Shevchenko Returns to milan

Major debate is going on around Italy on what number Sheva will take. He said he would be ok with 70, 77 or 76 just as long as there's a seven, whilst other reports say he might get the #7 jersey from Pato.

I am still one of Sheva's fan and I support this move to the very end, HOWEVER, if this means he will take the #7 away from Pato then I am against it 100%. Marketing or no marketing, if Ronaldinho was not given his #10, then Pato should not give his #7. I will get very pissed off if I hear Sheva is going to get his #7 back.

btw - does any one know if Boriello took the #11 jersey? and what did Zambrotta take? (I hope he took #2)

In all preseason games Zambrotta wear #15 and for Sheva #77 will be good nr. But i think when Pippo ends his carieer Pato will take his nr.9

OK i find it:

MILAN - These, so far, are the official shirt numbers of the Rossoneri's first team, including the two young Uruguay footballers who on Monday became Milan players:

These players have left so their numbers are available to.
Although except maybe nr 2 all the other probably won't get asked. Although isn't 43 Emersons birth year?

It is true

What's up with this whole birth year number thing: Sheva- 76, Dinho- 80, and now Flamini- 84? I prefer the old school 1-20 numbers.

I suppose Milan is always the trend maker ?

sheva gave an interview in a greek paper that is published today..

i think the most interesting thing he said was about the fans
"i know that some fans feel weird about my come back,but i will say only one thing:i ll do whatever i can to win them back.And i refer to all these that may feel hurt.I am here and i want to correct everything.."

He also said that the real reason he did not do well(in england) was because he went through 2 surgeries(injuries)..But now he feels okay although he needs some time ajust agian..And finally he said he missed acmilan,serie a,san siro,hes friends-playmates..


ps its a hole interview,and these were my favourirte points..

Ladies & Gentlemen - I am inviting you to fill out this less-than-5-minute survey for me. This is just a pilot study (i.e., not used for any commercial or publication purpose) that I am doing for my class.

If you are a student (and never have any work experiences), please do not fill this out! If you are a student but have some kinds of work experiences, please help! I truly appreciate your response.
