The details on that are not yet disclosed. As far as I know.

NO WAY IN HELL!!

I fear the consequences (no cookies will be awarded to me anymore)



What a night!!


Galliani says no more transfer and we buy Cardacio, Viudez, Shevchenko, (not to mention the probable CB buy). that's even worse.



I'm already loving him again! I said I would lose my respect for him but now I see I just can't do that.

And even though we won the CL after he left, I agree, Milan wasn't the same after he left...

His arrival would make the team more competitive..However, he looked better in the Milan jersey anyways..

Fucking pathetic. All I have to say, ciao.

Welcome to MF

Explain why.

even with me being a ninja i cant help but be surprised

doh

Welcome...

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic..

But there are very few people on here than wanted Sheva back as much as I, so yes, I did want him back.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Kaka and Ronnie and Pato and Sheva?!

Can you say unstoppable!

Now that's an unstoppable force..But they have to work as a team here...No one trying outshine the other..Then we'll be good to go...

well it took me a few minutes to get over the shock but if Shevchenko helps Milan win Lo Scudetto in Maldini's final seaon then I will have forgiven him FM

Why? Because we keep strengthening the wrong positions. I'd rather see a fresh goalie and some strengthening in the defense rather than a 32-year old Sheva, who will steal game time from our youngsters so they won't get the proper experience. That's why.

And thanks

LOL what silvio wants silvio gets i guess. This has nothing to do with our transfer funds. I'm somewhat happy he is back and somewhat dissapointed that we payed for him. He is def not what we need and i hope we still sign a defender. As far as galliani goes i would not say he's lost because hes signed what? 8 players with 40-60 mil transfer fund which is amazing in itself. He is a mercato genius when having to sign a lot of players with liittle money.


lets see so far who we have:

flamini
antonelli
borriello
ronaldinho
viudez
cardaccio
zambrotta
abate(out)
abbiati
shevchenko


That is 10 players with 1 being transfered out. i can only say wow , did i ever underestimate him or what.

For one, we were lacking strikers... Borriello and Inzaghi are injured. Pato is still not back. We were putting too much on Pato. Abbiati is a good goalkeeper, and I think with one more defender we will be fine. But the fact remains is that we needed more experience in our forward line.

This will ensure we have no more crisis with regards to strikers.

I think our youngsters will get plenty of playing time. Including Pato.

guys we dont need a goalie right now. Abbiati is probably the best one we can get because no team this close to deadline will part with their gk. If we want a gk we will have to sign him july 1. As far as defenders i believe that we will sign or loan someone. I can't believe i'm saying this but,

In galliani we Trust

You mean Antonini.

We also sold Simic and loaned out Gourcuff.

Either way, this looks like a solid set of signings to me. I'm sure Viudez and Cardacio will stay put.

gourcuff didn't do anything so keeping him here would be a waste of time/space/money. simic ?? LOL

And i also forgot flamini. The man is a genius, truly outstanding. He has shut me up to the core and i was complaining to no end at the beginning of the mercato, ask R7

Well, Gourcuff I'm sure will do better in the future... he needed more experience... he seems to be developing at a slower pace than expected.

Simic... was still sold, putting emphasis on the fact we need another defender.

Yeah of course Flamini... and I've been nothing less but impressed by him since he arrived to Milan.

This mercato has been full of surprises and good signings.

Ehhh Boriello won't be out very long and Inzaghi have played the last two matches, so no, I wouldn't say we're lacking strikers.

I've always been a skeptic of Borriello. What were to happen if he fails?

Inzaghi is 35 years old and even though I love the guy, he won't be playing all matches. Leaving us with one reliable striker. The young Alexandre Pato.

Welcome Home GOLDEN BOY !!! Bring that long nose Mourinho down !

ADRIANO GALLIANI: "Welcome home Andriy"
8/23/2008

MILAN - Adriano Galliani talked at 19.00 live to Milan Channel about Sheva: "After a series of frenetic phone calls held during the entire day, we have reached an agreement with Chelsea. Andriy comes back in red and black, tomorrow he'll be in Milan, on Monday he will undergo the medical visits, then he will sign his contract, and on Tuesday evening he will be available to Carlo Ancelotti. We managed to bring back the player who in 50 years has scored the most goals with our shirt. President Berlusconi and I are happy, so is our coach, and I think our fans should be too. I think Milan are the only club in the world who have three Golden Ball winners in the team. Yes, Andriy has returned home and I am happy. I've spoken to Andriy 48 times in the last three hours... the details of the deal are very private. Before tomorrow night Andriy will be in Milan and his life as a Milan player will start again. Andriy made a mistake in leaving and I think that in these two years he has understood that Milan is his home. Now he has made economic sacrifices but at this point the only thing that counts is that he is coming back to us."

acmilan.com

I hope he won't disrupt Pato's progress at Milan that's the only scary part of Sheva coming back for me...

