Marco van Ginkel

[Spike 12,049]

What about Marco van Ginkel for the midfield? 20 years old with over 100 appearances for Vitesse and 1 cap for Oranje, so he a bit of experience notched up. Probably not the most ideal signing for most members (he is too young, will cramp up all the other youth prospects, DE BRUYNE OMG!!!, etc) but football is a funny sport and it's hard to predict youth. Playing for Vitesse practically makes him a Chelsea player anyway...

i would prefer kevin strootman for psv but i have heard ginkel is good.

He'd be an amuahhzing signing, not sure he'd get the game time though.

Haha, two midfielders from my comptetition.

Marco van Ginkel is a huge talent. He's movements are great, and has a lot of a born playmaker. This year Vitesse is growing and growing and pushing my loved team of the table. Marco didn't score this year, but years before a lot for a midfielder. 10/11 16 11/12 15 12/13 9.

Kevin Strootman is from my team. PSV Eindhoven. Kevin Strootman is the new Mark van Bommel. He's a beast. A winner. His shooting is fantastic and what a great guy to have in your team.

If i may choose between Marco or Kevin, certainly Strootman. He's an animal.

Chelsea are set to make Marco van Ginkel the first signing of Jose Mourinho's second spell at Stamford Bridge. (@DuncanCastles)

Chelsea believe that the 20-year-old Marco van Ginkel is capable of holding down a midfield spot straight away. (via @DuncanCastles)

Is he a holding midfielder (dm) or a creative one?

From what i have heard he is a box to box midfielder.

If it happens, I deserve rep for calling it.

I'd much rather see Chelsea go after Strootman.

van Ginkel has talent, there's no question about that...but we need a more experienced player in our midfield, someone that is capable of leading the team.

You'd deserve it if you hadn't created about a dozen transfer threads.

Okay so he's not a player for our pivot in a 4-2-3-1. May be we can take this as a sign we will adopt the 4-3-3 next season
