Poyplemonkeys Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 What's the deal with Ballack? Is he injured or just having a bit more rest due to the Euros? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgekings Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 He joined up with the squad a few days ago but isn't ready for games yet. They gave him extra time off after the Euros and for his honeymoon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridgekings Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Say the Malaysian XI are pretty gash aswell, will the two decent games in Russia be enough 'proper' tests before the season begins? Would ideally like to see at least one more game of high quality before the season starts. I know pre-season is primarily about increasing fitness levels but proper match fitness/sharpness will be far better developed in sterner tests.

kingcav Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I'll still wear my belletti shirt with pride even if he does leave us. such a dude. so the next question is whose name to get on the new kit? it's a toss up between a.cole, j.cole and essien atm.

Ashley Cole. Save Essien for a Ghana shirt imo. Want to get a Chelsea shirt with Ballack on the back but I might just do Germany instead, quite like the red and black away shirt.

Mr Sandman Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 if i were a chelsea fan i'd go with Deco Bosingwa or Di Santo for sure, maybe even Sinclair for the Frank Sinclair mindgame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapman Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Matt - I went for Essien this season, I almost went for Ricky but didn't want to look silly in case there was some truth to the speculation and he left, also saw a couple of kids with Deco on theirs this morning, one with the home kit and one with the black away shirt which which I really like and am very tempted to invest in and pretty confident it will now be safe to get Carvalho on the back. Interesting to read Scolari saying he's not gonna be shy about blooding some of the into youngsters into the team this season and "What difference does it make if it's the Champions League or Carling Cup?" unless its a final or semi final but very encouraging me thinks. Also said the team will be built around six or seven key men with rotation amongst the rest so I'm assuming that 6 or 7 is dependent on what happens with Lampard and Drogba and anyone who arrives, its gonna be an interesting next month.

Poyplemonkeys Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I'd imagine 5 of those 6 being Cech and the back four to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Sandman Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 i have developed a soft spot for Chelsea as i've visited their ground more than any others....I really wonder how the Midfield will line up, if it's a DMC - CM - CM who the heck will get in, Deco Lampard, Ballack, Obi, Essien it's a RUM DO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
