Oriol Romeu

[Clevemayer 764]

if that description of the barca-side sweets him well, he is our new essien, welcome mate...

You can't compare Arsenal and us though, titles and huge wages are flying around the Bridge while Arsenal is slowly turning into a joke and not into a serious club.

Reports in Barcelona have suggested Oriol has cost the Blues €5m (£4.35million) up front, although that could eventually rise to €10m. According to Barcelona's website the deal includes a buy-back clause, which would allow them to bring the player back to Catalonia in 2012 for €10m, or in 2013 for €15m.

............

BS of a contract that Chelsea has agreed to this.

We must be desperate that Chelsea wants to do such business.

I like the player, but i am disappointed that Chelsea accepted such deal.

Nothing wrong with the deal. Oreo cookie is certainly not going to start alot of games this season so I don't think Barca would pay 10m for him. The season after next he will start playing a bit more but still wouldnt be more than a squad player and I don't think Barca would pay 15m for him. If they pay 15m I say that's a bloody good business by Chelsea by buying a 5m squad player and selling him for 15m in two seasons.

If Barca don't buy him he continues to play with us and may even start more games in third season

[warnie_666 1,081]

In two years if Oreo cookie goes back to Barca we hcould have a replacement in Conor Clifford. And we also get 10m in profit on his sale.

Win Win

I just downloaded the game vs Ecuador, I'm going to watch it this evening surely. I'm happy to see that other members said that he played very well yesterday, although I'm a big fan of Parker, there is no really need to bring back Scotty now...

:goodpost:

Was a good game till one Ecuador player stupidly got sent of.

It should have been tied. And had not been for Romeu, Ecuador could have won.

Caicedo was the best on the field, follow by Romeu. Romeu was superb for Spain.

[eldo 868]

Better deal than Parker. He's younger, cheaper and even if Barca activate that clause we will be even or make profit.

Incredibly underhand & unprofessional for Barca to add buy-back clauses for every player they off-load.

Villa-Boas wanted this guy at Porto, so at least we know this is his transfer, which can only be a good thing.

Is not Barcelona fault, but the stupid clubs that agree to it!

Nobody forces you to buy the player.

It's like the stupid excuse i keep hearing from Liverpool that they had no choice but pay that much for Andy Carroll!

Wrong, no one forces you to buy anything!

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Welcome to Chelsea Oriol! :cfc:

[Term-X 7,891]

It's dubious & arrogant, I'd rather Chelsea had not agreed to a deal like this.. but what's done is done.

[Waterfall 893]

So Chelsea have to accept... It's good that we are buying youth players, but what if he does really well for us, and Barca want him back.. we will have to spend more money for another defensive midfielder.

Yeah but we would have made 10M in two years. With the 15M, we can buy three Romeu's

he was good yesterday. recio, the guy playing ahead of him was a passenger yesterday so everything went thru oriol.

And his actual market value may be triple 15M in 2 years...

Haven't seen him play but very excited about Romeu, intrigued to see how many minutes he'll actually be getting. As a LaMasia product, he should be plenty skillful for a defensive mid. Think it'll be a matter if he can adapt to the PL game.

No doubts Torres will be taking care of him. Dani Pacheco said Torres went out of his way to help him when he arrived in Liverpool as a 17 year old.

[NattyBlue 44]

He will drive us on to win 6 trophies in the next 2 seasons, I got a feeling.

Have seen him play in the U20 WC. Very solid player, plays a deeper role for Spain, comfortable on the ball, not a physical lightweight either. I think AVB made a good decision.

And yes, it won't hurt him to have another Spaniard in the club.

[B.Jen <3 23]

more spanishh players pleease!

keep em' cumin!
