Ballack was available on a free transfer. You would want him too if he was available. Chelsea offered him the biggest salary, so he could not refuse.\n\nShevchenko because he's a friend of Roman Abramovich, and Roman wanted him at Stamford Bridge. That's the theory going around anyway.

Definitely Not!\n\nChelsea already has enough players sitting on the bench wasting their talent. Shevchenko's move to Chelsea will be just another @$$ on the Chelsea bench! He should stick with Milan! They're a much better team anyway!

Hhmmm, let me think. was it Southampton, Pompey?\nJust kidding!\nIf they held onto him they could of got £7 million like Southampton did when he moved to Liverpool.

One of the most terrible moves made by Mourinho. Yes it might work out for the first few weeks, but Lampard will have to be substituted off just to put Ballack. Cole hasn't been on many starting line-ups as he use to. Lampard and Cole would not like that. They will want to be played more often or if not want their contracts with Chelsea terminated. Believe me Mourinho will regret it. Plus Chelsea have enough midfielders to start another team.

although i love sheva , and Milan would be much more better with the Ukrainian striker. but i believe that sheva made his decision of leaving Sansiro , and he better handle the consequences.\nMilan is a huge team in Europe, and one player no matter how good he is wont effect a successful club like A.C Milan.\nSorry sheva but if you didn't appreciate the staying at Milan , We wont appreciate you coming back after you left.\nAnd thanks for  a wonderful 7 years at Milan , but this is the end of Sheva's story at Sansiro.\nMilan fans love you for that and good luck with Chelsea !!

Shevvhenko is not stupid.  He's already used to the italian style of play and his carrer is almost over. If he does go he will have a horrible season at Chelsea.  Most of all Chelsea's winning ways are over.  Teams are already used top their style of play and anyone will stop them!

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.

Without a doubt, Benitez said he didnt need a striker prior to Owen joining Newcastle. If Robby F can return, then why not Michael.\n\nSaying that, I guess it would all stem around the cost

I really dont care, money has spoilt football, what chance do smaller clubs get, the big teams buy the worlds best, leaving smaller clubs with out a chance, look at Abramovich, he has a 767 flies everywhere uses it as a taxi, creates pollution, then buys foriegn players and pretends he has an English club, and all the stupid fans accept what is happening because he has BOUGHT sucsess

Chelsea. The only reason they are doing alright in the league is because some rich Russian guy bought them and has spent loads of money on getting players. Even if they are doing well, they still suck.

well at the moment I don't think they have one person who can actually speak english (sol campbell included).  It would have been when adams, keown, parlour and  seamen were playing I guess. NOt as far back as Wright and Paul Merson though\n\nIf theyde bought some english players when they were top of the league rahter than a load of foreigners who don't care then Chelsea wouldn't be the best club in england.\n\nGet some english players you jokers

Arsenal have 16, Chelsea do too as Ballack is a Chelsea player.

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.

I've been wondering about that too... it's quite possible because in the 1st ad, he directs Lampard & Robben(both CHelsea players) to switch places... anyway, I hate Chelsea & I hate Mourinho.

He did most of the work of getting the class players. But as shown in the Champions League semi-final, he wasnt as good a manager as Mourinho. He makes alot of questionable substitutions and doesn't motivate his team like Mourinho. \n\nBut he did most of the work of bringing the backbone of the current Chelsea team together.
