Ballack for the bridge!

Germany captain Michael Ballack believes he has what it takes to become a star in the English Premiership.
The Bayern Munich midfielder, 29, is a free agent in the summer and has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea.

"For me it's the Premiership rather than Spain's La Liga. In England the pace is fast and tackles are hard," Ballack told the Daily Express.

"Look at players that become legends in England, like Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane. I see a lot of myself in them."

Ballack's agent Michael Becker has said the midfielder may join Chelsea before the World Cup finals, which start in his home country in June.

The German star is said to want a four-year, £120,000-a-week contract.

Bayern Munich's commercial manager Uli Hoeness has seemingly resigned himself to losing Ballack when the player's contract expires this summer.

He says his club cannot compete with Chelsea's financial muscle.

Do you think that will be a good move for chelsea, Beefy?

im not beefy but i think it would be a bad move

For £120.000 a week i would say its a very good move. Us mere mortals could play and retire in the same year for these ridiculous wages.

Ballack is a brilliant player and would be an asset to any team he plays in, if he can fit in midfield with Lampard it'll be the best in Europe
