TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 fuck sake,,why we must keep essien and mikel rather than to give chance to him at least in pre-season in Asia and US???if we can't get De rossi now,,our defending line will destroy us next season...Because pre-season is completely and utterly meaningless. Marin was probably our best player in the pre-season last year and our worst when it mattered. Pre-season is simply about building fitness for the players and getting them a little bit of a chance to get used to each other. I know people always get worked up about who looks great or whatever, but it really doesn't matter at all. Literally. Nobody wins a job based on a good performance against a Malaysian side or something. The Skipper, Tomo and Peace. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Good choice by the board seeing as we already have Essien, Lampard, Mikel, Van Ginkel and Rami as central midfielders. Muzchap and TorontoChelsea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzchap 8,966 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Good choice by the board seeing as we already have Essien, Lampard, Mikel, Van Ginkel and Rami as central midfielders.Agree Choulo... After his horrific injury he needs time to play and out of the spotlight, he's bound to be a little nervous of it happening again...I personally think this is a very smart move, let him get his confidence and match sharpness back away from SB under the spotlight and then re-integrate next season...Couldn't have planned it better myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Great move, considering he'd be 3rd choice especially if we bring in another DM. He needs all the game time he can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic weeds 446 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Oriol Romeu has today (Friday) joined Valencia on a season-long loan.The midfielder has appeared 33 times, scoring once, for the Blues. He is a Spanish Under-21 international and also played at last summer's Olympic Games.Romeu, 21, made nine appearances for Chelsea last season, but missed the second half of the campaign due to injury.In his first season, following his switch from Barcelona in the summer of 2011, Romeu had appeared more regularly, earning a run of 12 consecutive matches over the Christmas and New Year period.We wish Oriol well in his homeland, and you will be able to keep up with his progress here on the official Chelsea website.

nachikethas 1,154 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Best of luck oriol. Go get third spot and copa del Rey if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I don't think he has a future at Chelsea. We will eventually sell him to this club or some other Spanish club. I see more chances of Ake, or Chalobah for the future then this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 i'm asuming this was at a pre-season game? They didn't surely all turn up just to see Romeu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Should be a good move for him. Be very interesting to see how it develops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a normal thing in Spain for fans to just turn up and see the unveiling of a new player acquired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Even player on loan? Fair play, I guess lol!Think a fair bit turned out for Piazon's unveiling at Malaga last season too IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Glad for him, his potential is massive and he's so young, if he develops well, he could be the answer to our pivot worries as he could have 10 years there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
