Oriol Romeu (loaned to Girona)

Worse than Nico Gonzalez and thats a low bar.
Dont think he is much above relegation team level which is basically where he's played for his entire career so is it a surprise?

I reckon that is every league game bar one that Barca have been losing/drawing while Romeu on the pitch.

Xavi has a major blind spot with him.

Think team literally improves the score every single time he comes off, it is wild.

If he had stayed on the field for 90 mins a game we may well have had 3 or 4 losses by now.

Is genuinely just relegation quality and so far off the other players it's unbelievable.

Why is he starting games?!?! HE ADDS NOTHING.

Especially today when Mallorca pressed us and ran.. Romeu is useless in games with any speed.

Surely no one are surprised by him looking out of depth.

It's a pity we couldn't find an alternative or didn't prioritize it more. Someone like Alan Varela(different type of player tbf) for the measly 8m he cost Porto would have been a decent option. His performances so far suggest he might be sold in a year or two for 50m+ lol.

Exactly. He adds nothing. Few tackles he has to make because he is too slow to get there otherwise.

Some people would blindly defend whatever the club or Xavi do.

The whole CDM thing this summer was really strange. Went from Zubimendi to Kimmich, to ditching all the Varela links when we were linked to him for months, and then ending up with this lad lol.

Indeed and any of us said it was a position neglected for too long were just moaning and 'Xavi haters'.
