An agreement has been made between ourselves and Werder Bremen to sign German international winger Marko Marin. http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2752630,00.html It's good news but seems strange since we don't have a manager....
Very good player, has been inconsistent this season though. But for the price being reported it's not much of a gamble
We have been linked in the past, saw him play a couple of times and looks like the kind of player we need and as you said not too big a gamble for the price being thrown about!
Thought the same as you Drogs, who is making these signings? Looks a class player though to be fair but was confirmed unofficially about a year ago. This is the way forward, signing good young players on low wages for lowish fees not splashing out £50m or so and offering players £150k a week.
Well there were rumours that Bremen slapped a £30m price tag on him a year or two ago! It's a wonder why we have bought him so cheap? Is it the last year of his contract or something?
Very good singing. Hopefully will have the good chemistry with Ramires and Mata, and De Bruyne in the future.
£8m? Shit. He's a good player. Worth a lot more than that, in my opinion. The only problem for you is that he won't add any width to your side. He reminds me of Modric when he used to play off the left wing. Good replacement for Malouda, I'd have thought. Very annoying.
I still think we will get Hazard if we manage to get top 4 or win the CL. He will add more width to our side.
Rumour is Lukaku will be going on loan to Bremen as part of the deal though can't see anything to confirm that. Does that mean we will definitely be signing another striker? Or possibly giving Drogs another year?
Think this a great signing for you. Since 09/10 he's got 24 assists, and only two bundesliga players have more. He hasn't got an attitude like a lot of the £30m+ players would bring, and if you can sign Hazard then your midfield will be fantastic. He's the kind of young player you should have been signing when you were on top. I'm looking forward to watching you play next season, you should be very entertaining.
