BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 According to mass media reports, Balley has said he plans to end his career following another two years with the Blues and the World Cup in 2010. Its a likely statement, as he will be 32 in September afterall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kez 2,727 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 yeah seems bout the right time to retire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerCFC 7 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I'm glad he realizes that it's time for him to go in two years. Nothing worse than an ignorant over the hill football star. Hopefully he'll be able to win a major tournament for once. Hopefully the World Cup for us in two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misschief 24 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Whether or not he will give it all up in two years or not, we'll have to wait and see. I always admire players prepared to retire before they're completely past it though. Loved his dig about wanting a five year contract though. Class.

Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Good ! Lol? Meh, bit gutted, i reckon he could go abit longer than that surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Not suprising to see that is when he intends to retire. It is hard after that time to play at the very highest level and he obviously wants to go out on the top of his game. Fair play to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I hope he retires whenever he's no longer good enough to play for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Good ! Ballack was incredible for us last season. If we would have had his goalscoring throughout the season, we might have won something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said good because he will be in overdrive by then . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
