I alsways wonder why ppl ask this kind of question - "Where is ballack gonna play." for goodness sake he will play on the turf or grass.
Chelsea play 3 in the middle and have Essien, Lamps, Maka, Diarra there. they need Ballack.
Geremi is a RB now, Guddy seems gone, Maniche is not a chelsea player - his loan is ended.
Does that anwser ur question? with 4 CM and over 50 games, dont u think they need Ballack?
By the way, with Edmilson, Deco, Iniesta, Van Bommel, Xavi, Thiago Motta, Gabri, Jordi -
Now, BNarca plays with 3 Central Mid. how caome i do not see u asking where they will all play?

what happened to this thread?
Lampard is as untouchable as Terry and, sadly, as permanent in the lineup (I say sadly only because when he is off form as he was from time to time this year, he should have been dropped). He is going to start every week without question, even with Ballack here.
Sorry to say for him, but it will be Essien on the bench for some time, at least until Makelele needs a respite. Even this doesnt convince me though, because Lassandra Diarra looks damn good in the time he has gotten this year in the holding role. But eventually, Essien is gonna get his chance. Though he flagged near the end of the season, he was the sh*t early on. His run of games with that Betis masterpiece in the middle was monumental
in a 4-4-2 diamond
---------Maka
-Essien
----------------Ballack
---------Lampard
or change Joe Cole for Essien and give him the run of the rightside, and I believe Essien has played on the right before
in a 4-3-3
--------Maka
---Ballack
------------Lampard
I think it can work. In any event, he is clearly a signing meant to give us European seasoning. The way I see it, getting him will be a good indication of what Gerrard wouldve looked like in our side. A goal scoring threat who has a good defensive aptatude and can make a side run along by being the 'playmaker' for the forwards or wingers.
A signing like this indicates the target is certainly the champions league next year. And no, that doesnt include Roberto Carlos
By the way, I have to as Tracerdong why he uses "we" in reference to Chelsea on the CSR?

He isnt going for Roberto Carlos. We went for him three years ago, and just like Salgado, he didnt want to come.
Now, somehow, these stories are getting recycled when we have better options at our disposal (Ferreira, Bridge)

Yeah he musta told Sir Alex all of that in sign language then...
I dont care that hes in it for money, but when you lie through your teeth about signing for us, make up all kinds of stupid stories and act like a damn juvenile, running away and hiding then you lose all respect. He's only hurting himself by not playing, the longer this goes on, the longer his career rots, and I would have it no other way. Besides where's he gonna start at Chelsea? He's gonna start over Lampard? HA. Over Ballack? HA. In Makelele's role? HA. Should be fun to see how they all get along.
Well theres no doubt they WILL get along. The squad spirit at Chelsea is one of the things that makes us strong. You are accusing him of making up stories when neither you, me or the media will ever know what really went on. Also he acts like a juvenile because he actually IS a juvenile. He's a young kid who who obviously knows nothing about the wheeling and dealings of the big clubs. You sound very bitter over it. Its not worth it, he doesn't even know you exist, so why care at all?

Yes it is and as teh club captain, and so much more, he is worth it.

Adding to a squad most clubs can only dream of assembling...the spending is "never-ending". If I'm not mistaken, he said something about breaking even by 2010..at this rate you guys will pull a Real Madrid. The coach said he needed a striker...Joe Cole, Arjen Robben, Damien Duff, Frank Lampard, Essien....yeah, I don't see why the hell Ballack was needed!

i don't understand the hate towards ballack's move to chelsea. or people asking if he'll play or not. of course he'll play. chelsea can expect to be involved in 50-60 games. with injuries and such a long season, ballack will get his fair share of games.
and i don't know about anyone else, but i would welcome with open arms a player of ballack's caliber to my team. he's a complete midfielder and is class.
and frank lampard if a great player. who cares if his first reaction is to shoot. he's not a "#10"...he scores goals. lots of them.

I know u are in pain.
Mikel will never play for ur debt-ridden club.
He is 19 and will not even get a work permit. He has not played that much games for Nigeria. by the time he is ready to step in, Maka will be retired and Ballack will be almost out. So, ur wish of seen his rot in the bench wil never happen. Sour grapes. I hope u keep up being angry. it will only be good news for us if u continuew to wallow in ur unhappiness while Mikel looks forward to playing for the club he loves.
p.s -the higher court in norway ruled yesterday that the lower court should hear mikels case. Soon Lyn will be exposed for the criminals they are, and Sir Alex and united will be told to "F" off again.

even with the story he put forth, which is the one I believe about Lyn forcing his hand into signing, I dont want Obi to come to Chelsea
