"The talks between Marin and the blues will be well advanced and could be early next week to be completed. The London endeavor to ensure a long-term cooperation, Marin allegedly to get a contract until 2017."

Well, that come out of nowhere. He is small, no smaller than Josh, so if Marin gets playing time; Josh has to also.

I dont know, we cant just go after every player that is decent. Kross or Reus would be my option from Germany if one should come.

Marin had bad season and he is just not THAT good.

he has reportedly signed yesterday a 5 year contract.

With Chelsea of course. Until 2017 as the news says.

Twitter rumors that Lukaku will be loaned out to Werder for next season as part of the deal. But as I said... Twitter.... But would be great for Lukaku.

Edit : Also sky sport in Germany has said he has already passed his medical.

[Spike 12,049]

Thanks lads, Mr. F9T's post confused me a bit.

Werder Bremen and the Bundesliga would do Lukaku wonders. Best league in the world.

[Billy. 2,742]

Interesting if true.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Well this is quite surprising news. If £8M is true as reported, its a good deal.

[Madmax 9,219]

Germans .. ausgezeichnet.

I am bit confused.

Can someone clarify my ignorance.

How can you sign a player when the transfer window is not open?

The upheaval at Werder Bremen continues. Marko Marin changes to the island!

(Sky Sports News HD) - After SKY information is Marko Marin for the Champions League finalists Chelsea.

In London Marin received a five-year contract. 2009 changed hands for more than eight million euros from Gladbach to the Weser. This season, he was only five missions over the full distance.

Marin was during the week at the medical check in London as Chelsea against Sky Sports News HD confirmed.Werder's interest in Chelsea striker

In return, Werder are interested in a loan from Chelsea Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgian plays the blues at the moment and no role could be a replacement for Claudio Pizarro in the striker.

He has had a pretty bad year but in his previous two his was rather good.

93 Appearances

12 Goals

26 Assists

Wow

He won't join Chelsea till the window opens. It happens rather regualry Clubs and players reach decisions that won't take effect till the transfer window opens. Borussia Dortmund did the exact same thing with Marco Reus.

It is like a pre-agreement.

Holy shit! WHEN THE HELL DID CHELSEA BECOME GOOD WITH TRANSFERS? YOU BLOODY BEAUTY!

Great signing this is... this for me, just came out of the blue!! I would have preferred Götze though, but Marin is an awesome player apparently!!

Him and Mata would work brilliantly as wingers either side, now, it's time to give Kalou/Malouda their marching orders!!
