Look at our recent recoard. Sutton, Kesman, Casaraghi, Mutu. He certainly isn't the worst striker we've ever had.
Sutton was at Chelsea for only a season (1999/2000). Pierluigi Casiraghi (1998) was luckless and had his career ended with a cruciate ligament injury after only ten games. Kezman had 112 goals in 136 games for PSV, so no-one really saw his failure coming (did you know that Chelsea made a profit on him?).

Mutu was a superb forward who was bailed on by Chelsea when many other clubs would have stuck by their man - just look at Arsenal's treatment of Merson and Adams. The simple truth was that they wanted rid of him, which was probably a mistake given his success with Fiorentina and Romania. Typical Ranieri signing though, didn't suit Mourinho at all.


Back to my point: Shevchenko cost £30m and came to the club as a proven striker. None of the others did. Shevchenko scored more than a goal every two games against notoriously tough Italian defences - more than 25 goals a season for his last 3 seasons. He had to produce, and he failed.
