The return of Sheva?

sigh, I just wish we could just move on. If this goes down, I won't be flying over the moon nor will I be skeptical. Sheva's return, if it happens, will be like a movie sequel; it rarely lives up to the first movie.

I watched the Man U-Chelsea game and I didn't even recognize the guy in blue wearing #7. He looked hopelessly lost, like a bicyclist trying to keep up with the pace on the Autobahn. As a matter of fact it's been the case all season for him, so far. Sure Sheva's presence allows much room for Drogba, who at the moment is taking full advantage of this freedom. But eventually the Premiership sides will starting keying on Drogba more. How Sheva reacts to that will tell us whether this rumor will eventually become true. If Sheva starts scoring (which i know he'll do, he's too darn good) then we Milan fans can all finally get on with it.

That isn't wrong, Sheva is not a new arrival, an old and known one if it were to happen.

If that's not betrayal I don't know what is.



Amen

Yes, he wants to be back in Milan to become Maldini or Baresi, let's discuss a new deal for him, new wage, new shirt number and new terms.

Sheva, you'd better forget about BP 30m transfer fee, BP130K wage per week and number 7.

I wonder what you guys would do on his place. It is very easy to judge, however being in that situation is a lot more difficult. A lil bit of respect for him would be nice...at least because he ve spent 7 years with AC Milan and scored many goals for us...

I LOVE SHEVCHENKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then what?

Seems you didn't hear me.
It will not happen.

Loophole blocks Sheva return
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andriy Shevchenko cannot complete a loan comeback to Milan in January due to a legal loophole on non-EU players.

Newspapers in England are today insisting that the Chelsea star is so unhappy at Stamford Bridge that he is in negotiations for a shock return to San Siro mid-season.


However, the rules limiting the arrival of non-EU players from a foreign club would make this impossible, as the Rossoneri have already filled their quota with Ricardo Oliveira’s switch from Real Betis Sevilla.


If Shevchenko were to come back to Serie A, it would have to be in the summer, when another non-EU place opens up.


There is another alternative, one already used by Juventus when they brought in Adrian Mutu following his contract termination with Chelsea.


If another Serie A side with a free non-EU place signs the player, then turns him over to the larger club, this gets around the regulations.


Yet this would be very tricky to complete in a purely loan deal, so Chelsea would have to sell Shevchenko to another side in order to then send him forward to the Rossoneri.


The Ukrainian and former European Player of the Year moved to Chelsea for around £30m in the summer.

hmm, offer me the chance to get Sheva back a few weeks ago and I was prepared to put aside what happened in the last half year and accept him back. However, this was because at the time I felt he could offer an aspect to our game that we desperately needed.

However, since then I've changed my mind. I've changed my mind because I've seen a big improvement in our play and suddenly there finally seems to be a little light in the tunnel. Oliveira is finally looking like a player who'll actually play an important part in the team, and more importantly Gourcuff has added a massive spark to the play, which has improved our play greatly as others are starting to perform.

Personally, I'd rather not have Sheva back now, simply because he moved on and we need to move on too imo.

i think somebody has already said but if sheva came to MIlan again he would eventually have to go back to chelsea because abramovic wants him to go back and play better next season so imo we would be plugging a hole unless Gila,Pippo and Oleveira start scoring some goals.

From what I could understand today on la gazzetta and calciomercato is that sheva would be sent back to milan not as a non-EU player, and that is why the deal would go through. Could someone clear this up for me. It would be greatly appreciated. I think we could definitely use him at this moment. Oliveira has played well of late and so has gourcuff, but gilardino and inzaghi are not pulling their weight. Pippo is old now, and is really best served to be a super sub. Him starting one out of every 4 games and coming on as sub the last 20 mins or so, greatly increases his effectiveness. As for Gila, well that is the 25 million dollar question. He does some good work, moves pretty well without the goal, but he was bought to score and he hasn't played well since March, so questions have to be asked. He was supposed to be the best italian fwd to come onto the scene in quite a while, but he is turning into a Casiraghi, who was a useful player but not a fwd. Sheva has many fences to mend in Milan. Seems Gattuso and Maldini are pissed with him, in addition to Ancelotti, but he does have his supporters at the san siro. I believe that if he came back, he would be the best alternative out there. Looking back on it, I think sheva is one of those players whose mood you could tell by the way he played. If things were going well in his personal life, he was unstoppable, when they weren't (remember late 01-to early 03) he was below par. Weren't there rumors at the time that a woman was toying with his head? Same is happening here in London. He is not settled, his teammates didn't embrace him with open arms like in Milan, and being that he is not the strongest person mentally, he is suffering. Sorry for the whole psychologist talk but I honestly believe that he may be 30 but if he came in Jan, he could easily score 10 goals in serie A. He would be a massive addition. I also don't think that he would want to go back to Chelsea, and if things go well, we won't lose face again. We would keep up and pay Chelsea. Once he comes back to Milan, he won't leave. I just wonder now what number he would wear?

No Sheva Pls.. He leave for 4 $ or for his family or wat ever , leave us with his history with us. We just have to move on. I dont think that he will be still the same player when he back.

savage mau, you may be right in terms of him not being the same player, but he is better than any available alternative out there. I am sure he will rediscover his scoring form once back in milan. He nearly scored a 30 meter shot last night against Bolton, so with the right players around him, I am sure he can rediscover his scoring form. I can't really see better available fwds out there. Iaquinta? Suazo? Pandev? Ronaldo? Cassano?Budan?Palacios? Higuain? Some are younger but in my opinion sheva offers more guarantees than all of those mentioned. Now if you tell me that Samuel Etoo is available, then I would tell you to get him in a heartbeat, but he is not. Sheva's memories will live on no matter what. I was upset and angry when he left, but in some instances, everyone is better off when you forgive and forget.

ramo23, nice of you to point this out to us. you are right. Shevchenko spent 7 years in Milan and because of that (7 years working in Italy) he had the right to apply for Italian citizenship. If he did, he would be a citizen of both Italy and the Ukraine and as we all know, Italy is in the EU.....
