according to soocer am all sports show on friday night, rumours from italy report that manchester utd are making a £10 million bid for the milan ace.

don't know if its true, would be a bargain at £10 million though.

yes..but the market's depressed.. even nesta and crespo went relatively cheap.

10 million may be a bit low, but he certainly wouldn't go for what he was worth a couple of years ago, especially after coming off an injury. Hopefully we would pounce if it was in the 10-15m range.

Yeah, but surely not that depressed to put Shev in the Robbie Keane bracket. Surely closer to the Ronaldo bracket? What was that 29m with the fee and the players that will eventually go?

I'd say Milan would want at least 18m.

yes, thats true...but wouldn't u say 18million would still be a good deal for us? considering what we paid for Seba and Rio?

Yeah, a similar price to what we paid for RVN would be a very good buy IMO.

I'm not convinced that Sheva - Ruud would necessarily be the best partnership we could muster. Looks phenominal on paper but they're both similar in style. We need someone with more pace imo.

We all know who you want Raoul. ;)

Cisse per chance?

He's my first choice, but he obviously wouldn't be available until the summer. Maybe we'll get PDC and buy a big name player in the summer.

i thought Shev had decent pace?

wouldn;t say he's henry quick but he's no slouch.

altho, yes, he's is very similar to RVN, we need a ronaldhino or an Aimar type of player...but Sheva would be a good buy, especially considering our lack of forwards.
 
I also think it's going to be PDC. The big name will come in the summer. Who that will be is anyone's guess.
 
cisse would be a top buy n'all...

he's not a ronaldinho type..but he's quick and has good dribbling skills... altho's he's not a great fiisher, from what i've seen...

i'd love to see him at OT.... he's potentially, better than Henry.

cisse
sheva

or

ronny


IMO.

You must've seen him in the WC giggzy. He's a good finisher from what I've seen. Developmentally similar to Henry for his age.

I thought Benjani was excellent for Auxerre the other night. He'll become a good player.

he scores amazing goals, but i've seen him miss some easy ones, perhaps iam too over critical..

and development wise, i think he's ahead of Henry... i remeber watching, TH at monaco, and thinking he's just all pace. I think Wenger and Arsenal were a great help, as was the PL...its a top place for young strikers to gain confidence.. It'll be an excellent move for Cisse, if he indeed, decides to chose a PL club...

10mil? That's less than what Milan paid for him in the first place.

still reckon on form he's the best 'striker' in the world.</strong><hr></blockquote>

Agreed.

£15m sounds reasonable to me. I'd go for Sheva anyday at that price.

They can't expect to make a profit. The market is dropping.

Shevchenko came back today after his long injury and scored in the 2:3 defeat at Chievo.

Stating afterwards he's rejected an offer from United because of his fear from competition with deadly diego.

Seems no reason for Milan to sell Sheva cheaper than they bought him. Yes, the marker is bad, but they haven’t to sell him this winter have they? I’m afraid 20 mln will be the minimum price if we want him.

Im not convinced either, he isnt the best we can do! I keep saying we need a fast striker and i too believe that Cisse can be better than Henry with some time. We need a link up guy as well which Shevvy is not.

Come on now, Shevchenko is one of the fastest players in the world with incredible skill, finishing etc. He can also create chances. He is the 2nd best striker in the world behind Ronaldo, and thats based on the assumption that Ronaldo is a phenomenon, performance-wise Shevchenko has been better for a loooong time. Its pretty damn offensive to say you wouldnt want Shevchenko - absolutely great player who kicks the shit out of the likes of Crespo, Inzaghi and all these other halflings posing as world class.

Cisse isnt quite ready yet IMO. He doesnt have the skill of Henry, more about power and pace like Heskey - great player though, but I dont think we will be getting him or Mexes. Hope I'm proved wrong though.

Schevschenko came back this weekend. He'll probably play in the champions league soon so will be cup tied.

I couldn’t agree more. Anyone who thinks Shevchenko isn’t that quick, mustn’t have seen him play – he’s like a bloody greyhound!! His finishing is also second to none; consistently hitting 20 plus league goals in a 34 game Italian season proves that.

If we are in need of a striker, which of course we desperately are, - we could not possibly get a better one than this guy. If we could get him for anywhere near what Milan paid for him – we’d get done for theft.

Like you say, Inzaghi is making headlines, and the likes of Crespo and Vieri have gone for £30M at one time or other, but none of them are even remotely in the same class as Shevchenko. Pair him with Ruud, and you’ve got yourself the most potent strike-force in world football, - it’s as simple as that. It would be like pairing Ronaldo and Batistuta five years ago. Two devastating finishers, one with incredible speed and dribbling ability, - and the other with the power and aerial presence.

I don’t know if he’s made an appearance in the very early stages of the Champions League, but he’s fit now – and Milan are in a comfortable enough position to give him some games. If he’s not currently cup-tied, and still left out of the side during the week – then something could be on the cards.

It shouldn’t have got to this anyway, - we should have bought him years ago.

Right. So why would Milan be so stupid as to sell him to us?

Because they bought JDT and Rivaldo and because Sheva was off form last season. They also might want to get some money back in.

don't forget every italian club is probably in dept so given the players milan signed in the summer they might need a return on their investments.i say the price would be between the 18m-25 million price tag.
 
i know sheva is similar to RVN but would that necessarily be a bad thing? given van nistelrooy's injury problems sheva could fill in his boots when ever he would be injured perfectly.

Do you think Sheva will sit on the bench?

Who the feck is Schevchenko?

Too similar to Ruud? Sell Ruud then ;)

On a serious note, I have some doubts about Sheva. He is a fantastic player, and will be a great addition to any team, but with him coming back from a long injury, it may be doubtful whether or not he can deliver the quick fix upfront that SAF needs this year.

And on a more serious note, I doubt Milan would sell him for 10 million pounds. More like twenty imo.
 
jens is right about his season when you look at the other "top" strikers in SA. trez, veira , even crespo with fewer games scored about the same amount. so maybe w/ pippo's form in c/l and league play may make him expendable. but not for 10m.
