The Transfer Thread

Ridgeberg · 06-23-2005, 02:20 PM

Chelsea have made an astonishing £57 million world record bid to land AC Milan superstar Andriy Shevchenko -- and were last night told it's not enough. The Premiership champions offered AC Milan £48.9m plus Hernan Crespo in a determined effort to bring the 29-year-old Ukrainian to Stamford Bridge. With Crespo valued at around £8m, it would have smashed the current record, the £46.5m Real Madrid paid Juventus for Zinedine Zidane four years ago.

If Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich believed his stunning offer would tempt Milan, he was shown to be wrong last night as the Italian giants rebuffed the bid. Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said: "Chelsea have asked us for Shevchenko but we have told them 'No'. Sheva is not for sale. He is unsellable."

Hleb is good, surprised that the new coach wouldn't at least try to stand in the way a little bit.

Getting closer to the officail opening of the transfer period. 2 days!! Next week should be pretty crazy....

Apparently Chelsea is trying to sign anyone and everyone!! And the Crespo/Robinho sagas are getting interesting as well. Can't wait till Friday!

Robinho's gifted, but I think he's a bit slight for the Prem. La Liga or Serie A would be a better choice for him IMO.

This thread needs an update after some amazing news:

- Steven Gerrard will leave Liverpool despite being offered a £100,000 contract, with Real Madrid, Chelsea and AC Milan very keen on him ('Pool have already rejected a £32,000,000 bid from Chelsea).

- Just a fews days after being released by Inter, Christian Vieri has signed on a free transfer with cross-town rivals AC Milan.

Crespo is back at Chelsea.

Milan sign Gilardino from Parma which is a good move as he has been great in Serie A. So they lose Crespo and Tomasson but get Gilardino and Vieri.
