He would not have played even if he was fit i have been following the bundes liga for over 10 years and he has not lived up to his potential. Because of that he hasnt been used a lot! The only season he played good was the one with ozil after that he has not played that well! What has to be said is that schaaf played him out of position. But marin is a player that has lots of potential but has not been showing it over the last 2 years. That is why the media in germany and switzerland were so suprised that chelsea bought him. Chelsea normaly buys players that have been playing for there clubs not like marin. In germany most people dont expect him to make it here but somehow people in england that have not seen much of him are convinced. But hey he has potential and could make it but just dont expect it!
He did not win the player of the year award because he did not play at all! How can you compare him to mata and ramires they were starters at CL clubs. Marin did not play for a werder team that did not get in to the euro league!
I know how old he is and what does my opinion have to do with fantasy football? And calling me stupid wont make your point better and i dont think i am the only one who thinks he is too old! So get over it and paying large wages and 6 mil for a player that has had a bad season and is 30+ cant be better than getting debuchy for the same amount and saving on his wages. Debuchy had a very good season and good euros! It surprises me how you cant see that. Most probably he is brazilian that is why you want him!

I have the same feeling we have to buy a rw (hulk) a CM (modric,witsel) and a rb! To play for the title! Dont think marin will be more than a squad player, he did not get much playing time at werder and i dont expect him to get a lot at chelsea!
