what does the future hold for shevchenko? (1 Viewer)

[Bozi]

form is temporary, class always shines through
watching him at chesea you can see flashes of sheva of old, but it is obvious he is far from happy, drogba is benefitting from players marking sheva so closely and i honestly doubt that chelsea would let him go. he will hit form soon and if they loan him out they will regret it

Just yesterday I heard on the radio that he's on his way to Newcastle on loan in January. :biggrin:

Suffice to say he's not the Sheva we've known and feared nowadays, but if one were to but take a cursory glance at the numbers his teammate Drogba's been putting up this season, it would be hard to recall the torrid first two years of his Chelsea career, which, was arguably a leaner patch than the one Sheva's having now. Anyhow he's cost too much and had too little time for the verdict to be passed just yet; as it is with many things, time will tell.

Is it done-deal? That would certainly be a career low for Sheva. I think Milan is his likely destination. I wouldnt count out Roma as well though.

Sheva braced for Chelsea departure

Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko has finally admitted he is not suited to the Blues' style of play and could be forced to return to Italy.

The Ukranian moved to Stamford Bridge for £30million from AC Milan in the summer but has failed to show the sort of form which made him one of Europe's deadliest strikers over the last decade.

Shevchenko now admits he could leave London because his game is not suited to the style of Jose Mourinho.

The 30 year-old told the Daily Mirror: "I feel at home at Chelsea, and it's felt like my team for a long time, but unfortunately my game doesn't suit Mourinho.

"Everyone has been writing about me being sent on loan to Milan. I still haven't discussed this question with the management, but the bosses themselves probably still haven't decided.

"But if it happens, I'm ready to pack my bags. I'm a completely self-confident person. If I don't suit somebody then I'll go back to Italy, no problem, and prove how good I can still be.

"I'm not finished as a player. On the other hand, I have nothing to prove to anybody. Everybody already knows what Andriy Shevchenko is capable of."

Shevchenko was signed by Chelsea's billionaire owner Roman Abramovich after the Russian finally persuaded AC Milan to sell.

"Roman is my friend and completely on my side," admits Shevchenko.

"But all he could do was insist on a loan deal instead of me being sold.

"I do understand Mourinho - I'm not scoring as many as I would like to - so even Abramovich isn't really putting his foot down over it, although he could do as the owner of the club. Of course I will be sorry to leave London if it comes to that. Firstly because of my family, who have already made a new life here.

"My wife Kristen was so happy with the move - she's American and finally found herself in an English-speaking country. It's clear I won't move Kristen and our sons back to Milan."

A poll was Voted at Goal.com about if Sheva should return to Milan and the result were as follows:

56,57% Yes, Chelsea Was A Bad Choice Anyways

22,22% No, He Should Stay At Chelsea

12,12% No, But He Should Switch Club

9,09% One Should Never Look Back In Football

Shevchenko, 30, joined the Premiership champions from AC Milan for £30.8 million in May. He has been linked with a possible return to Milan, reports today quoting him as saying that his style of play did not suit Mourinho, and that he was "ready to pack his bags" and go back to Italy if he did not fit in.

However, Chelsea have insisted in a statement that his comments were misinterpreted.

Shevchenko said he had not discussed his future with the club.

Chelsea's Russian owner Abramovich was instrumental in Shevchenko going to Stamford Bridge, where he is on a four-year contract. The popular belief was that Shevchenko's goals and experience would help Chelsea win the Champions League.

The Ukraine international is revered as a hero in Milan, where the Rossoneri have clearly missed his talents so far this season.

In the Premiership, however, he has so far struggled to reach his best form.

Shevchenko himself has now clarified the situation, insisting that he has given only one interview in recent weeks to a Russian magazine called ProSport, and reiterating his commitment to Chelsea.

"I give 100 per cent all the time and I am committed and hungry for success with Chelsea," he said.

"I have total respect for the Chelsea club and fans as well as for football in England and the culture of the country.

"There are always good and not so good moments in sport, that's normal. If that means there is opinion and criticism, I respect that."

In the ProSport interview, Shevchenko admitted that he was unhappy with his start at Chelsea, but denied struggling to adapt to the demands of English football.

First order of business: Sheva needs to bitch slap his wife for convincing him to move to London to begin with.

at least he has some useful ammunition for their next big argument :eyebrows:

 

[swag]

OK, I stand corrected. First he should try to take off the dog collar and restraining choker, and then put some pants on and walk upright like a real man around the house.

 

[Eddy]

Allright, he is.

 

[ahmad193]

either way.. he's too old to go back now...

but u could still argue that milan LOVE older players

 

[HelterSkelter]

Isnt there a rule that says that you cannot move back to the club you left less than 6 months after your departure?

Berlusconi blasts ‘puppy’ Sheva

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi has hit out at Andriy Shevchenko for joining Chelsea. “He’s his wife’s puppy,” he stated.

The striker left the San Siro for £31m in the summer after admitting that his partner was eager to live in an English-speaking country and wanted their children to attend English schools.

“He did not behave manly,” amazingly declared the former Italian Prime Minister. “Shevchenko is his wife’s puppy.

“A real Milanista and a real man would have never behaved this way. In my home I am the one who takes decisions and rules.

“But when Sheva’s wife calls him and sends him under the bed, he obeys just like a puppy,” added the media mogul.

Seriously, I was kidding about the "dog collar" line in my last post here above.

Berlusconi attacks 'lap-dog' Shevchenko

AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has launched a scathing personal attack on Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko.

The Ukrainian has struggled to make an impact since his £30million move from the San Siro and the former Italy Prime Minister has chosen to take a public view on Shevchenko's private life - describing him as a 'lap-dog' for his supermodel wife.

Berlusconi, who recently appeared to be considering trying to attract 30-year-old Shevchenko back to Milan on loan, has cut short that charm offensive.

'A true Milanista and a real man would not have behaved like this,' he told Gazzetto dello Sport.

'At my home I'm in charge and decide what happens. Instead, when Shevchenko's wife shouts, he runs under the bed like a lap-dog.

'His wife ordered him to London with their children, where the fog will do their lungs the world of good.'
