Oriol Romeu (loaned to Girona)

Lol rent free.

Nah he pays a mortgage.

I think he is doing worse than is apparent to the eye.
Since he came in we have been playing even more awfully than before and consistently awful. I know it's a simple way of looking at things but our lineup hasn't substantially changed except for him (and no Dembele, but Dembele was injured for a long period before this).

It doesn't mean it's his fault, but he is not doing great either.

Thought he is ok vs Getafe. But then Getafe didn't press much in middle.

People used to complain about Busi's UCL games when the intensity is high, Romeu might be worse.

No haters here?

Great temporary solution until we get money wise stronger.

Plays simple, great in defense...

Much better option then other frauds that have been linked with us.

It's been Getafe and Cadiz so far. Most critics were concerned about tougher opposition.

Having said that, he is winning me over so far.

 

[JamDav1982]

Not a fan so far.

Looks very limited on ball and slow on the break.

Neat and tidy on ball really but is all very basic stuff.

 

[vuji_31]

For 3.4mil we can be happy what is he offering.

He does not make mistakes, does not lose the balls, and plays simple.

Had decent game against RM also.

Just glad Xavi and him saved us from the likes of Amrabat. That would have been shit.

Amrabat would have been awesome here.
You're clueless.

Great bit of business, not the DM we wanted, but the DM we deserve lol.

Even if he's good for only 1 season that's perfect.

 

[JamDav1982]

Teams are leaving him on ball.

Need more from DM than that. The midfield is stagnating with him too often so far and Barca will get caught on break a lot with him in there.

Looked better in both games he has come off.

Dude is 32 and joined for 3M from Girona, he is expected to be shit so him playing solid is already great.

Now Barca relying on a player like that as a starter is a whole different story, but that's not his fault and we all know it's down to the club being broke.

He is basically playing as a worse Busquets with ball, but is better physically. Not gonna get far with that but should do okay.

 

[Porque]

He has been decent, but we don't really need him for games like these last two.

Solid squad addition for depth at the price though, but our best 11 probably doesn't have him.

 

[vuji_31]

True.

I hate that Xavi is playing same 11 against Getafe and Bayern.

There is no twiking the team.

Lets play with Lewa and 6 midfielders and hope we gdt 1-0.

Yup. Im hoping for more riskier aproach aginst minnows. We need defence to be caught more often to prepare for bigger challenges, as do attacking players need more direct play to gain confidence. We need couple of spankings before europe starts
