Fair or not, a move to the MLS would be seen as a retreat after his poor spell at Chelsea. His form with Ukraine has been decent, and I'd like to see him go to Italy. He's a big name, but not big enough to produce a Beckham-like surge in ticket and jersey sales, and that's what NY would need to justify paying him the big bucks. Factor in the fact that he would have to be paid in US dollars and it's a losing proposition for Sheva.

If Shevchenko sent a DVD to Nicol, and was willing to play for like 30k, then New England would take him. There is no chance he'll end up in New England. Wait, that's not good enough, THERE IS NO WAY HE'LL END UP IN NEW ENGLAND. The Revs went into the playoffs with a roster spot open, a couple hundred thousand under the cap, haven't signed a significant player outside of the draft since God knows when, have no youth system, no jersey sponsor, and have a marketing budget less than what I made last week and I'm unemployed right now. Kraft was just one of the owners who voted against raising the cap more than 200k, so I'll believe the Revs getting a DP when he's actually on the field. Sorry for the rant.
