Signed a new 3 year contract

Fuck off signed another 3 years, someone who is a little above Mikel.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Basically seems to me that Mikel will leave, and Romeu could replace him in the squad.

Hope has some chances to impress this season

Signed a new 3 year contract

He is entering the last year of a 4 year contract that he signed in 2011. He's still young so it makes sense to tie him down for a few years and hope to sell him in the future.

At the moment we couldn't flog him for what we paid for him in all likelihood...or maybe Jose wants him in the squad. Doubtful.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Great to hear. He's still young with a lot of potential and the worst case scenario is that his value keeps increasing.

The contract doesn't necessarily mean that he's staying, but along with what he said and the fact that he was the only outfield player scheduled to play 70 minutes last night, I think it's safe to say that Jose is at least evaluating whether to keep him or not.

[Special Juan 27,103]

Not fussed either way, he's better than Mikel IMO and if he is moved on and Thiago is brought in then fine. The right areas have been addressed for me already, anything else is a bonus.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Well he is not a kid anymore, if Jose decide to offer him new contract, that means he has some plan for Romeu in the squad. Couldn't see him get another loan.

[Jype 6,398]

Good news IMO, as a Mikel replacement for the backup DM role we could do a lot worse.

Romeu's wages are not that high so keeping him around won't cost the club a lot of money but in case he really manages to put the injuries behind him and starts fulfilling his huge potential he could end up being a very valuable player for us for little money, compared to what keeping Mikel let alone signing a player like Khedira would cost us. And if over the course of the season he proves not to be up for it, then there's still Tiago whose arrival looks imminent.

Had Romeu been sold now with less than a year left on his contract and big question marks looming over his development as a player he would not have gone for much.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Mikel is definitely off IMO.

Mou has plans for him. Don't forget, if needed he *can* play CB also.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Love this news and I really hope he stays this season with us and act as an understudy to Matic.

He's the same age as Oscar and Hazard, which is surprising to me. I thought he was a lot older.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Very interesting, thought he showed some good stuff yesterday.

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Good news as far as I'm concerned, thought he's been solid whenever called upon. Hope this season he gets a fair crack!

Congrats Romeu!!

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Loan in the EPL seems far fetched but it would be a good move.

[pHaRaOn 2,131]

He has potential to play alongside Matic in the starting line up. I hope he'll be injury free.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Did not see that contract extension coming, but good for him I have always thought he is better than Mikel for us

[didierforever 7,349]

seems like he has impressed jose enough to give him a new lifeline. cant see him having much playtime here so expect a loan spell. lets see
