£30 Million??

And scintillating performances? I believe he was in lots of people's Bundesliga flop XI of the season

On that topic, wouldn't mind us switching our attention to Mario Götze

30 is a bit much. 5-15 million and I'd sign him myself. I think he's a fantastic player who lacks consistency. He was immense against Spurs and Samp in the UCL.

That article is awfully written, he's a German not a Serb.

well, both his parents are serbs

Called him a Serbian international. I'm pretty sure he's got more than a dozen caps from Germany.

Hes of Serbian ethnicity. Left for Germany from Bosnia when the war started. He was an excellent player prior to this year, but had a bad season at Werder. Definitly not worth 30 million euros however....

Do you have that kind of money? :o Are you Abramovic in disguise?

8-12 mill sounds about right. He was good in U21 for Germany a few years back. Zhirkov was 18mill and he was an Euro 2008 all-star(?)

He is the type of player we need though. Fast-paced winger with a bag of tricks.

Although it is left to be seen which formation AVB uses...

According to Kicker, he is in negotiations to join us.

Sky Germany have said that he has already has his medical. 7.8 mill is quality.

Thats EURO as well.

It's doing the rounds on Twitter... - he's even trending!

Huzzah! A winger AND a German - that's (hopefully) speed, creativity and a good penalty taker!

... I know little about him though. Rumours Lukaku to go the other way on loan.

Sounds like a very decent deal for the price quoted. Would be a decent squad player to have in the team.

confirmed

Wikipedia doesn't hang around.

Wonder if that means we've given up on Hazard... of course, that's assuming we were even interested.

Well, that was out of the blue.

If it's 8m as they say, it's an awesome deal in every aspect (price, talent, position).

Glad we haven't paid way over the odds as usual.

Sky reporting we have signed 23 year old Marko Marin from Werder Bremen for aprox 8m. Had his medical and all!

Out of the blue really!

Wonder how much input Robbie had on this one.

Do not know too much about the lad, any write ups on him from my fellow blues?

This seems to be a great signing. :)

Just you tubed him and found Marko Marin - the german Messi and thought wow must be good

then realised it was when he were 19 and now hes 23 so musnt of impressed not to have the media hype of Gotze, Hazard, Erikksen, Lucas ect

is he useful? i hope im wrong and hes absoloute class

Been confirmed by Chelsea too.

Hope that isn't the case. Marin is a decent player and a good addition to the squad but Hazard looks a level above him.

I might add that Lukaku is heading to Werder on loan as a part of the deal.
