Oriol Romeu (loaned to Girona)

[Sorin]

He's terrible on the ball and slow as fuck but tbf to him he was a 4m filler. The onus is not on him to be some kind of world class DM, because he would've cost an arm a leg if that was the case. It's on Xavi to see it and adjust.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Feels like Xavi wanted to show us that we could do worse than old Busquets

 

[malvolio]

They just got someone to be a DM and have some Barca DNA. Player not at fault really.

 

[Slevinn]

Can’t start again.

In the vibrant heart of Barca's stage,
A tale unfolds, sparking forum rage,
"Romeu and Busquets," a love story amiss,
A parody spun, with a twist and a hiss.

serghei, with fire, took the lead,
"Romeu's touch? More like a misdeed!
Might close games, but not our heart's part,
His dance lacks the rhythm, the midfielder's art."

JamDav1982, with a smirk, did weigh,
"Busquets had his days, but Romeu's astray,
With Felix and Ferran, hope might sway,
But Romeu's tune, leads our song away."

Total-Football, with sass and flair,
Cried, "Amrabt's the breath of fresh air!
Yet mc_lovin snapped, with a sly grin,
"'Loan' they chant, but millions they'll pin."

Total-Football, ever the jest,
Quipped, "This oreo's not Barca's best,
Roberto might shine, as yesteryears lore,
But Romeu's dance? A total bore."

Sailor Mars, ever the sage,
Mused, "Busquets had his age, Romeu's the new page,
Yet Romeu, in his stride, hasn't soared high,
JamDav1982 sighs, 'Oh Xavi, oh my!'"

Temptation, with a wink and a nod,
Said, "Off the ball, Romeu's a demigod,
Yet with it, he drifts, lost in the storm,
Today's act? Far from the norm."

BJJ, with swagger and jest,
Boasted, "Amrabat's simply the best!
Yet the club, in its folly, chose the fridge,
A choice now, on the edge of the bridge."

In this tale, so wild and so free,
The forum's voices, echo with glee,
"Romeu and Busquets," a tale so askew,
Yet in Barca's saga, it's a chapter anew.

Tongue nor heart cannot conceive nor name thine art!

In plain modern English. Tough barz amigo

Amazing poem. Would put all time poets like TS Eliot and Robert Frost to shame.

This ain't it, Xavi has to establish a formation that doesn't have him as a starter.

Peobably ok enough as a sub for Copa and la liga but not anywhere close to starter quality.

 

[FCBarca]

No question next transfer target has to be a legitimate pivot

 

[Porque]

Looked absolutely shattered when he come off. This cat isn't going to be able to play 2 games a week. You can see that it is draining him alot to have to be at his absolute mental peak just to play decent here.

Bit like Eric.

 

[Andresito]

Yeah I hope the scouts are watching the market closely for a DM. Surely no position more urgent.

Could even do with one in January.

 

[JohnN]

I waited for some time before saying anything about him. To me it feels, he will bring the same exact problems as Busi in CL.
Suspect in possession when under pressure. He has of course a working set of lungs, as opposed to Busi, but he can't control the tempo or create like him. Can't say he is an improvement or a deterioration. Probably just about the same.

 

[JamDav1982]

Apparently the board already realise the fuck up they made thinking can rely on Romeu and will make moves for a new DM when window opens.

 

[Porque]

Crap names linked in the article. Need to go for a high potential option (well, one that Chelsea doesn't sign).

No point getting someone mid like Guido who could have been signed instead of Romeu.

 

[JamDav1982]

Palinha isnt crap. Very good player.
