Oriol Romeu

[Mufassir08 2,400]

We struggled in midfield once he went off.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Romeu before today. I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder.

[Miracle 249]

No Romeu in Japan by the looks of it..

Quite a shame. He seemed so up for it.

[communicate 2,703]

Quite impressed with romeu today, he looks pretty good

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Any news on his injury? If he isn't fit for the game after Leeds (can't remember what that is) we are practically screwed!

Hopefully his injury isnt too bad.

He has all but taken the job from Mikel. He is exactly what we need in a holding mid.

i wouldnt say he has taken over the role but, i really liked his mentality of foward passes. And he seems to know how to spray a few long passes too.

He always wants to pass foward before checkin other options and thats what i like. In the buildup to torres first goal, we intercepted the ball and he imediately passed foward to moses who layed it for hazard to cross. Most other DM think negative and pass to the side and spoil the counter attack.

Hope he gets back soon.

So sad he's injured, he was doing a great job. For me he was taking Mikel's place in the team. Not so nervous on the ball, building the attack at a higher speed.

I hope it's not too serious his injury.

He's very unlucky to pick it up when Mikel have suspension games and had chances to prove himsef wich he did for me.

Oriol Romeu will have surgery on his injured right knee tomorrow. Could be out for two months. #CFC-Twitter

[Kieran. 6,317]

If that's true, we'll need a DM in January..

[Leif 6,006]

WOOOO!!!! LAMPARD AND RAMI THE DOUBLE PIVOT!! WORLD BEATERS I TELL YOU!!!

Yes. We must sign a new CDM in January IMO. ORRR loan one. We could probably loan a decent player from Holland or Germany.

[OneMoSalah 8,783]

Trust Mikel to get suspended then Oriol to get injured

[CHOULO19 24,332]

FFS! We should get a DM in jan or at least recall Essien.

EDIT: Just remembered Essien will be at the ACON as well

I would say give Chalobah a try but I know that would never happen. I think our best realistic option would be to loan a DM.

Feel sorry for the lad. Was just going to get a bunch of games in the next couple of months.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Out for 2 months!!!! .

[Jase 43,479]

Has that been confirmed? Seriously hope it's not true. We are already lacking depth in the DM area and Romeu was just strating to find some sort of form.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

2 Months?! not good! essien back please.

[chelsea_4_eva 1,159]

Bad luck Oriol!
