Cast aside your engerland goggles for one minute and you might actually agree with some of these points
Not for me. Ballack slows plays down too much & we’ve already got a few too many of those in our midfield. He’s not mobile enough anymore to play the 3rd midfielder role alongside or between Cesc/Cesc’s replacement & Song. Think we need someone more dynamic there, quicker to close players down & more of a driving force.
I would have Ballack everytime over sideways Denilson and Diaby.

I'd rather piss myself than shit myself, but I'd rather do neither.

Well looks like he's off to Spurs. The crooks said they've made contact, the bookies make them favourites, and seens as though he's played for 2 teams I hate, why not make it a third. For an islington boy he really does pick some shitty clubs!
hearing the news im now quite excited, i think we may well have signed cole already....i hope so as think he would make a good signing. Id also have Ballack but can see him heading off to Italy or Spain.
