5 top strikers who failed to deliver the goods in Chelsea colours

#2 Andriy Shevchenko (2006-2009)

Chelsea fans never got to see the real Sheva

It was never going to work out for the Ballon d'Or winner at Stamford Bridge.

The Ukrainian prior to his move to Stamford Bridge had been one of Europe's deadliest strikers. Playing in the Red and Black of AC Milan, Shevchenko's pace, trickery, ruthless finishing and world-class abilities had made him a household name

In the summer of 2006, Abrahmovic decided that it would be a good idea to get the Ukrainian to ply his trade in the Premier League. A fee of £30.8 million was paid and Shevchenko joined to the delight of the club's fans.

Right from the first day, it became clear that he wasn't a good fit for the team. Jose Mourinho had not wanted the striker and therefore, made no effort to tweak his team and tactics to fit in the former Dynamo Kiev superstar.

At this point, Shevchenko had lost some of his deadly pace due to age and a succession of injuries. With Mourinho refusing to tweak his tactics and the incompatibility with the midfield at that point meant that he could only score 22 goals in 77 appearances for the club during his rather sad stay in England.
