I think it is more than just adjusting his life in London. I have always felt Sheva's bread & butter was his movement. He had that fantastic movement and a knack for breaking opposition's off-side trap. I have never seen a player who does that more efficiently than Sheva. You don't need Pippo Inzaghi caught off zillion times to appreciate that.

Having watched Man U and Chelsky, I just don't think EPL allows type of game whereby good players can roam inside a middle and provide that killer pass to the strikers. I don't the name of that hight show but I thought Leo was spot on in pointing out that Chelsea doesnt have players like Kaka who provides the services for attackers to really go at. It made me laugh when British commentators was talking about playing more wingers to feed in crosses for Sheva to attack. He is a striker all right. But he isnt a British type that feeds on crosses. Obviously they havent seen enough Serie A matches before. No disrespect to Lampard but he is no Kaka, and because the pace in England is so more frantic it is just hard for skilled players to get hold of ball in the middle and start dictating the tempo. A likes of Ivan Campo will be all over you before you know it. Pirlo would get absolutely killed the way EPL teams play their matches.

    Anyone remember Crespo?

    He'll be loaned to Milan in January, have a good second half of the season. He'll ask to be sold by Chelsea, they block his transfer. He'll be loaned to Inter next season then afterwards Cheslea agree to sell him and Juve buy him.

    Oddo Barzagli Mexes Chiellini

    No, it was not that, I couldn't come up with a keeper so I chose Dida for the simplicity of his name :p

    Shevchenko will stay in London because apart from the football side he is meant to be pals with Abramovic. Chelsea will buy another striker in Jan and Shev may then leave in the summer. Doubt he'll go back to Milan some how.

    it would be quite ridicilous to join milan, cant see him joining any other italian club though, just wouldnt believe he would play with the other milan team. And i wonder what the fans might feel or react against him if he would rejoin milan.
    And wasnt the real reason shevas troubles with ancelotti.

    i think spanish liga might suit him more than epl, although the top "guns" in spain really dont need a striker even if as good as sheva is.

    a move back to ukraine and his former club would be quite nice gesture, although he wouldnt have much chanses in europe to succeed then.

    well it sounds very easy and it "can be also easy" but i find it a bit cheap, i mean like a man leaves his husband and crushes his marriage with some prostitute and then comes back and hopes that everything will be like before....

    like: look i hoped i will succeed, i f-cked up, please let me back in.

    If i was to put money on where he will end up i would probably go for Barca. League which will suit him, can afford his wages and their only good striker is eto.

    theres a reason they only have one good striker and that because they play so many offensive midfielders. deco , messi, ronnie. so all they need is one good striker.

    Yeah but they are probably only a keeper and another top striker away from being virtually untouchable in Europe. Even with the quality of midfield they have I still think Gudjohnson isn't good enough as a second choice striker for a club that good.
