Ballack expecting title charge!

I have to say I was pleased with the quote that came from Michael Ballack recently. He said:

"It is our target every year to win the league and we are confident about winning the title," said Ballack, quoted in the London Evening Standard following his appearance at a Chelsea charity event, Right to Play, in Wentworth.

"I think we had a good season last year, but United have played at a really high level the last few years. They made it really difficult for us to win the League in 2007 and 2008, but we were really close behind and last season we also finished behind Liverpool, who had a strong season.

There are a few moments which decide every championship but we are confident it will be different next time. We have a very experienced squad." Ballack added: "We haven't added a lot of new players, so we don't need much time to get into our rhythm."

I think he has a point you know. We haven't lost anyone (at the moment) and we have made a great signing in Yuri Zhirkov. Added to that we have Sheva and Pizzaro back into the fold (albeit we do not know how long for) so we are looking very very strong for the coming season.

Let's hope the one or two issues that surround the club at the moment are sorted out and we can kick on in pre season and really hit the ground running come kick off on August 15th.
