Shevchenko is a waste of Money! Chelsea

because they are friends, mourinho will be forced to play 2 strikers or risking upsetting the boss

zocoss SG

After watching last night match, Chelsea's new £30million recruit Andriy Shevchenko looks like a waste of money. With £30million, they could have got Fernando Torres or someone else younger than Shev.
Anyway, he may still do ok but he won't last... cos already 30yrs old, won't improve but can get less effective in a short time. And if expected, chelsea will sell Gudjohnsen, Crespo and with Drobga, their best striker last year asking to leave, cos he knows his chances to play will be limited and also he wants to go to AC Milan (Bigger Club)... Hmmm.

No supplies from team mates how u expect him to do much? Laughing

dcx SG

If you throw Ronaldo or R'dino into S. League/Spore Lion Team n play against Barca.....what say you? Laughing

BillyBong SG

I think Ronaldo will rock if he joined the lions! Mr. Green Being a skillful brazilian, he need not necessarily require the best service and can proceed to perform som splendid dribbling on his own.

Of course, he is rather FAT at the moment.

Sheva on the other hand, requires good crosses, defence-splitting passes and sweet one-twos to be effective. He's a poacher, not a soloist. Whatcha expect? Mr. Green

Båseline SG

Jus by judging from one match huh.
U got to see it in the big picture. He's not superman, it's a collective team effort and he was playing upfront n alone most of the time.

After one season at Chelsea then come and rant if he still worth the dough or not.

soccersiao SG

Chelski can afford to waste money since they've got so much of it anyway. Laughing

Båseline SG

I love to see Shevchenko warming the benches at Chelsea, priceless for a World Class Striker. Laughing

BrUtUs SG

chelsea already sold gudjohnsen… shevchenko is really not worth the $$$ spent… even he is a more advanced version of alan shearer but he still dont worth his price….

dragg SG

the season havent even start yet.

dont compare ukraine to chelsea.

dinky1409 SG

Gudjohnsen sold to Barca already as a replacement for Larrson.. Sad Don like Barca.. So strong.. Sad

snowbird82 SG

Well if you like Barca , then isnt Chelsea worse? Wud love to see Henry at Barca , that will be an amazing lineup… But Shevchenko is very much the perfect striker , can head , can dribble , can score tap in , can shoot from far , can take free kicks and can take penalties ( though miss sometimes)..He still has around 2 or 3 years left in him…

SexyChin SG

Shevchenko is just a typical striker.
The main difference is that he does everything well.

JusStatic SG

Well said. Obviously the thread starter either dont watch other leagues alot or is too baised against Chelsea.

Even if he flop in the EPL does not mean the EPL is the best or that he a lousy striker compared to those who play in the EPL. Some players'playing style may suit the english league some may not.

To say he is a flop and a waste of money based on one game is baised and naive to say the least.

here we go again... Rolling Eyes

used SG

shev and henry has the same problem. Can set record breaking no of goals in club level but when comes to international matches,they are non-existant

dragg SG

he is either anti-chelsea or pro-liverpool.

tarcki SG

Cun say that on sheva... if midfeld cun supply chances how can he score? By not having worldclass players around him its quite hard for him to score tons of goals.

dinky1409 SG

What is money to Chelsea? lol... Mr. Green

Parka SG

After he scores goals, you guys will be just eating your words.

Write him off at your own peril . When he scores against your favourite team, don’t be shocked.
