Sheva eyes Serie A return

Andriy Shevchenko has sensationally admitted that he may leave Chelsea soon as he feels he isn’t suited to Coach Jose Mourinho’s system.

The former Milan ace moved to the Premiership side during the summer in a £30m deal, but failed to live up to the expectations preceding his arrival in England.

Sheva was paired with a return to Milan in January on a loan deal, although it became clear that the rules limiting the arrival of non-EU players from a foreign club would make this impossible.

“I feel at home at Chelsea and it’s felt like my team for a long time, but I admit I could leave – my game doesn’t suit the Coach” the striker told the Daily Mirror.

“Everyone has been saying that I could be sent on loan to Milan, but I still haven’t discussed this with the management.

“I think they probably still haven’t decided themselves,” continued Shevchenko, who scored his first Champions League goal for Chelsea in Tuesday’s match with Levski Sofia.

“However, if this were to happen then I’m ready to pack my bags. I’m a self-confident person, if I don’t suit somebody I’ll go back to Italy and prove how good I can still be.

“I don’t think I’m finished as a player and I don’t feel I have something to prove, everyone knows what Shevchenko is capable of,” added the Ukrainian.

“Chelsea owner Roman Abramovic is a friend and completely on my side, but all he could do was insist on a loan deal instead of me being sold.

“I understand Mourinho – I’m not scoring as many goals as I would like to. Of course I would be sorry to leave London, firstly because of my family, who have already made a new life here.

“My wife Kristen was pleased with the move which allowed her to finally find herself in an English-speaking country. It’s clear that I will not move Kristen and our sons back to Milan.”

I think this clears it up more since the football Italia article was confusing.

I think he is just saying that if they want tooan him then he wouldn't have a problem with it, but would rather not move his family again.

And I think he has just admitted here who wanted to move to England and it wasn't because he wasnted to learn English

why would we help him get out of this situation?? I don't want Milan to get any flop on loan...

ohh.. he wants us so bad..

I think that the reason is Mourinho wants to sell him and Abramovic only wants to loan him out as a compromise. Everyone knows who's purchase Sheva was, he never fitted into the Mourinho pipe line.

I think Sheva only wants to return for footballing reasons but doesn't want to leave England because of his family

Mourinho was always a Shevchenko fan. Even in Porto he said that zillions of times "Kaka' and Shevchenko are amazing. The best players in the world on their positions". He said that when he arrived in Chelsea too. He has a lot of respect for Milan.

But 1 thing is "you like a player". Other is that "if that player fits on your team and in your league". So, I'd say that was more like an Abramovich buy than a Mourinho choice.

Well, dunno. I never though Shevchenko would say something like this.

Totally agree.

Chelsea play their best football when they play with Robben and Cole suppoting Drogba on the flanks.

Sheva never fitted into Mourinho's system. He doesn't even fit into the English system.

Mourinho might be an admirer of Sheva but I don't think he wanted him that much. Roman was the one that wanted him, he got him and he isn't working out. I think Abramovic should stick to what he knows best, shelling out the cash and not stick his head in something he understands nothing about, which is football.

About Sheva saying what he said, I think he's getting fed up, look after he scored the goal and the way he celebrated it and compare it to when he last scored a league goal for Chelsea. I don't think his head is with Chelsea. Or maybe something really is brewing between us and Chelsea and this was everyones way of putting it out there

Sheva back in Milan? Believe me... it'll happen!

You really think it will happen?

I don't know. I have serious doubts that he will ever wear the Milan shirt again (unless it's one he got off of ebay that is ). It's just not realistic. If he wants to come he should have stayed in the first place, I think it's too late now.

Interesting. Maybe Ash will get to change his forum name back

TBH I don't want him back and especially on a loan deal. It makes us look bad and it makes him look bad.

Exactly. PRIDE!!!

Well, I hope it doesn't. We are not a trash can.

Maybe in 7 years as a scout for the Ukraine and Russia.

Well, I don't want Shevchenko on loan. Or he's a Milan player or not. Milan don't use "loan" players... we're not Inter.

::cough:: Crespo ::cough::

It's not about wether we take him on loan or not. It's the taking him back part that I don't like. He made his bed now he has to lie in it.

He knew what type of football Mourinho played when he decided to go there, it's not some big secret.

I am pretty certain from what Sheva said that Mourinho wants to sell him, it's perfectly clear, this is just saying I'm not going to stay where I'm not wanted, Abramovic wants him to stay, so there is going to be a loan as a compromise.

btw, has anyone noticed how he is now admitting that Abramovic is his friend, a couple of months ago in the beginning of the season when the media where saying that he went to Chelsea because of Abramovic and the money and that he gets special treatment he said that they where only colleagues. Now they are close friends

Even when he was in Milan, he already was a big friend of Roman Abramovich.

