Sheva set for Milan loan?
Wednesday 29 November, 2006
Chelsea are ready to allow Andriy Shevchenko to rejoin Milan on loan in January, reports in England are suggesting.

The Ukrainian signed for the Stamford Bridge outfit in a £31m move this summer, but has not yet adjusted to his new reality.

He’s scored just three League goals this term and has been heavily criticised by the Press in recent weeks.

According to The Sun newspaper, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is prepared to send the striker back to the San Siro for personal reasons.

Not only is Shevchenko struggling to adjust to the change, but wife Kristin is also believed to be finding life tough in London with their two small children.

Milan would welcome Sheva back with open arms, especially given their attacking problems since he was sacrificed six months ago.

Should the former Dynamo Kiev man leave, Chelsea would ponder making a £21m move for Valencia man David Villa in January.

However, President Juan Soler has claimed that no firm bid has been made and any buyer would have to pay Villa’s £100m buy-out clause.

Shevchenko has been consistently associated with an imminent return to the Rossoneri, even if he has ruled out such a possibility on numerous occasions.

will abramovitch accept that
I'm not sure

It won't happen but I do believe he's struggling to settle in.

I remember Kaladze saying a few weeks ago that he'd spoken to Shevchenko and he wasn't that happy in London.

Loophole blocks Sheva return
Wednesday 29 November, 2006
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.

It won't happen anyway, this loophole is just being used as an excuse.

Shevchenko wants to stay at Chelsea.

Crespo can’t understand why any forward would choose to join Chelsea.

Quote:

The Argentinean failed to hit the heights during his spell at the club and left to join Inter in the summer.

Andriy Shevchenko was brought in from Inter's rivals AC Milan but has so far failed to shine also.

Mateja Kezman and Adrian Mutu also struggled before moving away, and Crespo told The Mirror: "I had a very unhappy experience. The adventure at first was very exciting but things changed.

"Now it is hard to see why a striker who is happy in his country would go there.

"The Premiership is a good league but I and my family are much happier in Italy and we would prefer to stay here now."

Crespo is Inter’s top scorer so far this season with six goals.

The Nerazzurri sit top of the league, four points clear of closest rivals Roma.

Lifestyle...that sums it up. Many players have bitched about this, including Veron and Matrix.

**D-Kin** · 30-11-2006, 09:41 PM

And that's really saying something because players are under more pressure in Italy.

Milan reject Sheva talk
Thursday 30 November, 2006
Milan have denied that they are in talks with Chelsea to bring Andriy Shevchenko back to the San Siro.

The Ukrainian has failed to adapt to life in the Premiership after his £30m move to Chelsea in the summer, fuelling speculation that he could return to the Serie A as early as January on loan.

“Adriano Galliani wishes to make it clear that there have been no negotiations with Chelsea to bring Shevchenko back to our club,” read an official note on the Rossoneri’s website.

The news suggesting Sheva’s return spread on Wednesday, although it seems that the rules limiting the arrival of non-EU players from a foreign club would make a January move impossible.

In the meantime, Shevchenko has reiterated his commitment to Chelsea and his desire to be a success in English football.

“I give 100 per cent all the time – I am committed and hungry for success with Chelsea,” said the player after the win at Bolton on Wednesday.

“I have total respect for the club and fans as well as for football in England and the culture of the country.

“There are always good and bad moments in sport, that’s normal. If that means there is criticism then I respect that,” concluded the former Dinamo Kiev star.

As I thought it's all just paper talk.

Albertini has said that a return to Milan for Shevchenko could upset the balance in the dressing room.
