The correct punishment would be to force David Dein to go without fake tan for a month 
Chelsea signed Shevchenko!!
- Thread starter G-MAN2004

Dont be so confident.Badboy2k3 said:
I wouldnt call ManU strong for a start. So theres 3.
And i doubt any of them would want to face any Spanish or Italian teams. Add to that German teams as well. Dutch teams arnt a pushover either.
This is what makes me laugh.goody_106 said:
Lots of people think that every foreign import into the prem will struggle because of the prems 'physicality'.
Which i find amusing. As they are basically making a sweeping generalisation over the whole of Europe based upon viewing of just LaLiga.
Sheva will fare fine in the EPL, which isnt any more so, probably less than, physically than the Ukrainain league.
If defenders want to try and take him out, then can try. Many have done before, and all have come off worse.

Only scores against the bad teams? Go and get your facts right before you comment.
I'd have put it down to sarcasm but the lack of emoticons makes it hard to judge!
And whats with the 'allways gets injured' jibe?
He's injured at the moment. And before that, i dont recall him getting injured anymore often than Henry or Eto'o.
Infact, he's more likely to play with injury! He scored 4 in the CL against Fenerbache with an injured ankle.

I would have to agree with Badboy2k3, you can't deny that Chelsea's spending has improved the EPL in terms of the top sides in Europe. As its already been said, Man Utd Arsenal and more so Liverpool have up there games and i really do think that the EPL is the strongest league in Europe. And i don't think you can name a better top 4 in Europe that the EPL's.BoomAM said:
Oh and Boom surely its a bit unfair not to clasify ManU as a strong side but include Liverpool and Arsenal; they did finish above both of them (Arsenal by 16 points)
I aint read through most of the replies so if this has been said i apologise but, i hope his reputation doesnt overshadow what he actually does in the PL. Yes hes a fantastic player, and am slightly envious that hes gone to chelski and not man u, but the PL is one of the best leagues in the world and we DO have defenders that can cope with players like him. Even the lesser known defenders will relish playing against him. Not every decent/class striker or any position player at that, that has came to the premiership has set it alight. Only time will tell...
....a good history does not make a good team.... just look at Nottingham Forest

I wouldnt call Real, Barca, Valencia & that wierdly named team a bad top 4.BaZ87 said:
Nor would i call Juve, Milan, Inter & Fiorentina bad either.
The fact is that all the leagues are all pretty well matched in terms of 'whos better'.
I dont classify ManU as a stong side because how bad they did in Europe.

No-one is saying that the teams in La Liga and Serie A are weak.
This is probably the first time in the modern era the 4 strongest teams have played in England, thats all.

4 strongest teams?Gilly said:
Surely you cant honestly belive that the 4 best teams in Europe are English?
The top teams in Europe technically are Barca, Arsenal, Milan & Villareal.
Although, statistically they are Barca, Chelsea, Juve & Milan.

hopefully shevchenko will be just as much a flop as the rest of the big name players that come from italian football
veron, remember the fuss made over him? pfffft

Great signing for Chelsea and I hope Shevchenko does very well and scores 20+ goals a season.
On a side note I do see Barcelona as the strongest side in Europe

Yes he has picked up several injuries in the past couple of seasons, yes his performances have not been as good this season.
Why have Milan sold him, he's 29, if they keep him and he doesnt do it for them after signing another big contract, they have blown their wad, Chelsea have no concept of the word "value" and just picked a figure out of thin air and shoved it in Milans faces.
Milan have been grooming Gilardino to take his place anyway.
Thats it in a nutshell.

The Premier league has four teams stronger than any other league.

As I said when it was first mentioned , its a superb piece of business for Milan.

So who do you belive are the 4 strongest teams in Europe then?Gilly said:
Out of curiosity.
I personally think.
In no order:
Chelsea - Walked the league. nuff said.
Lyon - As above again.
Barca - As above but also won the CL.
Milan - Because Juve havnt beaten us. They did bad in Europe. We didnt. We lost the league very narrowly. Head to head. We are better than them.
Man of Honour
Pretty much what you have, though I might put Arsenal in place of Lyon.
Soldato
Arsenal instead of Lyon?
Odd one that. Each to their own i suppose.
I can sorta see why, but their cup run doesnt really make up for domestic form imo.
Suprised you agreed with the other 3 tbh. Especially a certain team on that list.

To help you out atpbx...
Gila isnt a bad player in himself. In the league, he's more than a match for Sheva, and with more experiance, will more than do the job in Europe as well.
Now all we need to do is persuade Chelsea to let Gallas go, who has agreed to come to Milan, has agreed personal terms, and is dependant on Chelsea letting him go. Its the least they can do really. Our star player for one of theirs.
But considering his performances havnt been as good as his past ones at that he's been injured: 20+ goals in the league and 9 in the CL, including 4 in one game, is hardly bad.atpbx said:
He wanted to go. Silvio agreed with Sheva that he should go if he feels its best for his family.
Exactely.

If its 'just' £24m, then i'd say its bad business. If its over £30m, then i'd agree with you!Vandle said:
