Andrei Shevchenko’s Milan Move Collapses
Now, far be it from the Beat to stick its nose into other people's affairs, but we think we've got a pretty good idea why Andrei Shevchenko's transfer from Chelsea to AC Milan has collapsed. Hmmm, let us think for a moment…. Could it be that Milan got hold of some tapes of Sheva in action for Chelsea and realised that he's actually rubbish?
It's the most likely explanation. Shevchenko was superb in his first stint as a Milan player, but as soon as he signed for Chelsea, he seemed to lose every ounce of his ability. Almost overnight. Suddenly he was slow, he was old, he was unfit. He couldn't control the ball. He couldn't pass. He couldn't run. And he cost an absolute fortune. Pound for pound, he's got to be one of the worst Premier League signings of all time.
To some at the San Siro, he's clearly still revered as some sort of footballing legend and a return to Milan looked on the cards. Until now. Apparently, Chelsea have changed their minds about loaning the knackered old striker out for a season, and want to sell him permanently. Can't blame them, somehow…
