Marco van Ginkel

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

He does drive forward from the midfield and has very good movement. Gets himself into very nice positions. Passing is pretty good but has to improve if he wants to play in the midfield.

Saw him yesterday, it seems like he has alot to improve. He is a talent, but not a starter for us right away.

Its the same thing a few Netherlands fans told me about him and they watched him in Vitesse.

Loanee next season like De Bruyne don't you think ?

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Yes he should be loaned,We need a world class player in midfield who can compete against the likes of dembele,yaya and carrick.

According to de Telegraaf: Mourinho has no desire to loan out van Ginkel. He sees Marco as a replacement for Lampard. #cfc #chelsea

Haven't seen a massive amount of this guy and it's clear he's not the finished article, but he reminds me a fair bit of Ballack. Big frame but nicely composed, plays with his head up and has a nice touch. He seems like the type of player who can link the defence with the attack either with his passing or bringing the ball out himself and seems to have a nice timing when arriving in the box.

If we're going to get rid of Mikel then we'll need another body so loaning him out might not be necessary. Nice to see us continuing the policy of going after young guys with massive upside though, and using our links with foreign clubs to our benefit.

Does the club really mean it with all the talk about youngsters etc ? I am pleasantly surprised at Mourinho's comments about the youth but I am still reluctant to fully believe them.

What, so:

Oscar Van Ginkel

De Bruyne Mata Hazard

I have no idea if Van Ginkel is good enough defensively to be the sole DM.

Awkward moment when people want Oscar to play CDM.

He's not a DM.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

He's not a DM.

Some people are saying he is, some not. Can someone just definitvely tell me what type of player he is for god's sake!?

He's more of a creator, he needs a DM next to him. I've seen him played on the flanks before as well. Playing him as the DM would be suicidal. It's like playing Josh McEachran as your DM.

He wouldn't replace Mikel at all, he needs a player like Mikel next to him. He's a tall lad but that's it.

Yea ..

Couldn't he play next to Ramires though?

He's like Modric.

Awkward moment when someone doesn't realise that's where his future is at this club.
