Michael Ballack is an excellent player, he's one of the best in German history. He will make the difference between an early exit and late elimination round participation for the German team this summer.

oh yeah he looks good \ni saw him in the match against brazil he played quite well \n\ni found his stats \nhe wears jersey no 10  \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nDate of birth:  15 October 1971\nHeight:  178 cm\nWeight:  75 kg\nPosition:  Midfielder\nCurrent Club:  Hertha Berlin (GER)\nInt'l Goals:   8 (as of 15-Jun-2006)\nInt'l Caps:  59 (as of 15-Jun-2006)\nFirst Int'l Cap:  Morocco v.

Now 34, he continues to work tirelessly at the unglamorous task of midfield ball-winning, while not neglecting to get forward at regular intervals. \nBorn in Berlin on 15 October 1971, Niko Kovac possesses dual German-Croatian nationality. Unsurprisingly, he has spent his entire career in the Bundesliga, where he has represented five different clubs. His heart, however, is indisputably with Hertha Berlin, with whom he started out in the 1991/92 season. \n\nAs he learned his trade during his first four seasons, he devoted himself solely to defensive duties without taking too many risks. As a result, he got on the scoresheet just four times in 117 games. During the 1995/96 campaign, however, he emerged as an attacking force, surging forward on a regular basis to claim 11 goals in 35 appearances\n \nhttp://home1.vr-web.de/~peter.boehm/steckbriefe/niko_kovac.htm\nthis page has really cute pics of him

I think in salary Michael Ballack is the highest paid footballer around.\n\nIn terms of other stuff like endorsements etc it is still Beckham.

I AM ALSO A GUNNER FAN, HOWEVER I FEEL CHELSEA WOULD BE IDIOTS TO SELL LAMPARD. HE IS A PROVEN PLAYER, TO BUY BALLACK WHO MIGHT NOT EVEN BLEND INTO THE TEAM.

I think no!!! My reason being Beckham is more for ratings than his technique...Madrid never reallyu needed Beck's skills...they wanted his fame....He sells tickets, not to imagine jerseys & tv rights...in his 1st year at madrid, Real overpassed Manchester as the world's richest club...and guess what MLS might just use that to attract the world's attention & with a good management team they could just be competing with Europe's elite leagues

He's still good. The thing is people expect him to be scoring goals all the time but he's a midfielder so any goals he scores are special but not his main job. He's a good captain and he motivates his team. His football is still good and he knows his strengths and his weaknesses. I think if he still played in england the english would see he's still got it. In spain - everyone sees him, everyone knows hes still good.

He's good, even though he suffer 4 goal defeat in the Uefa Cup final. He can still lead the England national team to world cup 2010 in the South Africa.\nHe got experience from the present coach, being the assistant of his and this is going to help him to took over the job.\nBeing middlesbrough coach, he had got experience of dealing with the big star players. He will be suitable for England and do the job well.

Yes. He is so much better than Hodgson, Barkly and Goode, all of whom have had their chances and have been inconsistent.\n\nHe isn't help be peole deliberatly targeting him in club matches, but has is fit now and raring to go, looks on fire too.

Ballack Big possability.As in the contract negotations are already taking place because Ballack admitted his intrest.Andriey is a diffrent story he isn't locked up wit AC for ever ONLY if some one pays AC more than 50 mil euros (such as real madrid did with Zidane they paid 49 mil to Juve a while back )\nI think he will stay for a few more years at AC because they have Kaka,Inzaghi,Seedorf,Maldini,  DIda locked up at least for now.I know for a fact Ballack is finally leaving Buyer Munich.\nGo Chelsea! they can't be stoppedl! 2 years in a row next year with Ballack it will be a UEFA victory title too!

I don't think that Ballack is well known for having a particularly strong sense of loyalty so if Chelsea offers the right amount of money, I think that he will sign for them.\n\nI personally don't see the need for Chelsea to sign Ballack seeing that he plays in essentially the same position as Frank Lampard does right now and is the same type of player - a midfielder who is creative and scores a lot of goals. Ballack is probably slightly more experienced that Lampard and is a better header of the ball, but there is no way that they are leaving Lampard on the bench.\n\nI also can't see Mourinho playing Lampard and Ballack together as Makelele is very effective in the holding role in midfield and Mourinho's formation pivots around that position.\n\nI think Chelsea would be better off buying another striker to be honest. Drogba and Crespo haven't really been as consistent as other top class strikers in the Premiereship.

Better Player: Ballack. A terrific team captain!! Germany hasn't let in any goals since he played. Great assistance, and great ball control. I hope he scores one for Germany in the next match.\n\nBetter Looks: Ballack. IMHO Taller, Sexier... Tall, dark and handsome is just what he is... Love his eyes, too... I admit that Becks has the prettier face, though. But that's just about it. Ballack is more attractive... I've never been much attracted to Beckham... He's too pretty... He's even prettier than his wife.

NO...NONONONONONONONONO\n\nBallack although he's a great player is not what Chelsea needs. Frankly, Chelsea's midfield bench would be a starting lineup at any other team. Meanwhile Drogba is not the finishing striker that Chelsea desperately needs. So, unless Ballack is being used as a lure to attract a world class striker like Henry or Van Nistelroy, this move is very foolish
