Ballack to Bremen now?

Think about it.

You'd suffer a heartattack if that happened, so, nope.

It would be worth a heartattack.

Oh, please dear football god, make it happen. Please, please, please...

Pffft - but don't come crawling back when it knocks you on your arse.

Seriously, you're worse about this than with Marko Marin. Although you were fangirling (-boying?) him for longer, so I guess it evens out in the end.

I wanted Marin in Bremen, I wanted Özil in Bremen...and look where they play now.

So it surely can only be a matter of time until the football god listens to me again and Ballack becomes a Werderaner.

Btw, I found a nice quote the other day: "Das Herz eines Werderaners schlägt nicht, es dribbelt."

when Bally was a child he still lived in SAXONY

pre- and post-UNIFICATION

this would have been 20-25 years ago, I suppose

so what does that mean ?

Bally

the KID

was a fan of

Rehagli's and Völli's Bremen ??



weird stuff

and

WHAT NEXT ?

tomorrow, Bally will tell us that he wore a FRINGI shirt when he was a KIDDY



Bremen have Marin and Özil and do not need Bally

instead

I would prefer to have Bally at HSV

as a player-manager

Werder should EXCHANGE

Drogba for Almeida

and

Borowski for Essien

instead

I guess I could live with that.

Don't agree with regard to Ballack though. He would be great for Bremen.

Mikey

aka

Bally

aka

the ONE

would be great everywhere

BUT

Bremen can survive at the top WITHOUT him

HSV

need ALL the help they can get

according to the Kölner Express

Magath is interested in signing

Mikey

aka

Bally

aka

the ONE

for Schalke



the Saxonian prince will become

der KÖNIG von Gelsenkirchen



imagine a Schalke with Ballack, Metze, Hinkel and Pantelic next season



van Gaal's Bayern would NOT have a chance in HELL

Ballack to Schalke?

We don't want him now. He had his chance, and he chose Chelsea. At Inter, he could ve been the king of the midfield at that time... the new Mathaus.

Instead, he became Lampard's bitch...

Think about it

Pantelic - ?

--------Rakitic --- ?

--------Ballack---------Jones

Pander --- Metze ---- Westermann -- Hinkel

-------------Neuer

I predict these boys would win the title with a 15 point lead over Bayern

Actually, bluenine is spot on. It was the wrong decision to join Chelsea. Ballack would have done much better for Inter, or Manchester United even. Now it's too late indeed.

I would like to see him back in the BuLi, doesn't matter if its Schalke.

I pray he stays with Chelsea, he's got a beastly curve on his crosses

holy fucking moly

Ballack will LEAVE Chelsea and is on the MARKET

his advisor tells us

Chelski have refused to give him the two-year contract he demanded

Allofs already said Bremen were not interested

in the BUndesliga, SCHALKE could go for Ballack

alternatively, Mourinho's Real

one thing is sure

the EPL will lose one of its biggest stars

and become even less attractive now

CRonaldo gone, then Fabregas and Ballack

will the EPL survive this shock ?

Ballack will struggle to find a top club to take him, I would think he'll end up in a player/coach role in the Championship or League One - he wants to stay in England apparently.

http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/0,1518,699686,00.html

apparently, Mourinho is chasing Gerrard

IF the Scouser declines the offer by Real,

Ballack will get a call

which surely

he could not refuse

otherwise, Ballack could be on his way to Schalke, which would be BRILLIANT

or HSV, where Veh has just told Jarolim he is no longer needed



the question now is:

how likely is Gerrard to accept a move to the biggest club in the world ?

I want to see Würstchen's face when Magath/Ballack win the title



they will have to BUILD a balcony in Gelsenkirchen

and Magath will SHOUT

"wir sind nicht nur der Meister von Gelsenkirchen

wir sind auch der Meister von Dortmund

und von München

und von GANZ DEUTSCHLAND

und

VIELLEICHT

VIELLEICHT

auch bald von

EUROPA

Schalke will win nothing next season. They will fail in the CL and then end on a place in the lower midfield in the Bundesliga.

You heard it here first.