100% agree.

They both admitted this recently. Abramovic even said that he wants to make Sheva a Chelsea president or something after his footballing career will be over

Yeah I know that, but first he was denying it whoile haertedly now he is admitting it, because somethings are not going according to his master plan.

Yup. I heard that somewhere.

poor Sheva.. terrific player but in a wrong team..

so it's true what people often say : what goes around comes around

He will most likely get loaned out, to which team is uncertain. I doubt he'll come back here, because the players wont accept him back. Maybe newcastle?

I don't want him on loan either. But in this desperate situation I'm afraid Galliani will do it, cause he has no other option. Silvio doesn't want to spent big money for the club right now (except for Ronaldinho maybe) and we need another striker.
And about the pride thing. I think even by this recent commentaries Sheva lost some of his, and he'll lose much more when he'll be back after 6 months begging for forgiveness...
Oh and I've heard Maldini and Gattuso spoke out against him...

DEAR SHEVA!!!
why did u have to leave
I/we miss u so much our team is a FCKING disaster I/we want you back soooo bad i hope you come back really soon I/we know u miss those SHEVA!!...SHEVA!!!...SHEVA!!! cheers at the SAN SIRO

(NOT to sound gay or anything but...) the results are bad and you all know we need sheva , its just what we need .dont try to be all HARD and say u want him to sink . if ur a real milan fan u no hes a brother to us
is true that he left but c'mon ppl make mistakes

just imagine
if sheva comes back is going to be a boost of confidence everybody knows that sheva means goals and everybody in the club knows sheva already. is not like he has to addapt to the club BECAUSE hes made for this club.
winning times will come back
IF YOU LUV AC MILAN U WANT WAT IS BEST FOR THE CLUB

I was just watching Chelsea TV, and one of their reporters mentioned this and said that Sheva said this story came out from a russian magazine and it was not translated correctly

Sounds like a lot of bull to me.

Yup. 'Bad translation' it was the explanation.

That's why we don't want him back!
May be he made a mistake by going to chelsea, but he did kiss their shirt, 2 months after he went away from San Siro, and this is just unacceptable!!!
Without Milan he'd have nothing, he'd be nothing!!!!!!!

I can't see how that was misinterpereted to what came out in the media today. It's just not realistic.

I think that he said what he said now they're going into damage control.

btw didn't he say the exact same thing a few weeks ago??

Something is not right here. It might be just all bull sh!t from the media or we really could see Andriy back here.

Who knows

NO. He gave a lot to Milan and Milan gave a lot to him. He was an excellent player before he came and with talent like his he would have succeeded everywhere !!

With the amount of bull sh!t coming from the media I wouldn't be surprised

Definately, he took Dynamo Kieve of all teams to the CL semi finals practically all by himself.

He is struggling now because I think it's too late for him now, especially to adapt to a league that is very different and fast paced to that he was used to in Ukrain and Italy.



What I meant was, how could, what Chelsea are making everybody believe he said be THAT different to what came out in the papers.

I can't see how that was misinterpereted THAT badly.

I think this is damage control what Chelsea are doing

Exactly. He was more than amazing back there. Almost every big club wanted him, especially Man Un but thanks god Dinamo Kiev president and Silvio are good friends (it helped also with Kala).

About the media I don't know. Russian newspapers are extra bad

Who knows really what was said.

Fact is, this loan thing won't happen and I'm almost 100% sure of this

Me too

Yes it did...

I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO SAY THAT!!!!!



Now it's Porto's turn

Actually Bayern wanted him too

Unfortunately.

Got it. If you wouldn't have replied to this one I would have seriously thought that you had suddenly fallen ill or something

?!? Why did this help with Kaka?? lol

KaLadze not Kaka

Kala = Kaladze

ah I was misreading it LOL
actually kaladze is not THAT bad... better than bonera .... ^^

Bonera isn't bad either, he's just played out of position all the time.

But they are overly dramatic, they make Kala sound like he's the equivelent to Boumsong from Juve

at least he jumps higher than 5cm from the ground!!

and to mchanna... shame on you for mistaking Kaladzinho with that untalented kid Ricky Kaka...

well.. I seriously need glasses.... my doctor said so for the past 30 years,. but I was refusing to take them, because I don't like the new fashion...

He was a good player, Milan made him a world class player!
If he went to Juve or Merda, he probably be not the player he became with us, every one knows how Milan take a good care of every single player of it's own, look at Seedorf and Pippo, by now if they stayed in their clubs they would be obsolete!!!

He wasn't alone there, rebrov was great too, they had a good midfield and an average defense, plus Lobanovski who was actually the soul of that team!

And who scored that hattrick against Barca ?
