Marko Marin

[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.

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.

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

He did deliver the cross for JT to score yesterday

One. Cross is only enough for a crucifixion and he was a day late

[robdog 2,084]

maybe Marin is a Vampire & he hates crosses

[zolayes 14,489]

No that's Torres he hides when the crosses come in

[robdog 2,084]

him & Ross Turnbull

[Waterfall 893]

Simply not Chelsea-level. For an insurance signing, he did his job. It'd be better for both the club and the player to part.
