Oriol Romeu

[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.

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

To say the least.

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

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 8,883]

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.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Mikel should have gone out for Rami, I thought Oriol was better today. Considering the amount of playing time he's had lately (including the second part of last season) no wonder he needs some time to catch up. But it's not like he has lost it like the other Spaniard..

[CHOULO19 24,332]

^^

I actually agree for yesterday's match Oriol should have stayed. His one touch passing, although risky, could have speeded our midfield up. Our team looked completely off the pace.

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

Hard to imagine. Scary to predict. Impossible to observe

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Well take that as great chance for Romeu to surprise. He is good player and with Mikel gone in jan, he will show how good he is.

[BlueJewel 56]

He'll come good, he just needs more playing time, I thought he did quite well against Swansea. Romeu'll be more than adequate replacement for Mikel when he's out on International duty. The first choice central midfield partnership though is likely to be Lamps and Ramires. Chalobah would have returned from his loan deal with Watford and the two would be back-up for the first choice central midfield pairing.

Forgotten Chelsea star Oriol Romeu could be close to a Stamford Bridge exit, after a Valencian paper published details of a meeting between his agent and the Spanish club at their headquarters over the weekend.

The Chelsea midfielder's advisor, Magico Diaz, was pictured entering the Los Che office by Superdeporte, and the paper revealed he spent more than an hour in the offices speaking with Valencia sporting director Braulio Vazquez.

It is believed Valencia are looking to arrange a loan deal for the 21-year-old with the option to buy, and it is expected that any potential move would be completed in January.

Romeu is thought to be unhappy with his lack of appearances under Roberto Di Matteo, playing only four times in all competitions this season.

Valencia's interest in the youngster is nothing new, as it's thought the La Liga side attempted to sign him prior to his switch to Chelsea in 2011. Reports of a renewed interest in the midfielder emerged last summer.

So Valencia are going to look to try loan him with an option to buy... again...
