Marco van Ginkel

[Special Juan 27,429]

Just been taken off, good game for the lad, more minutes in the bag.

[The only place to be 11,313]

Yep, looks in good knick and will get a whole summer to get fit. Really hope he can hit the ground running and contribute in a way he wasn't able to last year.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Sounds like he had a good game. Excited for him. Always liked him, always showed a great attitude.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Would rather give him a chance than spend 65 million on Pogba

[The Skipper 20,593]

Would've definitely had a great chance at starting for the senior team if he just wasn't injured, especially with Strootman out. Real shame.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Sounds like he had a good game then, captain too? That's a great comeback in its own right, let's hope Mourinho acknowledges.

Strootman can control a game, Van Ginkel can't do that yet.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Strootman can control a game, Van Ginkel can't do that yet.

Yes, but he would've started next to Clasie, who can control a game.

How have you both come to the conclusion that MvG can't control a game???

yes, maybe last nighst game vs Scotland was only an u21 game but he ran the show. With match fitness and confidence he has everything to control a game.

This kid got his 50m worth to prove coming season

[Madmax 9,219]

I hope that the 3rd CM spot doesn't go to Tiago. MvG will just be this season's Lukaku in that case.

I've seen Marco in his Vitesse days + for Holland and I can comfortably say he's not there yet in terms of truly consistently dictating the pace of a game but he can get there. Very complete player though, but we'll see how he's reacted to his injury next season.

What I was trying to say: Van Ginkel has room to grow and that he's not at Strootman's level of dictating the pace of a game.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Sure Mou has plans for him right? He bought him afterall.

Not sure about that; thinking Chelsea bought MvG

He was in charge...

Definitely had Mourinho's input. He also approved of the Schurrle signing. There are quotes if you want to find them.

[different level 1,056]

To be honest at some point I had completely forgotten about him. Unfortunately he had a similar fate with Romeu with a season long injury and I expect him to be loaned just like Oriol, without many prospects for the future at The Bridge.
