this is why i follow a country more than a club.
No player is bigger than the club. Sure there are players that you associate with a particular club, players that have spent a long time there and you just cannot imagine them playing for another club. Those players become icons of the club, just like the stadium and the history of the club. The boardroom figures may come and go but thats not so important to us. Players are a much different thing, I understand that.
Peter Osgood was my boyhood hero. He to me WAS Chelsea. He made his debut is 1964, and in 1974, after falling out with the then manager Dave Sexton, was sold to Southampton. This after 380 appearences and 150 goals for the club.
I remember the demonstrations by the fans outside Sramford Bridge. We formed a picket line outside the Bridge in protest and left the board in no doubt how angry we were. Leaving Chelsea was not Peter's decision so the parrallels with the Shevchenko situation differ in this respect, but even so, i do understand the agonies that Milan fans must feel over his departure.
The point is this though. I thought at the time that Chelsea could go to hell. Of course I remained a firm supporter even if it did take a few years for me to calm down.
Then as time went on, Chelsea produced other icons. Kerry Dixon, Mark Hughes, Pat Nevin and Ray Wilkins, come to mind, and of course later on players like Zola, Gianluca Vialli, Shifty Petrescu, Roberto Di Matteo, Gus Poyet and Dennis Wise. Now we have Lampard, Terry and Cole and the list is growing as the seasons pass.
Eidur Gudjohnsson and Billy Gallas are worshipped at Chelsea. We never imagined them playing anywhere else EVER. Now we find that Eidur and Billy want to move on, through their own choice. We will not give them a hard time over the moves. As dissapointed as we are, these guys have the right to decide what they want in life. We as fans, have no right to dictate to them or condemn them for their decisions.
We will always remember our Legends with gratitude and love, and remember only the joy they gave to us all when they played for Chelsea. I believe that's the way it should be. Anything else seems to me, like an obsessive disorder that requires medical help.
You will not find a crazier Blues fan than me but I'll tell you this, My club will never be more important than the people around me that I love and cherish. My partner and my kids in particular. THEY are the reason that i live, not my football club. Some people need to get their priorities in order.

I dont even know what the **** to think anymore. if it's about you're family, go play in the MLS, you're wife is American 
whatever man, I love Sheva, and I always will. he'll still be my favourite player, even at Chelsea. that way, when he scores a hat trick in a 4-3 loss to Citeh, I'll be a very happy man
I'm still supporting Ukraine this World Cup because of him, I'll still wear his jersey proudly as well. what else can I say but thank you :Bow:

I actually wish this move would never have transpired, because to see the character assassination that he has fallen victim to im pretty distraught (he is among my favorite players as well)
I want someone of his talents playing for Chelsea, but if the whole deal hit the skids tomorrow, then part of me would be glad
and anyone who claims they would put their club loyalty over their family's well being needs to take a step back and realize football is just a game

"I am annoyed by the Chelsea rumours," he told L'Equipe. "I have three years remaining on my contract.
"Today, I only think about Milan and ending the season in the best way."
"And then? I don't want to talk about it. It is nonsense now."
"I repeat it: I am fine at Milan."
"I've already said I want to end my career here, even if you can't plan for it in football."
"Would I like to become a 'Milanist' for my whole life, like Franco Baresi or Paolo Maldini? Yes."
"Rossonero a vita (Rossonero for life)"
This article is barely 8 weeks old. Says it all, doesnt it?

LMAO, family reasons my ass. He had it all in Milan, great city, great culture, great team, the fans' adulation, fame, fortune....yet he wants to move to Chelsea? Why didn't he want to raise his family in England a few years ago before Abramovich came? He's just another money whore like Ballack, it's a shame, I thought he was a nice guy too.
