Oriol Romeu

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Classic Luiz crashing in!

Good English from the lad. He'd be one of my favourite players at the moment if I didn't have this Barcelona deal in the back of my mind. I can only hope he has enough of a good time in the next 2-years that he decides he wants a prolonged career here.

Oriol speaking English.

lmao @ 0:33-0:45

Luiz always cracks me up!

Apologies if these have been posted before :

I'm going to assume Oriol learnt English at school, because he speaks it particularly well!

[diskoviolente 425]

do we have any opertunities to keep him at Chelsea if Barca want to trigger the buy back clause ?

can anyone give me a summery on the situation.

I really don´t want to lose him anytime soon. And certainly not when he is a regular first team player (like Fabregas)

[Liquidator 5,176]

Seriously, has he made a bad pass yet?

yes he has

If Barça puts on the table a certain amount of money (£8m - not sure though) they can negociate with him. After that, everything is up to him. He can agree to go back to spain just as well he can refuse.

At worse Barca will activate this clause in 2013, so for now he is ours and lets make the most of him, starting tommorow at Ewood Park.

Im by no means a Mikel hater but Oriol is on another level, IMO we have to start playing him in the PL.

Who knows if/when Oriol goes back to Barca a certain Conor Clifford might be ready to do his job.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

yes he has

Seriously, has he made a bad pass yet?

Which he himself got the ball back. Suppose it fits the "6 second rule" he'd have learnt.

Web-chat with Romeu. Not sure how real this is... the language and writing style makes it seem fake. Although I suppose he got a translator to post everything for him

Only copy-pasting certain bits....

Comment From Culidris

Do you think that one day you might 'do a Fabregas' and return to Barcelona?

I'm not thinking about going back, either now nor in the future. I have a great opportunity with superb team-mates. I'm trying to focus on getting better in London. Hopefully things will go well, I'll get a lot of time on the pitch and then we'll see what happens.

Comment From Sergei

How's life in London? What's it like? Do you live near Torres and Mata?

It's good in London, I really like it. On a personal level it's one of the world's great cities, it's surprised me even though everybody had been telling me that it was great. I love its style. I live near Juan, near the centre of the city. That way we can get together easily. Torres is further away, near Chelsea's training ground with his wife and kids.

Comment From Ignacio

Is it true that Mata has changed Chelsea? Is he really that important to them? Which other players have impressed you there?

Yes, I believe Mata has given us a lot of what we were lacking, with the clarity of his passing and his vision. He's got a lot of assists, and is a player who is doing really well. He distributes the ball to Ashley, Lampard, Fernando... He's good; decisive. John Terry has impressed me a lot too, he has great movement. He's an example to a young player like me, a captain who knows exactly what he has to do.

Comment From Felix

What's it been like playing with Lampard, Terry and Cech? Who's the most fun to be around of the non-Spanish players?

Cech speaks five languages, he's hilarious, and he can speak to you in Spanish. They're all easy going people, global stars, but really easy going. They help you, even though they're so well established in the game. Terry is always cracking jokes, David Luiz is always up for having a laugh. The changing room atmosphere is great.

Comment From Andrew

You've been playing regularly recently, but do you think you'll keep your spot in the first team when Essien returns?

I'm not counting on it, we'll have to see. When I arrived I never expected to go straight into the side, I expected to work hard and continue to improve, to be ready to make the most of it when the opportunity came along. I take things one day at a time, I don't think about being in the side for two months or a year or whatever.

Comment From Lol

Why did Pep Guardiola stop picking you two years ago? Was it anything to do with the Supercup defeat by Sevilla that you played in?

I don't think it's that he stopped picking me, more that he started picking other players. I don't think it had anything to do with the Supercup, those of us who made debuts in that match worked hard and did well.

Comment From Namorado

Have you seen Cech's new mask? Are his team-mates worried for him wearing it?

I've not seen it yet! Peter is a gladiator, though, he'd play with a broken arm if he could. I'm not worried about him, if there was any real trouble he wouldn't play. The other day he broke his nose against Blackburn and just carried on like nothing had happened.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Seems like a very down-to-Earth character, and it is nice to know we have someone so talented with that attitude

AVB should play him more regularly though

Chelsea midfielder Oriol Romeu says he isn't thinking of returning to Barcelona.

Barca have a buy-back option for Romeu.

But the youngster says: "I am not thinking of returning to Barca now or in the future. I have a very good opportunity here, with a great level of teammates.

"I must be attentive and focused to improve in London. I hope I do well, playing minutes and we'll see what happens."

It's not very reassuring.

Such a terrible deal, leaves us on edge every summer window now.

[Jusek 2,031]

I'd love to watch him playing here for long time. His potential is amazing and he fits well in English football.
