Rough google translate
Bundesliga: Ballack was followed by team mate in Toronto
American news media that Michael Ballack, the German football league leading Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, the Canadian players to contract with Toronto FC.
Ad
Toronto play football Torsten Frings, Ballack who for years played with the German national team. The Netherlands Aron Winter, co-host of drivers conducted in the MLS, last eight matches earned no points.
Ballack betrayed: the end of May its decision where to continue his career.
Never thought in a million years I would need these skills here ....
It says that "according to American newspapers" Ballack is coming here this summer. No sourcing whatsoever. Then the stuff about Frings, Winter and being 0-8. Then goes on to say he has said he will disclose where he his going at the end of May (no betrayal, that's a google translate glitch)

"There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring." - Johan Cruyff
Thank you for the posts/translations.
He's 36 yrs. old. But if he brings the consistent quality like Torsten has....bring it on! Is this another case where the anonymity of Toronto and a quiet place for his wife and three kids to wind up his career may win out over other NA cities?
Season ticket sales might see a bump with a marquee name like his.
Wouldn't TFC have to buy out JDG, for Ballack to come in August?
"Failure simply isn't an option at this stage. TFC pushed its chips to the middle of the table when it splurged on Bradley and Defoe and reinforced its bet by making savvy acquisitions elsewhere. This collection of players is capable of delivering on the promises made during the close season. There are no more excuses available for TFC. Only success will continue the process of atoning for the past and establishing a higher standard for the future." FOX Sports

If it becomes more than a rumour, a DP like Ballack deserves his own thread.
