That's why I said 'some'. Tell me, how has Falcoa done this season? What happened to Shevchenko? It is known that many footballers that do well in Europe struggle in the Prem, well sometime not struggle but get nowhere near the same performances. This said, I mainly want to see him in the Prem to see him in the Prem week in week out, I don't watch Spanish football. :P

Wasn't him over 30 years old when Chelsea signed him and had several injuries?

I think he joined at 29, his first season he played most games but didn't score many. Van Persie is currently older than that, has had serveral injuries while at Man U this season and still has more goals this season than Shevchenko did in 3 years in the Prem.

29 almost 30, his birthday is in September. Age affects players differently (points to Pirlo). Shevchenko was never as good as he was in 200-2006 in Milan even after leaving the PL so it's questionable if he was any good when Chelsea signed him.
