2009-2010: he was given the invisible tag. He overcame that.
2010-2011: they said he would find no room in Delneri's team with the amazing Melo & Aquilani around.
2011-2012: he was supposed to be a casualty of Conte's 4-4-2 and would be benched by Vidal and Pirlo.
2012-2013: the challenge is to keep his WC form and carry it into Europe, while avoiding being benched by (lol) Asamoah.
2009-2010: - he's still got that tag - Just listen to the commentary in the Euro matches. I remember one commentator saying you don't realise he's on the pitch till he pops up and does something every now and then.
2010-2011: lol a DN team and a team that had no left half - if a LM was available it would've been bye bye Marchi - anyone was needed as a fill-in - Melo being preferred as the CM speaks volumes of Marcisio's in any case.
2011-2012: If we did indeed play 4-4-2 Vidal would have surely been the preferred option as he just does a lot more than Marchi all over the pitch. Credit to Marchi for retaining his starting spot as he played well for many games, but was also invisible for just as many others.
If, to get Cavani, Marchi has to go the other way, then that's a no brainer as we've got plenty of solid options in MF.
