one passes the ball to him, he's screaming his head off to get a pass when he's in a great spot but the ball never comes. I just think that Sheva and Chelsea are all wrong for eachother and he seems like an outcast on that team, both in the dressing room and on the pitch. At first I wanted him to fail but now I just feel sorry for him. I just think that Sheva back at Milan wouldn't be as huge a mistake as some people think it would be, and yes he has lost his pace but he's a smart player, he can re-adapt his game, and in Serie A a player doesn't necissarily have to rely on pace if he has the tactical know how.

btw the Pato-Sheva-Kaka-Seedorf-Pirlo-Ronaldinho group is amazing but imagine having all those players with Sheva and Dinho of just 2 years ago :sigh:

You took the words right out my mouth...
In one mind I would love to see Sheva succeed at Milan once again and possibly for the fans to forget the past and embrace him again like they all once did.
But I also know in the back of my mind that the possibilty of him failing here (or at least not living up to expectations) could actually make things worse, and I certainly don't want that.

I just wish he can rejuvenate he his career and end it as a Legend (imo he already is) that will be remembered.
As opposed to one whose legacy was tarnished because of his failure afterwards.

Like Tennie and Giancarlo i am against Sheva returning but i'm ready to forgive if he apologies and scores more than 20 goals.

I've been against Sheva come back from day one.

me too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) + If I'm not mistaken Sheva's STILL NON-EU
Berbatov
Nilmar
Sobis

are all better options....Hell I'd even take Saviola from Real OR we could beef up our defense and try getting Santacroce

Berbatov is very expensive...

But still there are better people out there than Sheva. And Sheva is still non-EU? What has been doing all these years? He could have applied for the status like Ronaldinho?

[vahid]

So every fan is against Sheva! I think Galliani just wants to use him as a free quick fix
I prefer Paloschi to him

Shevchenko has had the opportunity to get an EU passport (namely an Italian one) but has always refused to do so, stating (more or less) that he's proud to be Ukrainian.

[Giancarlo]

I'll be honest here... if he does come, I'll not be happy but I'll hope that he does well. For our sakes he better do well if he does come.

My opinion is that Paloschi isn't ready yet. Sheva will do well here I don't think that's too much of a gamble...but I am against it in principle

Milan, per Sheva manca solo l'annuncio

Manca solo l'ufficialità, ma Andriy Shevchenko è sulla strada del ritorno al Milan, a due anni da un addio particolarmente doloroso, e dopo un'esperienza deludente al Chelsea. E ancora una volta l'ucraino dovrà ringraziare il patron rossonero Silvio Berlusconi, intervenuto in prima persona per sbloccare la trattativa, e ha realizzato il suo secondo sogno, dopo quello di Ronaldinho. L'accordo con il patron russo del Chelsea Roman Abramovich è arrivato a Ferragosto, durante un incontro in Sardegna. Carlo Ancelotti ha letto la notizia sui giornali di oggi. "Mi ha sorpreso, ma finché non arriva l'ufficialità è inutile che dica qualcosa. Non ho sentito Sheva al telefono, se ci incontreremo ci parleremo", ha tagliato corto. Ma il presidente del Consiglio coltivava da parecchi mesi l'idea di riportare a Milano l'attaccante a cui più si era affezionato negli ultimi dieci anni, tanto da averne battezzato il primogenito Jordan. E Shevchenko, 32 anni a settembre, dal canto suo, non ha mai nascosto il rammarico per essersi trasferito a Londra due anni fa, quando ne aveva altri due di contratto con il Milan. All'epoca, per l'ucraino era "il momento di pensare alla famiglia e ai figli", che la moglie Kristen, ex modella americana, voleva far crescere in un ambiente anglosassone. "E' una scelta sofferta, spero che l'accettiate", assicurò al popolo rossonero che lo volle in curva per l'ultima partita di campionato, e lui abbracciò tutti come a chiedere perdono a chi faticava a capire perché andasse via dopo sette stagioni in cui aveva segnato 173 reti (secondo solo a Nordhal nella storia del club) e vinto tutto in Italia e in Europa, Pallone d'oro incluso. Così, nell'estate 2006, il Milan lo lasciò andare, incassando dal Chelsea 45 milioni di euro, il doppio di quanto lo pagò dalla Dinamo Kiev quando aveva solo 23 anni.
Passano due anni, in cui Shevchenko è un calciatore sempre più frustrato dalle molte panchine a cui lo hanno condannato i tre allenatori succedutisi alla guida del Chelsea, da Mourinho a Grant, fino all'ultimo, Scolari, che lo ha mandato in tribuna domenica all'esordio in Premier League. Ora invece, il Milan se lo riprende a costo zero, in prestito con diritto di riscatto, e realisticamente l'attaccante accetterà anche una riduzione d'ingaggio. Stasera l'ucraino giocherà con la sua nazionale in amichevole, e già domani potrebbe essere a Milano. Una insipida minestra riscaldata, o un ritorno trionfale? Se lo chiedono i tifosi rossoneri, che di simili flash back, carichi di speranze e dubbi, ne hanno già visti, da Ruud Gullit a Roberto Donadoni, da Marco Simone a Cristian Abbiati: "Siamo abituati a queste sfide - conferma Ancelotti - qualche volta è andata bene, altre meno, dipende dalle motivazioni del giocatore".

Can you do your magic on this one Tennie?

[CrazyMilanFan]

I will like sheva and am quite certain he will work out for us

[vahid]

I'll be honest here... if he does come, I'll not be happy but I'll hope that he does well. For our sakes he better do well if he does come.

But if he does come,I'll hope he fail and don't score any goal,we have another strikers and we can buy a new great one in the January transfer window

[kurtsimonw]

Are you kidding me? I wake up and this is the news I get? Sheva? Why should any Rossoneri forgive him?

Because he's one of the greatest players ever to wear the red and black. Anyways, I still think he'll be a good player in Italy and I'll be happy to have him back.
