Sheva is not for sale

[Milan 17,835]

AC Milan have ended their pursuit of former San Siro favourite Andriy Shevchenko after accepting Chelsea have no intention to sell.

The Ukrainian arrived at Stamford Bridge two summers ago replete with a reputation for being one of the world's finest strikers, but his time in West London has been one of underachievement.

Shevchenko struggled to convince either Jose Mourinho or Avram Grant he was worthy of a regular start, with Milan persistently linked with bringing home a favourite son.

Again at the end of last season murmurs came out of the Serie A giants that suggested a bid was being readied but Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani admits any plans for an approach have now been shelved.

Luiz Felipe Scolari is thought to be keen to have the player at his disposal next term and Galliani has no intention of upsetting the Chelsea hierarchy by discussing a player under contract in the capital.

"He's not for sale," said Galliani.

"I've asked officially and (Roman) Abramovich said no. So we must be serious and disciplined.

"Should a club say no, we must accept. It means we have to think of something else."

Hope this season turns around for him

I think this style of football Scolari intends on playing may well suit his game.

Lets hope so.

Sheva seems to have lost his pace. But man his he good at getting those rebound goals in the net....

He may have lost his pace but he has still got those deadly instincts, as you say. This season is a big one for him.

Think Sheva will be our dark horse this season. Goal early doors could be the start of a big season for him.

I hope anyway

He got an early goal when he first signed

I'd love to see him get back in the groove. Theres no doubting he still has the talent to turn things around at Chelsea.

No i dont like him anelka is better anyway.

Sheva is no good. He is still half a yard off pace. May as well cash in for him if we can. Unfortunatly I dont think this season will turn for him

Bad move if you ask me. Shevchenko is now like 31/32 and as he has been crap for us since he arrived, I doubt he will get any better for us.
