Sheva leaving Milan: destination Chelsea

milan offered extension to sheva untill 2011

Mourinho: "it would appeal to to Us to carry Shevchenko to London, but he is a player of the Milan, with which it is legacy from a pluriennale contract. My feeling is that it will remain in Italy ".

sheva has been offered a new contract. I have to go study for exames now, I hope when im back in the evening everything will be solved in our favor.

Well... a 5 years contract for a 30 years old forward is a bit excessive...

Now that his wishes are being fulfilled (of an extension), ur saying its too much for 30 year old. You cannot clap with just one hand, mate If you want the player to respect the club, then the club has to respect the player. We know that sheva's decline will start in 3 years so he has to secure his fututre after those three years with a good club. Besides, we want him to be a milan legend right?

Yes, you made a good point.

This is very easy to do when it is Brocchi or Dhorasso who want to go away.

But here we are talking about one of the best players in the world with nobody else on the market to replace him.

That's a little bit different

Anyone more conviced that sheva will stay now and sign

before today i would say chances of him staying are 25% ... now i think its 50% alot of things have happened these two days

Sorry, but it's the goals that count. I thought that's why Inzaghi got called up to the national squad.

p.s.: Of course, saying that he is the replacement for Sheva is a joke.

I know...

Crespo has been good for us.
However, do not forget that he had tremendous assistance from Sheva and Kaka in those CL final goals. His understanding with Sheva was great.
If Sheva goes ... Crespo if he is brough back will need to understand Kaka and Gila. I think it might be possibly good. I take my words back.
If Sheva goes, if ..., bring in Crespo to play with Gila. And let Gila score an easy "lay-up" (PK?) in a CL match.

.

I never rated Crespo badly (I said "do not to bring him back" since we have 2 great forwards already). He is a good striker. I am sure we will notice him at the WC. Argentina has a good chance to get far!

BTW, how old is Crespo?

well, galliani braida and berlusconi have all said they will not sell him (which means alot when all 3 say so, atleast i think silvio said so but the other 2 definatly did), mourinho said its difficult to get sheva since hes under contract at milan and he said they want to keep drogba because he wants him, and eventhough theyre just words they certainly give a better hope of him staying. also, henry's desire to stay with arsenal and what his reasons for it might change sheva's thinking...

im not saying hes staying, but things do sound alot better for us, we almost guarenteed gallas, we might end up ripping them off by getting gallas and not handing them sheva, which i was hoping for when he made his announcement

Crespo is nearly 31, to old i say i want a forward at least under 28

I may agree with the sentiment Milan Mad, but lets look at this: How many, first class forwards, are going to want to join Milan and be 3rd choice, or 4th choice striker?

Not many I would wager.

This is the dilemma we face when we try to bring in younger attacking players. Sheva and Pippo may be our starting forwards, with Gila spelling both...then Amoroso for back up....I think we are fine this way, unless Sheva does indeed depart..

More and more though I am thinking that he will stay...why? Gut feeling...and its not diahorrea!
