MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Great news, Mikel is better as back up for Matic atm.A pivot of Romeu and Matic inspires more confidence than one with Mikel and Matic though, which can best be described as pointless.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Needs a full season playing somewhere which is a shame because it leaves us with Mikel who is unflushable proving hard to sell. Sets it up next year for a context between Romeu, Chalobah and possibly Loftus-Cheek for a spot in midfield.Whatever happens his transfer value will probably increase by next summer at the very least.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Whatever happens his transfer value will probably increase by next summer at the very least. Assuming he stays away from injury and earns starting spot. Another Valencia loan and he'll most probably be sold cheap next summer (not that he did badly there, but was just desperately unlucky).

Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 found himHahaha its probably the only bad bit of business his done since taking over so I will let him pass on this one. But seriously we need to get rid of Mikel for the sake of his own career which has stagnated at 26, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 A pivot of Romeu and Matic inspires more confidence than one with Mikel and Matic though, which can best be described as pointless. Mikel is Matic's back up, we don't need to play him next to Matic unless somehow we find that Cesc, MVG and Ramires are out injured which is very, very unlikely. Mikel is a better back up option than Romeu because he's ahead of him in his development - he's already the final product, whilst Romeu needs as many games as possible to aid his development. As it stands right now Mikel is also the better player IMO, Romeu is a bit overhyped on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickpassnmove 924 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 At this point, Chelsea fans better hope that Matic, vanGinkel, Oscar and Fab all stay healthy. Jobi will never speed-up our build-up play.I don't think Romeu is good enough under pressure, but Chelsa are still very thin on quality in center midfield. This club needs rid of Mikel and Torres badly...... (Moses and Marin too). zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Moses and Marin too).How the hell is a midfield (for two (or three) positions) of Fabregas, Matic, Ramires, MVG, Mikel + one of the youngsters thin? That's 5/6 players for 2/3 positions. Not thin at all. Jype and Sir Mikel OBE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which isn't wrong.Any significant injury to Matic and our CM drops a huge level in quality and I don't think we'd get near the title. sherry33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOM is probably 5th choice as it stands right now, so it still makes his comment strange because it's not like Romeu improved much on the 'quality' aspect of our midfield.

carefreeluke 27 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 One of the few beneficial things about AVB's time with us was that he did give some of the younger players a chance. Romeu was class for a period in that string of games he got for us that season but his injury problems haven't helped him at all. Was quickly becoming one of my favourite players that season, then if I remember correctly he got injured and wasn't the same. Didn't see much of him at Valencia but I hope he can be injury free for a while, I do see a lot of potential with him. Van Ginkel is slowly growing some fans but Romeu was even better back then. Wish him all the best with Stuggart. Hopefully he'll come back to us, having made a lot of progress and fully fit as well. zolayes and TheIceMan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