Yeah, if we had the Sheva and Ronnie of 3 years ago...

We'll see hopefully both will regain some of that form

Only in Milan


Welcome back

I think the two will play well alongside each other. And I think we may start to play with more than just one striker.

4-2-2-2 perhaps...

Welcome home son



guys give him a chance, he wouldn't have returned if he didn't know that he made a big mistake...

I don't think that will be much of a problem, we'll be playing a lot of games this season, and with this squad (especially if we manage a CB) I would like to see Carlo trying to go for all 3 competitions we're involved in, yes even the Coppa. And plus, injuries could easily come out of no where if Kaka's injury persists and something happened to R10, we would only have Seedorf, so 2 strikers would be needed to start.

Plus Sheva will be a good influence on Pato he will guide him, he's still young and Sheva is a great professional and a great guy, no doubt he will have a good effet on Pato

Defeinately no 4-2-2-2. That magic square cr@p is what made Brazil so terrible in te world cup. Carlo, I'm hoping, won't make the same mistake.

It will either be 4-3-1-2 or 4-3-2-1. Maybe a 4-2-3-1 at times, but definately not a 4-2-2-2.

Hmm...I dunno what to think about this. Sheva was great in the old days. But he lost my respect and will never regain it.
Besides that...I hope his return will make us more competitive.

Hey, anyone wondering what mishale is doing? I would bet that he's out in the streets streaking

Probably something beyond our imagination

wow go away and we sign sheva gr8 to hear that lets hope he gets back to his best..... R80,kaka,sheva man milan is gonna rock in PRO

Galliani stated after his medical on monday he will sign a contract - to me that means he is signing and not loaning.

Also all the details are being kept private, I wonder why? I reckon Berlusconi has paid exactly what chelsea wanted
chelsea 1 Milan 0

yea we bought him this just shows that if silvio want a player he get him

Well Chelsea fans seem to think that thet've been made a fool of again and that's why they won't release details. Like with the Crespo deal and them buying Sheva in the first place.

Personally I think that Silvio bought Sheva out of hiw own pocket, he wanted him back no matter what so he brought him back, like I said a few posts back, too bad he isn't this determined to get a CB

wiiii, great news i sure he won't have to many trouble to star once again !!! what a team this is gonna be, we'll have a good bench after a long long time

Maybe that was a bit rash on my part. 4-3-1-2 will only work if we rotate Kaka and Ronaldinho. That formation will never see both of them on the field. And 4-3-2-1 will only see either Shevchenko or Pato on the field. Not them at the same time.

What about 4-2-3-1?

No. Sheva is not worth anymore than 10 million euros in his present state to Chelsea and I don't think we paid any more than that for him.

So Milan 1 Chelsea 0. We got Chelsea to pay 45 million euros for the guy.

I personally think we got him on the cheap because of Robinhos impending arrival to Chelsea.

kaka-r80-pato behind the stiker u mean ? i think we will should play some type 0f 4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2 back four than pirlo-flamini after that r80-kaka and after that the stiker now we will have proper 4 stiker so yea 2 stiker should be used

Oh I see the difference here... I consider Kaka and R80 attacking midfielders and Pato as a striker. I think Pato would be better to play alongside another striker, rather than being alone up front... I'm tired of the 4-3-2-1 formation honestly...

4-2-3-1 may neglect some of our other midfielders. My oh my, we have a huge set of midfielders.... lots of depth... but it could cause issues. Either way, best to have an expansive set of players, rather than fewer players. I want Brocchi sold though.

may be converting ambro to CB now get more serious bcoz emerson,rino,pirlo,ambro,cardaccio,brocchi,flamini if we play 2 AMs and 2 stikers only 2 of the players will play and we will have seedorf on bench as well

That's what i'm saying..Competitive in every part of the team...Chelsea and Barca possess that too..Just like chelsea's bench..At least i'm proud to bring out a very very competitive 2nd team...

Um I think there will be more rotation... and I think that Brocchi and Emerson will for the most part be left out. I think that Flamini/Ambro and Cardacio/Pirlo will be played more often...

hmm looks rite but u know rino is also there let see one thing is certain we do have depth whihc we lacked in the last 2 years or so

Yeah but I think Rino may be rested more often... there are many possibilities for the midfield and that pleases me. Our set of strikers is looking more polished now too...

It's actually a little unnerving to me. I can't automatically name Milan's starting XI for any given game. We've actually got options. Would like one more in defense (or for Darmian to get a LOT more playing time than I'm guessing he's currently likely to get) just to be safe.

[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.]

From the above, the bolded text above can lead us to believe that he was infact bought (and not loaned to us).
