Marko Marin

[Yeboii 1,844]

So unfair to him to say these things, he only gets the chance when people like Bertrand play. Im sure he would play better if he would get more starts (and maybe starts where the team has played well)

[ja1 1,166]

The likes of Bertrahd are far more useful to the squad than Marin. Laughable how we went from Kalou and Sturridge to this guy.

[karaclouds 47]

Kalou was comedy but at least he was there to show us his comic talents. Where was Marin today? We need these guys to help us when our first team players aren't there.

Clearly comedy is not his forte but I'm sure Marin will find his own talents some time....juggling maybe?!

[Ollie 4,400]

The only talent he showed yesterday was how to go invisible in front of over 20,000 people. He should work with Dynamo.

[Santiago. 1,500]

Kalou at a time was the best impact sub in the league. Can't count how many times he saved our arse. Marin offers us very little.

[Muzchap 8,966]

Lol so it's all Marins fault then is it? Not the shit defending? Not the save Cech should have made?

Yup - pick a player and play the blame game - brilliant!

Marin might have gone missing, but so did 10 other players, lets not forget that!!!!

Coupled with his minimal game time lately - just wow at the comments...

[ja1 1,166]

Also Marin played with Mata and Hazard against Nordsjælland, Danish pub team, still did nowt. He is playing with our second XI because that's his level. If he plays badly with them then that won't get him anywhere. He needs to take those chances to show why he should have a bigger role in the squad (and training which I doubt he does well in considering RDM and Rafa both don't rate him). What do people expect, for him to get whisked into the starting XI with our best team and only then we can judge him?

[bushman 2,043]

Marin was injured. Some excuse should be granted. However, the club knew very well that Marin was prone to injuries.

Despite of it, he was signed. Every time I see him on the pitch I see nothing at all. Perhaps, some passing occasionally.

I´d say, pack his bags & send him back to Germany one way ticket.

[Dylan_91 90]

I think everybody is being harsh. He has hardly played this season and is expected to come in and be amazing. He got an assist yesterday and didnt do much wrong, just didnt get the ball much as southampton were dominating. He did more than moses and oscar yesterday and people are saying they'd rather have Kalou haha. Get a grip and stop looking for scapegoats.

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

No offense but do people ever stop to think that the reason he's "hardly playing" is because he simply isn't good enough ?

Also if he needs to play regularly to perform well then we might aswell sell him cause he isn't going to.

[Leif 6,006]

With all the money we have we should have bought Reus. Or Draxler. Or even Holtby. Or.. anyone else from the Bundesliga. It's not an exaggeration what I'm about to say, brace yourselves. We bought Marin when he was probably the worst attacker in the league. The absolute worst.

2 or 3 seasons ago I would have bit your hand off for the rumoured price we got him for though! He really was good when he was younger.

[Leif 6,006]

German papers saying Werder will re-sign him for £2m.

He was really good when younger...

He is still a good player now - he needs game time, that's all. There's very few players that can turn it on from the subs bench - Hernandez being one of them.

Moses has also looked shit since his run of games ended and he's been rotated...

Rotation just does not work with all players - it's that simple...

£2m is a good price and I wish him luck - I'm sure he will be playing regularly and then we'll see what we missed out on

[juko 19]

yes but the problem is they can't play all together and when you are a professionnal you has to adapt and even if you have only 10 minutes,you must perform at your best.

[bushman 2,043]

All players like to play for 90 minutes.

Is Marin good enough to be put in as the starter ?

We all know, he is not. Was he given a proper chance to show his stuff ? Perhaps, that´s debatable.

So far, what I have seen or rather not seen much, he is not good enough. Money wasted on him, I feel.

[Weckerz 3,781]

I'd pick Gervinho over Marin in a heartbeat, nuff said

[Peace. 4,352]

No no no. Saying "he is the scapegoat" as an excuse to defend players, is too much used around there. That becomes ridiculous — even more when you realise that nobody is making a scapegoat out of anyone.

Who said that Marin should be, I quote, "being amazing" ? Nobody. Who's blaming Marin for our bad performance ? Then again, nobody.

What people are saying is that he is not good enough to hang around there any longer. It's not a knee-jerk reaction because he was poor yesterday. It's not because of one game. It's not because we do need a scapegoat. It's only because of accumulation of factors, this guy has "not good enough" written all over his forehead. It's as simple as the sky is high.

First off, I am certainly not the only one who, around 2009-10, heard good things about him, like he was the german Messi blabla, and then from this point never heard about him again ? The concensus, from people following the Bundesliga, is that ever since 2010 he has done jack fuck. It seems that Werder fans were actually happy to get rid of him. And, even before we officially signed him, they were articles questioning the sanity of ours behind that move. Both di Matteo and Benitez snubs/snubbed him. Both of them had rather Bertrand or Benayoun playing than Marin. And it's not like as these two players were fabulous on the wing... That speaks volumes, isn't it ?

What do you need more to understand he's not good enough ? Yeah, he needs playing time and bla bla bla. Really ? This guy's already 24 years-old. When you show striclty nothing at this age, then you're more than likely to never make it. But yeah, he obviously needs more game. The guy has played something like 124 games in Bundesliga. He has nearly played 200 professional games. And since 2010 — to put it in other words, since he stopped to show good things — he has played 55 games in Bundesliga and 66 games overall.

And finally... Yeah, the whole team was bad yesterday. But did you see him just one thing for which you could say "wow, he has talent" ? No. One could reply me that yeah he has an assist. But having an assist from a dead ball means nothing regarding the quality of a player. This guy has no stand-out quality. He just runs around like an headless chiken. I might be harsh but that's how the truth is.

Everything points to the fact that he is not good enough.

We have been ripped off by Breme on this move — certainly because of a lack of knowledge of the German football.

[zolayes 14,489]

I am afraid he is our worst winger since SWP .".....no he is much worse than SWP in his time so far I have seen barely a handful

Of useful moves from him . Get rid he will never deliver
