Andriy Shevchenko

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I love how everyone was writing him off before the game and during (albeit, poor first half). Go get 'em Sheva!

[Tomo 21,680]

Don't think he was THAT bad for us, only was considered a flop due to the price tag IMO.

Having said that before his long lay off in Avram's season he was starting to look the part then his return at the end of the season he looked impressive too, why on earth was he not brought on in extra time in Moscow and Anelka was? Sheva's CL final experience could have been invaluable.

Given he was starting to show signs off his old self, i believe Scolari should have given him a chance, i still to this day think he would have been a hit if we gave him 08/09.

*waits for everyone to jump on the "sign Shevchenko" bandwagon*

[Spike 12,049]

I'll cry if he wins the Golden Boot.

[DavidLuizFan 23]

Don't get me wrong, he had a great game with the two goals.

He surely would have had a better attitude to a sudden death penalty than Anelka's lazy fucking approach... He'd of buried his for sure.

Sheva was involved in a car crash not long after the Sweden game. Thankfully he & his pregnant girlfriend walked away unhurt. He even stopped to sign autographs afterwards... What a man.

it seems he has slim chances of playing tomorow.

Shevchenko is said to be interested in pursuing a coaching career after he retires, and according to reports in Ukraine, he will be offered a role working with the Chelsea youth team, along with some scouting duties in Eastern Europe.

Considering his terrible time here as a player, I'm not sure why he'd want to come back, but I'd personally love for him to.

Aside from when he played for us, he was one of the best strikers I've seen play. Simple.

Would be amazing to add him to our club again.

[Laylabelle 9,293]

Maybe he'll finally get the hug he looked like he always needed....

Be a bit random to see him back but meh..hopfully work out better then play days

Andriy Shevchenko Announces Retirement

A legendary former Chlesea player has called it quits today. Granted, Andriy Shevchenko hardly lived up to legendary status at Stamford Bridge (apart from in the 'transfer flop' category, perhaps), but he was still once one of the premier strikers in all of Europe, once upon a time, and I still have fond memories of him as a player. I mean, who wasn't pretty pleased with this hit?

Anyway, Sheva's timing was pretty odd -- the 35-year-old, who'd been with Dynamo Kyiv since 2009, announced said retirement during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics. Good work, Sheva. Apparently he's going to go into politics now that his football career is over. After some effort, I've determined the strategy his future campaign managers will use:

Anyone else in Ukrainian politics ever cause that to happen? No, I didn't think so. Book him that seat in Parliament, yo.

PS: I don't think his time at Chelsea was anything like as bad as it's sometimes made out to be. Oh well.

Apparently, he's running for the Ukranian Parliament. Funny, never though he was the political type..

[CHOULO19 24,332]

He has been offered the managerial post of the Ukrainian national team according to their FA president.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

This explains his constant presence at our games:

Sam ‏@daspecial_1

It would appear that Andriy Shevchenko's continual presence at #CFC is because he's doing his coaching badges here with the club.

Not sure if that ignites or puts an end to the rumors that he will be offered some position at the club..

(PS: Why am I the only posting in this thread? Feels weird.)

[EdenHazard 163]

According to Daily Mail, He could be handed a coaching role at the club.
