Marko Marin

[Sovieticus 743]

This is one of these loans that is good for everybody... I hope I won't see him again with the Chelsea shirt tho.

Who knows? What if he goes to Spain excels, comes back next year and gets a lot more games? Only a possiblity but hey you never know. Hes only 24 or 25 or something who knows.

By excels he has to score/assists at least 20 goals to be even considered along our midfield. Hazard/Mata/Oscar are guaranteed to be ahead, then there is Schurrle, Kevin and Moses. Basically his career here is finished unless he suddenly become one of the best player in Liga next season.

Good loan from the club's point of view. Gets him off the wage bill and can really only do his value good because he's got to be virtually worthless in the transfer market at this point in time. I've said it before but his career here was pretty much fucked when we won the CL, qualified for last season's competition and then were able to bring in Hazard. Not the biggest waste of money, but simply became a pointless transfer when things went our way.

Good luck to him though.

IMO with the attacking talent we have he won't have a future with us regardless of how well he does on loan. He could be used however as a bargaining chip if he does impress to attract other players.

Anyhow, good luck to him.

Marin....

wish you well and good luck with your loan.

[yuvala 2,167]

Well thats the end of his Chelsea career.

Pretty sure we're never going to see him again ..

Good luck to him :blue scalf:

[Strike 6,968]

Well this was sad but given that we signed him for 6-7 mil, I'm hopeful we can recoup most of it. Good luck to him

Expected him to get loaned out and great job by the club to find him a loan at Seville who just lost Navas. This just seems like a great move for everyone. Hope he can stay away from injury so we could sell him next summer.

You won't see me complaining

It's not that great for Sevilla if it's Navas' replacement they are looking for to be honest, it's like replacing Hazard with SWP, a bit harsh I know but.....

Anyway, good luck, Marko.

Yes but they were never going to afford someone of Navas' quality to replace him. They win because they didn't have to pay anything and Marco is on 20k/wk only.

Marco is on 20k/wk only.

He must be the cheapest 24 year old the club has had in years. How did he get screwed that badly?

Well we could either be cynical and say his agent screwed him over or try to be kind and say he probably wanted to come here real bad.

Wonder how many years he had on his contract at Bremen. The seemingly slightly high transfer fee may be related to the ridiculously low wage. If it's not the boy got terribly screwed (in the context of being a Chelsea player near his prime).

why did we buy him in the first place?

he's useful interms of depth and cover. but he cant really contirbute anything. we are just going to keep on loaning him out andend up selling him for 3 mill. shame.

We bought him as an 'insurance policy' in case we didn't get Champions League football in the 2011/12 season. But we eventually did, got Hazard, Oscar etc and that suddenly led to Marin being the 2nd choice in the squad. His injuries didn't help also.

[bushman 2,043]

How did Chelsea buy him in the first place ? No one knows. Someone had a hangover, then.

He was prone to injuries, at least I had read about it & sure enough he got injured.

It´s sad, but I believe, his career is in jeopardy.

[Jase 43,479]

To make fun of him ? Not really, but he is a joke.

Ironically, it's post like that which explains why this thread has gone up to 63 pages compared to the other regular first teamers. Granted he wasn't good at all, had injuries and all that but to call him a joke?!
