Marko Marin

[DH1988 1,304]

I think people saying 'Im not impressed' need to remember its his first appearance pretty much in competitive football for us (No I do not count Wolves, sorry!) and I was impressed with what he done and tried to do, its just something new and I'm looking forward to seeing more as to be quite honest I've seen enough of 'Mazacar', Ergh,

Seriously, Marin has some skill/style similar to Messi, but he is not as efficient. With enough games, he could turn in very fine player.

He was our only attacking threat in the first half. Some of his touches were a bit 'rusty' but it's excusable given that he's had next to no football for the past 4 months. Only thing I could fault him for is not tracking back enough. Other than that he looked a real danger on the attack.

Impressed, rusty, dribbling skill is v good him and Moses are so direct

[Muzchap 8,966]

Yeah if he gets a run of games he could be an awesome player for us!

Please Fat Lad play him more!

Seems that Marin has become the forgotten man at the club already...

Chelsea midfielder Marko Marin claims he is not targeting a return to Bundesliga and told kicker that, although a January loan move is possible, he wants to stay at the club.

Marin, 23, has failed to seal a place in the Blues’ first-team since arriving for around €8 million in the summer and the German press has linked him with a return to his first club Borussia Moenchengladbach.

However, the former German international scotched talks of a move back to the Bundesliga and told kicker: “I have not held any talks. Returning to Bundesliga is not an issue - currently.”

Marin could yet still choose to leave Stamford Bridge on loan during the winter transfer period, but asserted his desire to stay and fight for his place.

“If I have the feeling, I’d get more games somewhere else and continue my development, a loan deal could be thinkable. On condition of Chelsea wanting that,” he added.

“I have not thought about leaving in the winter. I am of the opinion I am in good hands here. Therefore I will fully concentrate on Chelsea. And I believe the club would not just let me leave.

“It seems to be the case that it is my call [to leave or not]. I’d have to make the first step. Currently I am not thinking about that. I have signed for five years. To question everything after five months, and three months of injury, makes no sense.”

Really do feel sorry for him. Has recovered from his injury but yet to be given much chance to play. Hopefully, he'll get more of those in 2013.

I did say to you on twitter he'd make 10 appearances max this season haha!

[Kieran. 6,317]

He'll get his chance when Moses goes to ACoN.

[Jase 43,479]

That would just put unnecessary pressure on him. If other players are getting consistent chances to start games, then why can't Marin get the same? The amount of game time he'll get should not be dependent on what he does in just 1-2 opportunities.

You have obviously jinxed it!!

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Looks like he will end up like Zhirkov, an injury before the season starts and all of a sudden managers hesitate using them due to being accustomed to other players (e.g Moses)

agree it doesn't seem fair but it seems to be how it happens with us
