Milan and Chelsea to begin Sheva talks
Friday May 26 2006

AC Milan have accepted Andriy Shevchenko's request to leave the club but have warned Chelsea they must break the bank to land the 29-year-old Ukrainian international forward.

Shevchenko appeared alongside AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani at the club's offices in Via Turati in downtown Milan at a hastily arranged press conference to announce his decision on Friday afternoon.

Shevchenko said: "I am leaving for family reasons - I want to thank the club for everything it's given to me. There's no problems regarding my relationship with anyone in the club or any financial problems."

Galliani, in day to day control of the club owned by former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, said: "It's a victory of the English language over the Italian language."

That was apparently a reference to Shevchenko's American wife who reportedly wants a move to England.

"I've tried to convince him to stay - even one minute prior to the press conference," continued Galliani.

"This is certainly the most painful divorce since I have been at Milan and from now on we will begin negotiations with Chelsea and it will not be easy.

========================================

He hasnt even signed yet, this is in the wrong part of the forum and its got nothing to do with Liverpool??

If they do get him they will become a lot stronger. In actual fact a prolific striker up front is something they have lacked since Hassailbank.

We need to step up aswell and im sure Rafa is already on the case.

since we are challenging (hopefully) in the coming season for the EPL crown i would think that how much the back-2-back winners of it are strenghtening DOES concern the would be challengers.

R u mad?? Once they hold a press conference to say he's leaving(and they mention the name of the club interested) it 99.9% sure he'll join chelski. :angry:

lol ignore him redsince 2001. Im sure Rafa wont let us down. I just hope that the investment sage will come to an end soon and an announcment will be made soon,.

How did Benitez win the league in Spain with Valencia against the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid, two teams that had more money and more big names? [particulary Madrid]

Chelsea to open Shevchenko talks

Shevchenko scored 19 goals in Serie A last season
AC Milan will hold talks with Chelsea after Andriy Shevchenko confirmed he will leave the Italian club.
Shevchenko, 29, met with Milan vice president Adriano Galliani on Friday to discuss his future and afterwards said: "I'm leaving for family reasons.

"It wasn't a problem of relations and there is no economic problem."

Galliani said: "This is certainly the most painful divorce since I have been at Milan. We will begin negotiations with Chelsea and it will not be easy."

Shevchenko has an American wife and it is understood that they want their son Jordan to learn English.

My wish is that the club can evaluate my transfer

Andriy Shevchenko

Galliani, who is in charge of the day-to-day operations at Milan added: "It's a victory of the English language over the Italian language.

"I've tried to convince him to stay - even one minute prior to the press conference.

Milan offered Shevchenko a contract extension until 2011.

"My wish is that the club can evaluate my transfer," added the Ukraine international.

"Of course I am saddened because I have seen the looks on the faces of the fans and because of the many messages I have received."

Shevchenko's wife, Kristen Pazak, is understood to be friends with the partner of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

"My wife has nothing to do with this," said the striker. "We decided together for the best interests of our family.

"I don't speak English, my wife does not speak Ukrainian - the only language we have in common at the moment is Italian.

"The only way to be able to teach our children our love that we have for them is the English language."

Shevchenko joined Milan from Dynamo Kiev in 1999 and is the second highest scorer in the club's behind Gunnar Nordahl with 173 goals.

He scored 19 goals in 28 Serie A matches last season and he also netted nine goals in the Champions League.

Shevchenko will captain Ukraine at the World Cup finals in Germany this summer.

everybody has known for weeks that shevchenko is going to chelsea. the weird thing is how you're the last to hear about it but think you're the first and think that it should be in this section and think we give a flying fuck.

we'll just play better football than them.... again.

That's true.......but remember the one of that the Real Madrid team at that time (and still) wasn't a TEAM but a group of superbly gifted footballers. Sure they won the Champions League at that time ,but the team's faults can be covered in abt 10 to 12 matches but it isn't the case in the domestic league where the TEAM's faults are exposed during the course of the season.....i doubt whether he would hav had the same success if a well composed (and with lots of $$)team such as the present Barca would hav been playing in the spanish league at that time.

Anyway i hav complete faith in him.....

I'm only saying that it just got that much harder...

But u know wat they say,

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GET GOING

and Rafa is tough.

But it's still so unfair with chelski
:veryangry

what is it now 450m spend in the last 4 seasons
at this rate why not buy the league....?

all the HELLO threads are fine but a thread concerning a major and probably record breaking aquisition by our rivals who we will have to compete against is pointless......seems to me that your the Dickh*ad here mate!

Knock it off, I've moved the thread, no harm done.

Stop the insults and just discuss the topic or I'll lock the fucker and everybody loses then.
