Profile and stats.

It should be understood he is the exact same height as David Silva and Juan Mata.

Credit to Emenalo or whoever was involved in that transfer. Very smart timing, before the Euros because his price could be atleast twice bigger after that. <img src='http://forum.talkchelsea.net/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /><br />

"Chelsea is my dream club. I'm happy I get this chance. It's a big challenge" - Marko Marin

"Tottenham were interested in me but I chose Chelsea" - Marko Marin

Top guy!

[Death B4 Dishonour 32]

Good buy for 8M, but two things worry me:

Had very bad season, only 1 goal and 3 assists...Previous seasons, he had 10-14 assists regulary. Question if he will become top again?

Second thing is that he is not strong player. Difficult to see him play in PL with all flair and speed he has, becouse english football is much stronger.

Anyway, welcome to CFC and hope he becomes great. That means, we wont go for Hazard? And who decided to get him? Roman or RDM?

Out with injury, only played 15 games. Explain's his stats this season

You can't blame him though, that German squad will be packed with class.

No-one knew we were interested, nothing in the media, it is done quickly and more importantly before the EURO. Brilliant piece of work. And Marin's first quotes are legendary. Stunning.

Looks like he plays most of the time on the right wing, so this could mean more time for Sturridge in the centre

Actually from what I have heard, read, and seen so far, he is more of a left winger. Has played as a CAM, but he is not that good as a LW.

This season's appearances have been limited due to his injury.

One thing that worries me is his height, but on the other side it can be a big +

Absolutely, the number of exciting young players they have is astounding. Marin, Reus, Özil, Müller, Kroos, Götze, Draxler, Schürrle, Hummels, Holtby and the Bender brothers Mad.

All those players save for Hummels and the Bender twins are capable of playing on the Wings. Though, I would never put Kroos there as he is too slow!

If the Germans don't win the Euros and the next World Cup I will be very surprised.

Every signing is good, but I am bit concerned since we are english club and we are used to play ''hard'' game. But with players like Mata, Marin, KDB we will have very fragile team. Dont get me wrong, but for example, Mata did nothing against Barca.

Along this flair players, we need few of more stronger build, but still with ball control. Also too many young players means very unexperienced team, and that is dangerous when facing difficult/important games. Just look at Arsenal, they have too much talent, and they won noting.

I say keep balance between talented (19-23) and more experienced (24-28) players.

However now we have kid, I just want he will PLAY.

Some muscle would be nice too. Hulk has enough muscle for three Drogbas.

No one is really that experienced in big games, but they are all very talented. Simillar to Spain current team.

So Uncle Harry,Still players Prefer to come to you instead of chelsea? your team is better ahh?!

Apparently Bale will leave if they don't get into the CL!

[Spike 12,049]

Schweinsteiger, Neuer, Lahm, Podolski, Muller, Ozil, Gomez, and a few others all have big game experience.

Just the right kind of signing that Chelsea need to be looking for the rebuilt. Versatile (can play both flanks and center), pacey and importantly not much money spend along with quick transfer. I m not sure how did he perform in the last few season but his addition i believe is more of a squad player because he can be used as an offensive player anywhere upfront.

Great piece of news!
