Werder completes Marin signing
Soccer Betting Lines
06/25/2009 - Bremen, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Werder Bremen has finally completed the signing of Germany Under-21 international Marko Marin.
The 20-year-old midfielder has signed a four-year contract to officially seal his $10.6 million transfer from Moenchengladbach.
Gladbach were reported to be holding out for a fee in the region of $16 million for their prize asset but decided to sell as Marin's contract only had 12 months left to run.
The two clubs had been at loggerheads since last month but the transfer has now been completed.
Marin has been signed to help fill the midfield playmaker void created by the departure of Brazil star Diego to Juventus since the end of the last Bundesliga season.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
