    Shevchenko Quits Football For Politics.
    Ukraine's all-time leading goal scorer unexpectedly announces he is to quit the game to pursue a political careerAndriy Shevchenko has announced his retirement from football to pursue a career in politics.

    The 35-year-old striker, who played for the Ukraine at Euro 2012, made the announcement in a statement released by his club, Dynamo Kiev.

    "This will probably shock everyone," Shevchenko said.

    "My future will no longer be in football … I will be going into politics. I hope for your support," he added.

    Shevchenko earned his reputation as one of Europe's most prolific strikers in two successful spells with AC Milan.

    During his combined time with the Rossoneri, he scored 175 goals in 322 appearances and helped them lift the Champions League in 2002-03 and the Serie A title the following season.

    His two stints with Milan sandwiched a three-year spell at Chelsea, although he struggled to make his mark at Stamford Bridge.

    Shevchenko also won five league trophies with Dynamo having started - and now ended - his career there.

    He is the all-time leading goalscorer with Ukraine's national team, netting 48 goals in 111 matches.
    If he signed for the Jets he'd get more than enough politics.

    Interesting little article in the Sunday Telegraph saying that the striker we were pursuing is Europe-based, but it doesn't look promising because two MLS clubs are also chasing the same player. It said something about the fact that they have money and we don't. I'll try and find it and post it.

    Unfortunately not. It did say it would be sorted out either way this week, so we should know something soon.

    Deans said we are still following a number 9 and we'd know in one to two weeks if we are successful.

    Deans out

    Competition for places motivates Jets for intraclub trial



    JETS assistant coach Craig Deans said pride and competition for places would ensure motivation remained high for an intraclub trial on Wednesday.
    The Jets were to play a NSW Premier League club in Sydney, but that hit out was cancelled leaving the first and youth teams to go head-to-head at Ray Watt Oval.


    The youth team trumped the first XI 2-1 in a fiery clash at Hunter Valley Grammar a week ago and Deans expected another intense battle.
    ‘‘We got a lot out of the game last week and and hopefully it’s the same Wednesday,’’ Deans said.
    ‘‘It will be a good opportunity for the so-called starting XI to show they are the starting XI.
    ‘‘They are professional footballers and should want to win every time they play.
    ‘‘We don’t want 14 people who want to play and nine here to make up the numbers. We want 23 people who want to play.’’
    Veteran English striker Michael Bridges resumed running today but will not be considered for Wednesday.
    ‘‘He is coming along well,’’ Deans said.
    ‘‘He did a few light sessions towards the end of last week and a good session with the physio today. Hopefully he will be back in full training in the next seven-to-10 days.’’
    The Jets still have two places to fill on their roster.
    ‘‘Hopefully we will sort the No.9 situation out in the next week or two,’’ Deans said.
    ‘‘Gary and Robbie have been talking to a couple of players.‘‘The sooner we get it done the better, but at the same time we still have nine weeks before the start of the season.’’

    Makes the signing of a central striker all the more important.
