Marko Marin

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Kid has a big opportunity now

Take it Marin!

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Well I think he is useful as sub. He was cheap, is on low wages and is not angry with bench.

He is quality enough to get in game later and provide another option. We cant have Matas and Hazards on bench, it would ruin the chemistry.

Also as far as Marin performances go, our whole team is very unconsistent and we need to solve that first. We are already thin in rotating, Marin might not be starter, but he is more than good enough to come from bench.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

He'll get at least 3 starts now, due to Hazard's situation. If we end up selling him we must replace him. A Meireles/Essien situation is not needed.

With Gourlay and Bruck anything is possible...

A time machine for Maradona!?!?!?!

Like I said, anything...

You could have better taste though, Argentine????

Blue and white is much more aesthetically pleasing.

In my (less biased opinion) Argentian is heads above the best country for producing Fowards and Defensive Midfielders. Brazil however has more greats from all over the pitch.

Besides Javier Zanetti I don't think Argentina have ever had a world class defender! Haha!

I agree, but I prefer "second best players" all over the pitch than Messi, Aguero, Di Maria, Lavezzi, etc and no defense or keeper at all...

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Your chance. Come out with your preseason form or you stay permanently on the bench. Good luck

[magic weeds 446]

Wait, you mean you can send a player to play for another club and not pay his wages?! Quick, get me a phone... The board must know!

And pay his wages while he's there, just like Essien!

I think Real Madrid pay Essien's wages. I read somewhere that José convinced the board to pay Essien´s wages. and thats the reason the loan went through. I may be wrong anyway.

[Jase 43,479]

We needed something different last night. Someone that can provide width and a directness in attack and what did Benitez do?! Keep Marin on the bench and continue to play narrow and through the middle with Hazard, Oscar and Mata.

[different level 1,056]

Right now it looks like he will have his chance to be a starter in the FA cup tie and possibly in the two league matches next week (depends on the Hazards' red card outcome). Hopefully he will finally show some of what he did in Germany with Werder and Monchengladbach and deserve his nickname the German Messi (although I can't stand the real one )

Besides yesterday mata wasn't doing all that well ! I thought Marin would come on for Oscar/Mata

Marin had his chance Sunday. He blew it.

[DH1988 1,304]

Sorry not sure how he blew it, nobody played well on that rugby potato field, don't be a fool.

[Bacika 188]

That's just harsh on him. He played 45 min where we didn't create any chances and we played like amateurs on even more amateur pitch. So I don't,think anyone in the first half, when Marin played, deserved any praise, they were just awful... I hope he'll get more starts since Hazard is banned...patience folks...

[Muzchap 8,966]

Indeed - I mean Marin had one bad game after no consecutive starts - I'm pretty sure another Chelsea player has had 2 years of chances?

[Stingray 9,441]

OH SHUT UP!!!!

I would go for those colours any day. Lovely that green n yellow :-)
