People going places.

Ballack seems to be on his way to Stamford Bridge even before the world cup starts. With ManU, Inter and Real pulling out (supposedly) of the race to sign the German skipper, Chelsea look set to sign him and to be more honest, his 120,000 a week contract will not be a pinch on the pocket only for the blues.

With the return of the in-form Saha, van Nistelrooy's place in the starting lineup seems to be under threat and there are rumours linking him with Milan, Tottenham and Roma lining up a bid for the Dutch hitman. I would personally love it if he stays at ManU but on the other hand, Milan is not something that I would be really sorry about - provided Shevchenko remains the star there!
