Will he ever play or are we looking at another Marin situation?

I am pretty sure he will play. Probably won't be starting in the B2B/pivot role (depending on formation) in EPL play right away but I think by the end of the season he could be getting some starts.

If we do use a 4-3-3 mostly, then we would have a lot of depth at the DM role (Mikel, Essien, Romeu, maybe Ake or Chalobah) and the AM role (Oscar, de Bruyne, Mata/Hazard can but I think they will both play in the front 3) but in the 3rd midfield spot we will only really have Van Ginkel, Ramires, and Lampard, assuming Van Ginkel doesn't go on loan, so I think he for sure can play a lot this season. Obviously this is assuming we don't buy another midfielder and send MvG on loan though, which I don't think we will do.
