Oriol Romeu

[LDN Blue 7,903]

He'll get his chance when Mikel leaves.

Mikel's a favorable main-stay of RdM's squad though, so the chances of him leaving anytime soon are slim. I think he's wasted here (Romeu), so if Barca did call on him I don't think anyone could really make a case for Romeu to remain here.

I think he meant to the ACON.

But even then. Keep him for one month a season? It's pointless. Might as well recall McEachran for then and loan him back out

one month to prove he deserves more playing time.

Mikel can't play every single match especially during the schedule congestion in December. It's still early days, Romeu can still play a part in RDM's plans; same for Sturridge.

He might as well go back to La Mastia. We're ruining the boy's potential here..

Even though he'd have Busquets, Song, Mascherano and possible J Dos Santos ahead of him?

Here he only has Mikel ahead of him. We're not ruining his potential at all, people (not you per se) just have this silly expectation that he'll nurture into a world class DM and that Mikel is holding him back. Garbage I say.

I don't believe that last part at all. But we saw on the back end of last season how sparingly Romeu was used and even this season. Robbie's shown he's willing to rotate players because we've seen appearances from players like Moses & Bertrand. If Romeu was playing regularly like them I'd understand this whole 'he'll get his chance' claim. But he fails to make the bench most the time and we ask where the hell he's disappeared too.

And remember, we play 4-2-3-1 so Romeu could play alongside Mikel. We've seen Ramires play in that position as well.

Should have probably kept his mouth shut about the referee incident....

[OneMoSalah 8,783]

Club world cup and January he will get a lot of game time. Don't worry.

[YuriZhirkov 106]

The club should learn Romeu how to do interviews... he sure says a lot of stupid things.

We're in trouble if we have to rely on him when Mikel goes to ACON in January.

To say the least.

What wrong did he do exactly? He was taken off for tactical reasons, not because his performance was bad.

[Jase 43,479]

Think it may take him awhile to shake off his rustiness before getting into full flight in the team.

[OneMoSalah 8,783]

Needs to improve back to previous standards. Then come January he will be a good replacement for Mikel when hes at ACON or we could use the old Mikels injured and cant go trick...

[Ollie 4,400]

He'll only go up a level if he plays more so him replacing Mikel when the ACON is going on will be good for him. He wants to get chances, he's gotta take em. I think Lampard will play though instead.

[diskoviolente 425]

Nothing wrong with his performance today I thouhgt. What do people expect from this young boy ? He hasn´t started a match in ages and now gets the nod, of course it´s gonna take a while until he is back to his - promising - best.
