Good Luck at Valencia Oriol! Hope this isn't the last we see of you at Chelsea

[Muzchap 8,966]

Good choice by the board seeing as we already have Essien, Lampard, Mikel, Van Ginkel and Rami as central midfielders.

Agree Choulo... After his horrific injury he needs time to play and out of the spotlight, he's bound to be a little nervous of it happening again...

I personally think this is a very smart move, let him get his confidence and match sharpness back away from SB under the spotlight and then re-integrate next season...

Couldn't have planned it better myself

Great move, considering he'd be 3rd choice especially if we bring in another DM. He needs all the game time he can get.

He has passed the medical and will be presented at 17:30

Oriol Romeu has today (Friday) joined Valencia on a season-long loan.

The midfielder has appeared 33 times, scoring once, for the Blues. He is a Spanish Under-21 international and also played at last summer's Olympic Games.

Romeu, 21, made nine appearances for Chelsea last season, but missed the second half of the campaign due to injury.

In his first season, following his switch from Barcelona in the summer of 2011, Romeu had appeared more regularly, earning a run of 12 consecutive matches over the Christmas and New Year period.

We wish Oriol well in his homeland, and you will be able to keep up with his progress here on the official Chelsea website.

best of luck to him... hope he shows his true class and goes a season without any injuries...

[nachikethas 1,149]

Best of luck oriol. Go get third spot and copa del Rey if possible.

[Fernando 6,491]

I don't think he has a future at Chelsea.

We will eventually sell him to this club or some other Spanish club.

I see more chances of Ake, or Chalobah for the future then this guy.

Romeu being presented to the Valencia fans...

And...

[LDN Blue 7,903]

i'm asuming this was at a pre-season game? They didn't surely all turn up just to see Romeu?

[Hutcho 8,443]

Should be a good move for him. Be very interesting to see how it develops.

It's a normal thing in Spain for fans to just turn up and see the unveiling of a new player acquired.

Even player on loan? Fair play, I guess lol!

Think a fair bit turned out for Piazon's unveiling at Malaga last season too IIRC.

Glad for him, his potential is massive and he's so young, if he develops well, he could be the answer to our pivot worries as he could have 10 years there.
