Oriol Romeu (loaned to Girona)

Yeah, he looked like a stoned guy not understanding where and what is happening. Apart from not moving well, he obviously cannot into scanning his surroundings too. Partly to blame.

Sad this was the best possible pivot Barca could get this summer due to FFP. He really isn’t even a fraction of what Busquets is, if he had pace at least he could make up for it but he’s practically even slower and even less agile which makes it even worse. Hopefully Xavi can come up with something otherwise I think we would be lucky to get to quarter finals CL. Pivot is our most important position and with him having to take that big role leaves us reliable even against small teams that put on pressure, don’t want to imagine Bayern or City running past him with ease and another European thrashing to add to our list.

The mask is falling off. His first games for Barça where oke but the past weeks it's clear that's he's not Barça material sadly enough. Makes a lot of bad passes and lose the balls on oddly occasions what leads to counter attack.

Well to be honest, what should we expect from a 32y old player we brought for 3,5 mil from Girona? It was obvious from he start that this was a dumb move. However, the real problem is that this guy will be with us until 2026 and he brings nothing to the table. He simply can't play as a single pivot in 4-3-3. Furthermore, he is horrible in attack and quite unreliable in defense. I honestly see no other option than playing FDJ as a single pivot when he recovers. People within the club really need to learn that sometimes is better to sign no one than a player of this quality. On top of that I would say that signing a young pivot in January should be our main objective. Our scouts need to do their fucking job and start searching for young and talented pivots that can be signed at affordable price.

Someone needed to have over ruled Xavi on pining for Busquets to point would not buy any cover for him when spending hundreds of millions.

Then allowing him to sign Romeu.

It isnt good enough planning for a club like Barca.

Can fuck off with finances argument when spent more than enough money in past couple years to have better than Romeu.
