Remember Andrei Shevchenko? I do, barely... he was the guy who tore up Serie A with his scoring 127 goals in 208 games for AC Milan (of course, it was the one he didn't score from the penalty spot in Istanbul that I remember best).
Then he hopped on a plane for London, bound in his new role as Roman Abramovich's precocious, coy lover, one whose record-breaking transfer fee seemed like institutionalized money-laundering after one dismal season in Chelsea blue. His time at Stamford Bridge has been, for lack of a better word, utter shit; 9 goals in 47 games, injuries, plenty of time spent on the bench under Mourinho and Grant, and a rather tepid loan move back to the Rossonieri.
His loan is up, and return to the Chelsea reserves appears likely. But wait! Sheva might finally end his misery with a move back to Ukraine, as Dynamo Kiev are seemingly happy to take the 32-year-old striker with less confidence than someone with ADHD trying to take their driving test.
Shevchenko was the butt of every joke while at Chelsea. 31 million pounds down the drain. Oh, how we loved to see him fail.
The video below the jump is a reminder of just how lethal he was before he came to the EPL. I would post a vid of him succeeding in the EPL, but it'd only be 10 seconds long.

Shadow formerly known as Shevchenko is going home?

Ipswich? Hell NO!
Ipswich you say? Haaaaahaaahaa...NO!
Misfiring Portsmouth 'mistake' (6 million pounds from Preston NE) David Nugent is reportedly refusing to join Ipswich for 5 million. Nugent mulled over a loan switch last season and snubbed the bin men after refusing to make a decision, and now Ipswich have come back in for Nugent and offered 5 million. But the goal shy 'hitman' still refuses to join the Suffolk club... and who can blame him!
Nugent might not be able to buy a goal these days but apparently he is a man of refined taste. You stay put until a half-decent side comes in David. U.F salutes you!
Nugent's reluctance to leave Portsmouth will frustrate Harry Redknapp as he has plans for that 5 million! Nugent played 15 times for Portsmouth and failed to find the target.
