Well han, u would have to forget about the Brazilian national team of 06 ... I'm sure Carlo would stay firm with his tactics, he wont adopt the square ... Maybe swap between R9 and S7 .. Or R10 and R9 or something like that. In which case, he would be able to compete on all 3 fronts and conquer (Hell, give me a team like this and I will breeze through all competitions)



Nope he isn't dumb, and I doubt he would let him leave. But when I read it .. I had to post it.

I really dont want Shevchenko to come back, but the idea of Ronaldo and Shevchenko is just giing me goose bumps.

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

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!

That's exactly what he's become. Some time ago that wasn't the case but right now he plays only for himself!

This is Rivaldo all over again and even worse, I was so disappointed when we signed that guy!!

If we must have Shevchenko back (I'm not sure I like the idea much), can we insist that he leave his scary wife in London? She's the one who wanted the move afterall...

Berlusconi saying he would like Shevchenko back.
"It would be fantastic if he returns."

Porty why did you have to go and show that pic, i almost cried

Even though i dont want him back, but the memories...

i think i need anti depressants.

I want Kaladze to meet his friend again, at Chelsea!!
Who stopped that transfer?? Silvio... I'm coming to getcha!!

strong words there from Kakha!

it's on the Sun so...

Please. Lay off Kaladze, he's not THAT bad.

Maldini/Bonera played the first leg, we let in 3.

Kaladze played the full 90 in the second leg, we didn't concede. Take into account that United had to chase the game for 80 minutes.. They didn't need to do that in the first leg.

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.

And don't just look at numbers. France's defense was much better than Italy's one in the '06 World Cup even if they conceded more. It's not just me, the Italians admitted so themselves!

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.

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!

As for France's defence... well, I think Italians know better than any of us!

Dont know who you've been talking to, but i dont know a single Italian who has said that. Including me.

As for a better defense, statistics speak for themselves.
Prior to the final, 1 goal conceeded, and that was a penalty.
How many did France conceed on the way to the final? .

That's what I've been talking about... a defence is not just the goals conceeded...

I've been talking to Italians who came to Greece.

Surely Sheva would never go to Inter?

P.S. Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere.

If he goes to Inter, I hope he dies. I mean that.

I think he doesn't have the guts...

I wouldn't even care if he went to Inter

He has given me enough surprise to last his whole playing career. But I doubt he would agree to talk to Inter, cuz of Berlusconi being his child's godfather and all.

It's not that. C'mon He won't even consider it. And there no reason to think he ever will. He knows whats that mean.

BTW Sheva scored more goals against Inter than any other team.

I think it could possibly be one of the most shocking moves ever, if he did actually move to Inter, although it not being a direct move.

Still wouldn't top Figo from Barca to Madrid, that still cracks me up.

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.

(Personally, I don't want to see him back. He walked out on the club, kissed the Chelsea jersey, etc etc. Let him rot in London. Or Kiev.)

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.

R9 & Sheva would be a dream come true for me.

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

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!

Yep, I hear Moratti sleeps with his every day of the week

hahahah

That is a fact !!

Well I guess Berlusconi does get his way, some of the time

If Sheva dosent come this year, i dont think he will ever come back, he will play for chelsea for a couple of years then do a beckham and go to USA

Sheva is staying with the Blues.

Link.

Phew!!

That's the way to go Sheva! Keep on fighting!! I'd feel even more betrayed if he had come back to Italy scared and failed... I wish him all the luck, domestically!!

Glade he ain't coming back .. Though the idea of R9 and S7 leading our attack does intrigue me, he is better off at London ... Cuz we need someone hungry for success; Henry is a very good candidate.

I miss the ****ing traitor! Milan miss him... he used to be so classy. He's the greatest forward I've ever seen play besides Ronaldo!

PS I'm not saying I want him back.

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

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.

I wouldnt say chelsea ruined him.. he ruined himself, or his wife did, He fit perfictly in milans squad then moved at 30 and had to change how he played a lil to fit in the squad

Come over to the dark side

I think we are all there

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.]

WTFF


first shitty (I HOPE THIS IS NO NAUGHTY WORD) R10 comes
now
this !!!!!!

I am mad...

Milan is turning into a retirement home, and I#m sick of seeint hsi

IT'S OFFICIAL


WTF?

Ronaldinho is by no means old or sh * tty. He's a great player. We are no retirement home. Look at all the other young players we got this transfer season.

But, Sheva... I have no words on this one.

No? nice olympics performance of his.

Whatever! I'm sorry to have wrote that post, because I was very mad and shocked at this news.

In other words; forever milan (even if it means supporting the alluring R10)
fyi; I was from the beginning against the R10transfer... but oh well

PS: i didnt write that R10 is old.

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.
