Oriol Romeu

Hopefully we go back to 4-3-3 and see him rotated with Mikel. Loved this lad under AVB, was calm everytime he had the ball. Honestly think he could grow and become our very own Sergio Busquets, just a bit balder. He has great positional sense, distribution, reads the game well etc, all the ingredients for a top DM. Just need to go back to 4-3-3 which suits him and Rami imo.

double like this post!!

The way he could distribute the ball with about two touches. Wow.

I'm with you mate, 4-3-3 all the way!

Don't forget it would suit KDB too! Rami bombarding up and down the pitch, unrestricted, and KDB pinging balls out wide to Hazard/Mata...one can dream!

Personally I'd prefer to see one out of Hazard or Mata on the left in a 4-3-3 with Moses on the right and Ba in the middle as we wouldn't be so narrow with both Juan and Eden coming infield the whole time. Sounds odd but I think if we did go back to 4-3-3 it would be more like a 4-3-2-1 with both Juan and Eden in the team.

I don't know who would be benched out of those two to be honest. But either way, It beats the hell out of 4-2-3-1.

Oscar could also serve as a CM and the DM can be converted to AM if we're going all out.

I think if Mata or Hazard are benched in a 4-3-3, at least we've got a game changer on the bench then. Oscar would have to play a bit further forward in an inverted 4-3-3 tbh.

4-3-3 is always our best way and if Jose comes back, we'll surely go back to it. Hazard LW, Falcao ST, Mata RW. I'd jizz just to see that.

Would like to see Romeu back soon and see him compete with Ake for some games next season.

Why couldn't Romeu crack the squad but once Benitez came in he was consistently in the starting XI until his injury? We all saw how good he was so why was he hardly being played before?

[lucio 5,418]

guess RDM just didn't fancy him

[laeth 527]

He was awesome under Benitez unil he got injured. Hopefully he doesn't have similar knee problems to Essien! =(

He literally had 2-3 starts, hardly 'consistent'.

i hope he can become like david albelda

[bluesman2610 1,415]

I still have a belief this player can be a quality DM in our team. Just hoping for a speedy recovery and no long term issues with his knee

i don't know if already posted here...

Romeu at the best is just great. The tackle, interception and passing is class, make fellaini like a mediocre midfield...

would love to try pairing him with Rambo...
