Posted September 29, 200915 yr Michael Ballack has hinted that his time with Chelsea could be over if the club fail to secure major silverware this term. Sky Sports Dot Com allways gets me when players sing new contracts then turn around and say i might leave !!! as much as i like the guy - make your mind up when deciding 1st time around yeh !!

September 29, 200915 yr Author Yeah i was thinking that, give youth a try, id be well happy to see them get a prem run out !!
September 29, 200915 yr He's 33, his contract runs out at the end of this season, he'll probably leave anyway truth be told.
September 29, 200915 yr wtf? this guy will stay, thats just the media... I cant see any quotes, where he says explicitely that he wanna leave. just an example: "I'm very much at home in London and I can imagine seeing out my career at Chelsea."
September 29, 200915 yr To be honest he didn't actually say he might leave Chelsea, did he? To me it seem like the newspaper took some quotes and then made their own version.
September 29, 200915 yr Looks like a report based around an interview he gave a couple of months ago where he actually said he was considering retiring from the game when his contract had finished. Can't see a problem with the true story at all.
September 29, 200915 yr Author Well tbh i never seen it as media titel tattle, but i do hope he does stay for 1 more season at least, but if he did go then be great for the younger kids to break through coz of the ban we got but just thought id share it, be happy as larry i fhe does stay and puts in 100 % Edited September 29, 200915 yr by Ant
September 29, 200915 yr I thought this was an old story that they've obviously re-hashed. From my understanding we had him sign a 1 year contract extention, and I think that'll be when he retires Scott
September 30, 200915 yr To be honest he didn't actually say he might leave Chelsea, did he?To me it seem like the newspaper took some quotes and then made their own version. Yep. Its complete crap. I woke up today and read a story with the title 'Ballack considers seeing out career with Blues". Used the same interview, just focused on different parts.
September 30, 200915 yr Didn't he say ages ago that he wanted to finish his career at Chelsea? some would say he all ready has.
October 2, 200915 yr The media always does this. A player makes a harmless comment about considering retirement or moving on when his contract ends and suddenly he's unhappy and wants out. Right. Anyway, Ballack's one of my favorite players and can still be extremely influential on his day, but after this year, if he wants to retire, it's fine with me. If not, also fine with me.
October 3, 200915 yr Unbelievable. Sky should tell us if we're the only ones not getting that hint from this story?
October 3, 200915 yr Ballack hasn't been what we all expected when he arrived I'm sure but when he has been on form he have decided games for us. That is something you cant say from all of our players..
