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.

He was chosen by Abramovich, not coach. So...

And Falcao was in bad form at Monaco before joining MU.
