Well, no it isnt.
He's had an extended run in the team, has been ineffective as a starter and a sub, he has scored bugger all goals in a shed load of appearences and his overall play is somewhat akin to Emile Heskey with a severe groin injury.
Don't "obviously" me, the fact that someone's awesome in one league doesn't mean that they are gonna be awesome in another. Just look at Henry, Kalle Riedle, Sean Dundee, Diego Forlan, Nando Morientes, Kezman, Veron, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on and on. Only time will tell. Besides, its only an inkling. But don't "obviously" me.

Henry??

Hardly rubbish, he was a young age, new to the Italian league and played on left wing!
Hardly worthy of criticism though.
To be fair, Henry only had one season at Juve and was then sold for a fee in excess of ten million pounds. I still reckon he could perform in Italy given a decent run, I mean look at the way he's annihilated teams like Inter, Roma, Juve etc in the Champions League over the last few seasons.
Morientes has flopped, which leaves me somewhat baffled to be honest - I thought he was a very good player.
I don't think Shevchenko will flop if he comes to England, because he has arguably been one of the top3 forwards in the world in recent years. He should have at least 2 more years playing at a high level left in him.

Thierry Henry was played on the left wing at Juventus and most of his games came from the bench........
I think he made 16 appearences for Juventus on the left wing, about 10 or so of them coming from the bench and yet he managed to score 3 goals.. considering his age and the circumstances I'd hardly say that was awful..
If Henry went to Italy, Spain or anywhere he'd rip it apart. He is the best striker in the world.
As for Chelsea getting Shevchenko, heh, they might as well put the bubbly on ice..

I'm sure Crespo won't be there next season, he admitted to wanting to leave and the wise thing to do would p/x for Shevch..
Soldato
Hmm my only fear is that they buy these two good players and they end up like Real Madrid, all the big names but not wining a lot.
That team would more than likely get destroyed by teams in the same league. Not having any wideplayers is just asking for trouble. They'd be blocked out through the middle (they probably wouldn't have won the league without Joe Cole this season!) and Ferreira and Carlos are hardly likely to deal with balls over the top. Essien is all over the place defensively and Makalele is a bit of a lightweight if you ask me.ballistic said:hmm what would be their team
--------Chech--------
Ferreira Terry Carvalho Carlos
-----Makalele Essien------
----Ballack Lampard---------------
-----Crespo Shevchenko ----------
Whilst individually talented throughout that 11, that team wouldn't be as strong as it could be with some changes.

No need for the arrogance/tetchiness
Morientes was just used as an example of a great player who came to the prem and was utter tosh,there are plenty more examples.How good they are/were in relation to Scheva is irrelevant to the argument
