the wes 7,212 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 ANDRIY SHEVCHENKO returns to London this week insisting: “I was not a flop at Chelsea.” #bodycopy a { font-size: 12px; } The Ukraine striker faces England at Wembley admitting his two seasons at Stamford Bridge were “difficult”. But Sheva added: “People who think I was a flop at Chelsea are wrong. Yes, they were two difficult years but you will see the return of the hitman at Milan. “I have had to become a real player again but in the future I will completely regain my prowess.” Shevchenko has yet to back up his words with deeds – he is without a goal in Serie A since returning to AC Milan. But his club boss Carlo Ancelotti still claims to have faith in him and believes Chelsea didn’t play him in his proper position often enough. Ancelotti said: “Chelsea play with one striker and two wingers. Andriy was not going to replace Didier Drogba and he is not a winger. “He is one of the best strikers in the world – that’s why Chelsea paid the money they did for him in the first place – but it didn’t work out.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskoviolente 425 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I think Andrey is a topclass striker. If he would´ve come to Chelsea one year earlier.... well, i hope he gets back on track. it is a shame that he has wasted two years of his carreer...

SuperSheva7 0 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I don't think he was a complete flop either. He scored a couple of important goals for us, got into the double digits his first season too. Will always be my favorite player, I hope things go well for him at Milan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 He certainly wasn't a flop. Never got a proper run in the team and whenever he showed some form he got injured. Had no luck at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wes 7,212 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 AC Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko expects to return to parent club Chelsea at the end of the season. "I don't regret anything," he said. "I needed to refresh myself physically and that's what I've done at Milan. "I haven't been used but I have made myself available. When I returned I said that I would have accepted anything. "I knew no-one would do me any favours, and I knew that I would be the last striker in the team. "I'll behave as a professional until the end, then I'll return to London. "I'll live in London but I don't know where football will take me next season. I'll speak to Chelsea and we'll make a decision. "I have confidence in myself." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajo 176 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 There is no place for him at SB . We waste enough money for his transfer and payment. He should already start looking for new club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Is he not playing for Milan then? Regardless, he's really no good to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5354 204 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Seriously, if he was still with us this season, will Chelsea or him be much better off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogba11CFC 108 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Well, he's only on loan in FM09... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 So it was loan deal then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I had a feeling it was only a loan. I want him back tbh, especially now we're playing this system where the strikers are interchangeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would as well, though he was given more than a few chances.

Manson17 0 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Sheva was, and maybe still is one of my favourite strikers ever. I remember my very first game I went to see was Milan VS some turkish team. Shevchenko scored 2 goals. He's one of the great strikers, and I want to see him back at Chelsea if it is at least for one more season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I think it wasn´t of a lack of confidence it did´t worked out. The gaffers didn´t really trusted him to be a good footballer, i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessman 9 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I love Sheva, and I'd love to see him back at the club, I feel really bad for him, he was pure class back in the day, and when we got him, he was shot down, I hope we do get him back and he gets some serious game time.
