ANDRIY SHEVCHENKO

Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko is on the verge of a return to Milan according to the Serie A club’s director Silvano Rammaccioni. Abramovich and Berlusconi are reported to have negotiated the deal in Sardinia last week. The move looks likely to be an initial one-year loan, which would almost certainly continue and end the Ukrainian’s stay at Stamford Bridge.

"Shevchenko in the Rossoneri shirt? There really isn't much more to be done," Ramaccioni told Italian radio station “Radio Goal".

"We are close to the end of the deal and I hope that these little things that have to be fulfilled are done as soon as possible.

"I would be extremely delighted if Shevchenko returns to Milan and I am ready to embrace the Ukraine champion again, for us it's about a return home."

Chelsea fans will have mixed reactions If the move takes place; some will say “Good riddance!” whilst others will feel cheated that we never benefited from the true services of one of the greatest strikers on the football planet. 

Shevchenko himself recently confessed that he has been crocked for the last two seasons – since he first signed to play at Stamford Bridge.  Who knows…we may have finally seen the real Shevchenko if at last he really is about to become fully fit? 

Chelsea and oppo fans alike will say that we have become a laughing stock paying out 30M quid for a player that only gave us flashes of his former self.  That would be quite true if our medical staff missed anything (if he had a medical at all?!) - if that’s not the case then who could blame us – in fact, WHO did blame us at the time with regard to the size of Shevchenko´s transfer fee? 

I have extreme doubts that Sheva would leave with "unfinished business" still left to do and the player as god as said so only a few weeks ago.  I doubt that even the club want to see him go unless of course there is a very attractive silver lining in this particular cloud – that the deal signals a secret agreement between Chelsea and Milan to bring Kaka to the Bridge – either this season or the next.

Seems such a shame

Remember the 4-4 against Villa last season.. his best game EVER and then he disappeared... till the point saving header off the line.

Cheers Sheva!!!

Well there have been rumblings - but then Sheva came out just 2 weeks ago and said he wants to help us make history - this is why I´m surprised by these supposed developments.

Something has changed - maybe it does have something to do with an agreement between us and Milan and "other matters"???

I just think a player of his calibre has basically wasted two years of his career and it isn't his fault.

(Legend at AC, legend for Ukraine and is because of his name and reputation a legend at Chelsea)
