CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Great to hear. He's still young with a lot of potential and the worst case scenario is that his value keeps increasing.The contract doesn't necessarily mean that he's staying, but along with what he said and the fact that he was the only outfield player scheduled to play 70 minutes last night, I think it's safe to say that Jose is at least evaluating whether to keep him or not.

Special Juan 28,323 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Not fussed either way, he's better than Mikel IMO and if he is moved on and Thiago is brought in then fine. The right areas have been addressed for me already, anything else is a bonus. The Mak and RoyalBlues 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Well he is not a kid anymore, if Jose decide to offer him new contract, that means he has some plan for Romeu in the squad. Couldn't see him get another loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Good news IMO, as a Mikel replacement for the backup DM role we could do a lot worse.Romeu's wages are not that high so keeping him around won't cost the club a lot of money but in case he really manages to put the injuries behind him and starts fulfilling his huge potential he could end up being a very valuable player for us for little money, compared to what keeping Mikel let alone signing a player like Khedira would cost us. And if over the course of the season he proves not to be up for it, then there's still Tiago whose arrival looks imminent.Had Romeu been sold now with less than a year left on his contract and big question marks looming over his development as a player he would not have gone for much.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Mikel is definitely off IMO. Mou has plans for him. Don't forget, if needed he *can* play CB also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Love this news and I really hope he stays this season with us and act as an understudy to Matic. Nero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't see him get another loan.He's the same age as Oscar and Hazard, which is surprising to me. I thought he was a lot older.

hjperdeath 2,226 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Loan in the EPL seems far fetched but it would be a good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pHaRaOn 2,131 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 He has potential to play alongside Matic in the starting line up. I hope he'll be injury free. Mufassir08 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didierforever 7,349 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 seems like he has impressed jose enough to give him a new lifeline. cant see him having much playtime here so expect a loan spell. lets see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Term-X 7,891 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Don't get too excited, as mentioned by TOPTB.. his contract was running out in 2015, this new deal stops him leaving for free. The only place to be and Tomo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Smart move by Jose. He knows that Romeu has the talent and instead of selling him now for a small fee,he could go for a bigger amount if he has a good loan spell. Also there might be a chance of him playing for us in the future so I guess its not a bad deal. Sidzeret 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 He has been so unlucky with injuries. I wish that would stop so he can progress to the level I was anticipating him to reach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