„Schalke ist genauso ein Thema wie Borussia Dortmund und Arminia Bielefeld“, hieß es dazu gestern süffisant aus Ballacks Umfeld.

http://www.derwesten.de/sport/fussball/s04/Wechsel-Ballack-von-den-Blues-zu-den-Blauen-id3090103.html

Mit Schalkes Trainer Felix Magath verbindet ihn zwar ein gutes Verhältnis aus gemeinsamen Münchner Zeiten, aber sonst passt wenig zusammen: Magath hat auf anderen Positionen seiner Mannschaft Sorgen, und außerdem hat Schalke - wie der Generalmanager ja soeben lautstark beklagt hat - nicht mal für diese elementaren Notwendigkeiten genug Geld zur Verfügung. Die Anstellung von Christoph Metzelder, der eher kein alter Kumpel von Ballack ist, schafft im Übrigen weitere Tatsachen.

Eine glaubwürdige Spur führt dagegen nach Wolfsburg: Dort stimmen die finanziellen Voraussetzungen und andere geschäftliche Rahmenbedingungen (auch Wolfsburg wird von Adidas ausgestattet), und sportlich würde Ballack ebenfalls ins ehrgeizige Programm passen, zumal da der VfL in Gestalt von Steve McClaren einen englischen Trainer bekommt.

Manager Dieter Hoeneß lehnte es am Mittwoch zwar ab, sich dezidiert zu Ballack zu äußern ("wir sind definitiv nicht bereit, an Spekulationen teilzunehmen"), im weiteren Gespräch ließ er aber erkennen, dass der Klub unter dem Eindruck der neuen Fakten seine Planungen neu bewerten könnte. "Die Frage wird sein: Was will Ballack? Wenn er noch mal eine sportliche Herausforderung sucht, halte ich die Bundesliga nicht für ausgeschlossen." Es gäbe sicherlich drei, vier Vereine, die sich den Luxus seiner Verpflichtung leisten könnten, sagte Hoeneß. Einer könnte der VfL sein.

It seems like Ancelotti (and the team) wanted to keep Ballack, but Abramovich decided to get rid of him. That's what Ballack told the Times.

Ballack makes vow to Chelsea and blames Abramovich for his exit

Germany captain aims to bow out at the top, saying 'to end my career like this is not an option' after being told he can leave

[...]

It can be revealed that Carlo Ancelotti, the manager, recommended to Chelsea’s board that Ballack should be the first player awarded a new contract this summer, but was overruled by Abramovich.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article7147023.ece

at least he's leaving with dignity and humility

"Die Anstellung von Christoph Metzelder, der eher kein alter Kumpel von Ballack ist, schafft im Übrigen weitere Tatsachen."



so ein Müll von der SZ

the two are hardly ARCH-ENEMIES

Schalke are, in the words of Magath, Germany's SECOND biggest club

+

they play in the CL

and IF they sell Rafinha/Höwedes...

and IF Tönnies guarantees a loan, they HAVE the money

+

Jermaine Jones is still not fully fit, and Kluge or whatever his name is, has NOT been the improvement they needed

Schalke really want to be more creative, BUT Ballack could move back to his AMC position and GET many goals

it would be a PERFECT fit

--------

do NOT forget HSV though: with Jarolim gone, Ballack could work as well

and they seem to like old-Bosmans

the question is whether Ziegentaler would lobby against it

--------

Wolfsburg have the MONEY, and CRAVE more ATTENTION

but

for Ballack it really WOULD look like a MASSIVE step down

--------

Leverkusen now seem to be in the hunt as well, and think of offering Ballack a position in management afterwards

not sure what to make of it

------

surely

Schalke or HSV would be the best options

he should join real

they only have with alonso one quality DM

and hes on free

I don't really care where he moves to now, he has the best years behind him. However, I do care about our younger players eager to move abroad. I seriously hope that they plan their careers carefully, and make the right decisions. There are a few clubs out there where I'd rather not see them move to.

Anyone but Schalke please.

It's bad enough already for me that Metze has joined die Schlümpfe...

a BAD BOY
