Oriol Romeu

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Well that's the last we will see from Romeu, farewell.

Just to think, if he carried on from his early form with us, this page would be littered with members shitting it about Barca activating the release clause.

Well that's the last we will see from Romeu, farewell.

Whether that's true or not is entirely down to him.

Because pre-season is completely and utterly meaningless. Marin was probably our best player in the pre-season last year and our worst when it mattered. Pre-season is simply about building fitness for the players and getting them a little bit of a chance to get used to each other. I know people always get worked up about who looks great or whatever, but it really doesn't matter at all. Literally. Nobody wins a job based on a good performance against a Malaysian side or something.

Good choice by the board seeing as we already have Essien, Lampard, Mikel, Van Ginkel and Rami as central midfielders.

Good Luck at Valencia Oriol! Hope this isn't the last we see of you at Chelsea

Agree Choulo... After his horrific injury he needs time to play and out of the spotlight, he's bound to be a little nervous of it happening again...

I personally think this is a very smart move, let him get his confidence and match sharpness back away from SB under the spotlight and then re-integrate next season...

Couldn't have planned it better myself

[The Skipper 20,609]

Great move, considering he'd be 3rd choice especially if we bring in another DM. He needs all the game time he can get.

[Toli 977]

He has passed the medical and will be presented at 17:30

Oriol Romeu has today (Friday) joined Valencia on a season-long loan.

The midfielder has appeared 33 times, scoring once, for the Blues. He is a Spanish Under-21 international and also played at last summer's Olympic Games.

Romeu, 21, made nine appearances for Chelsea last season, but missed the second half of the campaign due to injury.

In his first season, following his switch from Barcelona in the summer of 2011, Romeu had appeared more regularly, earning a run of 12 consecutive matches over the Christmas and New Year period.

We wish Oriol well in his homeland, and you will be able to keep up with his progress here on the official Chelsea website.
