Oriol Romeu

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

I seriously dont get why some of you rate him so high...

People are in love with potential. It's why our youth players and players on other teams that we don't watch much are almost always overrated. They haven't had a chance to make mistakes yet.(Conversely, people are always want to write-off older players. Cole and Cech are still two of the best in the world at their respective positions but a bad game or a bad mistake will always lead to a chorus of "we need to replace them".)

Romeu has started 15 league games with Chelsea . He had some good games, some great games, and looked lost in others. It's possible he'll develop into a very good player, but it's possible he won't either.He needs to go on loan somewhere and get regular time because right now, he's not good enough to play regularly for a Chelsea team that wants to challenge for everything.

Should be ahead of Essien (at the very least) and Lampard in my view. But since we signed MvG, I wouldn't mind a loan for Romeu now. He was good in the one stretch of games he got under AVB. One of the better distributors in midfield

One year loan to Valencia, should be more than enough to make him shine again. I'm happy with it.

Why??? He had a good few game stretch. Literally, a stretch of a very good few games as a defensive midfielder but then they stopped and he stopped getting starts not because RDM became manager but because AVB stopped starting him. He also had a bunch of games where he looked completely out of his depth. When you take into account missing a year due to injury, I'd have him way down the depth chart to start. You are massively overrating where he is right now.

Super opportunity in a WC year. Wish him all the best.

I really like this loan.He should fit in very well at valencia.

So we loan out Romeu but keep Essien.

What the hell is wrong with this club's logic?

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Wait, is it official yet?

No my dear. But it's looking very likely dear...

No my dear. But it's looking very likely dear...

Oh, okay. Thanks

[Jase 43,479]

Oh, okay. Thanks

Romeu should get in the team ahead of Lampard, Essien

If Romeu had started ahead of Lamps last season, we would probably not even play European football. Oriol might have potential, but yet he is still average. NO one knows how he recovers from his injury. Demanding his definite inclusion is just dumb.

Still better for the pivot than Lampard on the basis he is an actual defensive midfielder.
