Winter Mercato

I read this in a norwegian newspaper this morning:

According to Dinamo Kiev's homepage their boss Igor Surkis wants to loan Shevchenko from Chelsea. They are prepared to pay his high wages, but tells Chelsea that they can forget to get back the transfer-fee that they paid to Milan.

For those of you who understand norwegian, here's the link ( ) :

On Shevchenko, hes a fool for leaving a side that uses 3 playmakers and two fullbacks all looking to feed the ball into him. To make him even more foolish he chooses Chelsea where he becomes the biggest playmaker. I have never seen a team with so many greedy farts in my life. Everyone of them either runs or shoots except Makalele who cant pass further than 15 yards anyway.

If Shevchenko shows the heart he did at Milan then he will recover from his dip in the same way Figo recovered. The only questions are will he keep trying>>Yes hes still got that ego that will drive him. Also will he get the ball>>Hell no, Chelsea is the only big team in Europe without a creative playmaker who looks for movement up front.

yes yes yes I'm enjoying every minute of $heva's downfall

but still, I'd be happy to welcome him in FK Sarajevo

On Huntelaar, I agree with Jim.

If Gila turns into a 24 goal machine then great, who needs a new striker other than Pato. But if he doesnt, then Huntelaar looks the next best option for a pure goal getter. We should only sign him next summer or even later and only if Gila doesnt start performing. I think hes also becoming frustrated about not stealing more headlines.

As Jim said there is no guarantee Huntelaar will fail or succeed, but it doesnt mean we should to persist with Gila forever.

If Huntelaar don´t score more than 20 goals for season you guys will gonna blame him like did with Gilardino and Ricardo Oliveira.

Anyway, I agree that Huntelaar is amazing player. I prefer him than 100 Henrys.

LOL, probably because Henry aint Brazillion? Let him remain consistent for 8 years in top flight football then fair enough.

Huntelaar is a great player and there is no denying that, but there are too many clubs after him and IMO he's more likely to be another Gilla type of player.

Brazillion? Does that before or after Quadrillion ?

Huntelaa will not come to Milan this year as noone will come to Milan this year becouse our mercato is now closed. We have superstrong team, mostly for CL kind of football, for serie a Im not so sure we have enough depht at the back and up front.

Im also sure Hunt isnt Juve's player right now as in mercato moves anything can change with few milions, and If Gila really, really fails to show something or Pippo gets badly injured next year we might end uip with Huntelaar. But that is way to futuristic to talk about it now.

sheva back to milan via Empoli. Now that would be some nice news this morning

What i dont get is that Chelsea were willing to lose loads on Mutu, kezman.. but why not sheva?

Anymore news on Chiellini?

So Ronaldo's putting on weight but it isn't his fault and apparently he's going to start taking pills to counter-act this

As for Shevchenko, how many more 'troubled' strikers do we need? No thanks, that boat has sailed.

Jim, from what I read on gazzetta's first page, Ronaldo is not putting on weight as he's been training well at Milan ... what the Milan medics have discovered is that he has a tendency to put on weight due to a problem with the thyroid glands or whatever.
They expect that the training will put him in good shape, while medication will keep that tendency under control.

this article:
http://www.tgcom.mediaset.it/sport/a...lo376444.shtml

claims that eventhough he had surprised everyone on his return from Brazil where he had been following a special training regime all summer under the guidance of Tognacini (the prep. coach), Ronaldo has lost 5 kg since he came back from Brazil to Milanello thanks to a new diet(combined with medications) he was put on immediately after his thyroid problem was discovered during his first tests after his arrival from Brazil.

They also say that the respective Antidoping commettees have been notified of his taking these new medications, so that there aren't any problems from that aspect.

not sure how true that is but that's basically what it says on his weight-related problems.

Well i read something that said he was putting on weight, so i guess a bad translation.

But he's still taking pills for his thyroid problem.

There are signs that Abramovich is tired of throwing money at Chelsea:

1. They haven't spent anywhere close the amounts of last year and the year before.

2. They don't sell Shevchenko because all the deals offered were nowhere near their asking-price.

3. They've sold Robben to get some money.

4. They didn't meet Sevilla's asking-price for Alves, which they normally would do, and signed a cheap Belletti instead.
