End of the road for Shevchenko

Carlo Ancelotti today has confirmed that he expects Andriy Shevchenko to leave the club before the end of the transfer window on Monday. Sheva was told earlier in the week that he does not feature in Carlo's Champions League squad and the fact that he has now been told that he will not be given alot of opportunities in games this season has forced Sheva's hand.

In some ways its a shame for Chelsea and of course for Sheva but with the likes of Drogba and Anelka playing as well as they have been towards the end of last season and the start of this, it was obvious that he wasn't gonna get much of a look in.

There will always be the dig to us made by other clubs £130,000 a week and £30m quid for hardly anything at all and in some ways they are right as lets be honest he didn't really cut it in the Premier League. But, in his defence he was up there playing next to Didier when Didier scored his 30+ goals that season and chipped in with his few.

But even though its the end of the road for Sheva, one thing is for sure, he will be remembered as a crowd favourite as he always acknowledged the Matthew Harding every time they sang his name, even during games!. Most of all he will be remembered for his rocket in the top corner away at Spurs in the FA Cup replay!

Thanks for always trying to give your all and good luck in whatever you do. But in the end it just wasn't meant to be!
