Oriol Romeu

[Ollie 4,400]

4-3-3 is always our best way and if Jose comes back, we'll surely go back to it. Hazard LW, Falcao ST, Mata RW. I'd jizz just to see that.

Would like to see Romeu back soon and see him compete with Ake for some games next season.

Why couldn't Romeu crack the squad but once Benitez came in he was consistently in the starting XI until his injury? We all saw how good he was so why was he hardly being played before?

guess RDM just didn't fancy him

He was awesome under Benitez unil he got injured. Hopefully he doesn't have similar knee problems to Essien! =(

He literally had 2-3 starts, hardly 'consistent'.

i hope he can become like david albelda

I still have a belief this player can be a quality DM in our team. Just hoping for a speedy recovery and no long term issues with his knee

i don't know if already posted here...

Romeu at the best is just great. The tackle, interception and passing is class, make fellaini like a mediocre midfield...

would love to try pairing him with Rambo...

Lets just hope he can managed to regain match fitness and show us what he can do..........!

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

will he be fit for the season run now he is back in training?

[Leif 6,006]

If he can get back to that form he was in vs. Newcastle United/Manchester City (I think?) and sustain that I firmly believe we don't need to buy a new defensive midfielder. His understanding of the game is incredible. He's the most intelligent DM I can think of in the league from what I've seen of him.

We can only hope

When is he coming back?

I find it a pity that he got injured for so long.

With Benitez favoring Spanish players and technical/flair players I would have been interested to see how he does.

Mikel has never fitted the great model of the all attacking team ala Dortmund or Barcelona. But from the little we saw in Romeu he looked promising.

And Benitez has made the best of Azpilicueta, a Spanish RB that promise a lot, and now he is our main RB.

I thought the same would have happen with Romeu.

[Madmax 9,219]

Watch him become a better player on the bench. Everyone somehow becomes a better player when injured. Even Bosingwa.

1 possible blessing in disguise from this injury - less chance of Barcelona using the buy-back clause which I believe will expire after next season(?).

It will expire after this season.
