Ballack has no Chelsea doubts

Michael Ballack is yet to sign a contract with Chelsea, but admits there is no doubt that he will make the switch to Stamford Bridge.

Asked in an interview with Germany's pay-TV network, Premiere, whether he was having second thoughts about joining the Blues, Ballack said: "No, no doubts," before adding "Nothing has been signed yet."

The Germany international will play his last game for Bayern Munich on Saturday, after which he is expected to announce his decision to join Jose Mourinho's team.

The 29-year-old has also been the target of Bayern boo-boys in recent months after declining a lucrative new deal that would have made him the highest paid player in the Bundesliga.

However, Ballack is urging the fans to accept his decision to leave after four years of distinguished service at the club.

"I think my decision should be accepted and I shouldn't be kicked around anymore about it. That has actually been annoying me."

He added: "I'm glad that Bayern are angry if I go. That shows I did a good job and that I'm an important player. That is also reflected in the offer that they made to keep me."

At a certain level, that excuse rings pretty hollow

for example

Scenario One: Ballack stays in Germany with his new deal making him obscenely rich, remains club captain, an offensive focal point in Munich, gains the adulation of Bayern fans, wins a few more league titles, challenges for the champions league once or twice, and keeps his international place secure

or Scenario Two: Ballack moves to england for a deal that will make him a little more ungodly wealthy than he already is or would be, has to adjust to a new system, new league and a harder manager, has to win over new fans, has to win his place in the team, and endures all this uncertainty for a better shot, sorry bayern fans, at winning the champions league

Ballack doesnt exactly strike me as a scoundrel, despite the characterization of him by Bayern's club officials, so you'll forgive me if I dont quite see the "cash money" argument as clearly as everyone else. Look at Billy Gallas. He wants a new challenge and a huge wage hike wont keep him

I dont think youre "picking on" me at all, no. Your par usual is the one-line smart ass remark, so thats where my suspicion originates

but tell me where this G14 business enters into it? What im saying is, I dont understand what you mean. Youve offered that as an alternative as to a reason I suggested Ballack might have for moving to England. How are those related?

Then you must be made of something stronger than me, because im fucking sick to death of it.

I dread reading the news every god damn day, because I know something our club has done or is rumored to be doing will be spun to death until we look like villans again, and every football fan all over the world can break out their "lol" and " :nape: " to make themselves look like moral superiors

every fucking time i come onto this site its to defend Chelsea against this or that. We were the first team to dive, we were the first team to play longball, after a decade of shattered transfer fees its our money thats ruining football. I cant have any joy watching football anymore because the media and other fans have to suck the life out of it for me. It seems like thats the only purpose I have being registered to this forum anymore.

Omar.....you just have to laugh at the wankers mate. Its all they have left. Whatever is said, the fact remains that we are the richest club in the World and to get respect from toss pots is the last thing i need frankly. Who gives a s.h.i.t what a few frustrated no-hopers think. Their teams are like yesterdays news, and like all playground bully's, they are just picking on the new kid in the school. Just read the pathetic whinging posts and laugh mate. Thats what I do. I get more laughs on here than i get anywhere. :funny:

Im right here, so im not dodging around anything

Do I believe there is a G14 conspiracy to screw Chelsea? Is that the question?

Then no is the unequivocal answer. Yes, G14 clubs get something from being members. Added revenue or whatever it is. Clemency with UEFA as was the case with Liverpool. Do I believe there is a conspiracy to keep non G14 clubs from winning competitions? No

We were not good enough and thats the end of the argument. If you cant get it done on the pitch, you dont deserve to be pointing the finger anywhere else

"respect though for being forthright with your question"

Huffing and puffing regarding the champions league? Empty words coming from your lot, to be sure

and who, I ask you, is more pathetic? The individual who invents such nonsense, or the individual who is so outraged by it, they take the time to register, post, and clean up their act on a team specific forum just to gain info about the workings of a rival team

you act alot more civil on there, and you fool people into believing you have a brain
