Marco Marin

[Xherdan]

Any Germans posters or people who follow the Bundesliga? I have seen a couple of gladbach's games this season and have been very impressed. Very good on the ball.

Great name

[Red House]

He's a stronger Pacheco.

Have you watched him regularly?

Have you watched him regularly?

 

Well, a couple of games this season plus the weekly Bundesliga highlights. I'm just using the Pacheco example (well the Pacheco of last season at least), as he has exactly the same style of dribbling, always using that little drop of the shoulder and going exactly where the defenders hate it. But he does shield the ball much better then Dani although not really taller, and has a much more powerful shot in him, scored a great free-kick last Saturday.

 

I've been watching a fair bit of German football of late, and there are quite a few young talents emerging back there. If you get the opportunity to watch Hoffenheim, don't miss out on Carlos Eduardo and that Nigerian lad with about four name, Chinnedum Edu Obasi Ogbuke I think. There's also Dortmund's Hajnal, Schalke's Howedes and Bayern's Kroos.

[Xherdan]

The standard of football can be quite poor, certainly from a defensive perspective, so forward can look deceptively good, just look at our silky skilled voronin.

 

I can see the Pacheco comparison certainly in terms of their dribbling styles. I have seen him play on a couple of occasions this season, hence my asking for other opinions. Should be interesting to see how he develops throughout the rest of the season.

he scored a cracking free kick at the weekend.

This is both his goals and all round play from last weekend. Its a camera phone job off the TV but watchable nonetheless.

 

He seems to be a good lad.

 

By the way it seems as if I spelt his name wrong, its Marko Marin.

[Xherdan]

Here I am suggesting Marin in 2009. There are some clips etc for those who are not as awesome as me.

[Scott_M]

My old man watches the german football quite regularly and has been banging the drum about Marin for quite a while.

 

On the otherhand, my Dad also likes N'gog, Hesky, Doyle and Davis.

 

Go figure.

[Welsh]

I had him and Alexis Sanchez down as the ones who would boss the World Cup, Marin was never given a chance, could benefit us though as his price would have rocketed had he played.

 

Great player.

[Woo]

He's had a really poor season, although so have Bremen. However, I watched them beat Dortmund 2-0 at the weekend, and he, and Bremen, were really good. Marin should have had at least a hat trick, though.

 

Wouldn't be disappointed if we signed him, but there are better players around, especially considering he'd cost a fair wedge.

[Xherdan]

Certain parts of the media are suggesting a fee of circa £10m Woo.

[Trucker Paddy]

Any Bundesliga players were signing hopefully we can get as many of Poulsen Degen and Jovanavic off our books as possible

I'd be surprised if he cost more then £14m, (£10m seems way too low) even at that price it's a good buy.

I watch a fair bit of German football too and I think Marin would do a decent job for us. Plus he is quite young still at 22/23 so is not the finished article. His performances this season as mentioned in this thread have been not as good as past seasons but I think that is down to Bremen having a poor season.

 

I agree with Red House comments about Chinedu Obasi from Hoffenheim and I reckon he would also do a job for us. I think Carlos Eduardo moved to Rubin Kazan too but he would of been immense for us!

[WaltonRed]

Ribery is there for the taking

[Guest TK-421]

Moon Over Marin, something to work with if we sign him (Dead Kennedys cover).

After the hat trick on his debut:

 

YOU'VE BEEN MARINATED

[William_Ulsterman]

 

repped

[William_Ulsterman]

Ribery is there for the taking to the glue factory to be melted down

 

fixed.

 

he's been dogshit since the paedo charges. Do we really want a paedo on the team? and fugly one at that.

[Carradona]

Is it Munain (or something like that) who plays for Bilbao?

 

I haven't seen him play, but heard very good stuff from a couple of the lads at footy (who watch Bilbao) last night about him.

 

Rumours that we are interested too.

 

Someone fire up a youtube clip of him. If he doesn't beat 6 people before scoring an overhead kick, he just simple isn't good enough.

[Guest PurpleNose]

Muniain is fucking brilliant.

 

Unfortunately all of Spain are aware of this.

 

He'd cost twelvty zillion.

[Carradona]

Thankfully we've got twelvty-one zillion.
