I have a mancrush on him, dont want to seem him go
The sale of Keita is probably in an advanced stage by now...Milan looks like his likely destination although I've read England as well...Jona is inferior to Oriol but I suspect the decision to keep Dos Santos (At least in the short term) has more to do with economics...Oriol would probably then come the following summer in 2013
Oriol Romeu said:Maybe I’m more of an English player rather than what people consider a typical “Barça player” … That was one of the attractions coming here [to the EPL]: that contact, the longer passes, the tackling. In Spain, they don’t do that.
I really like your thinking. I guess it's kind of what Pep tried to do this year. He promoted Fontas instead of Bartra. We all knew that Bartra was better than Fontas so I was very surprised until I started realizing that Bartra remained at barca B because there he would play all the time. Had he been promoted he would have spent all this year in the bench. It just made sense then to promote Fontas because he's not the defender barca are seeing as a first team player but he could still do the job and allow bartra to keep playing before he was promoted. They don't want to make the Bojan mistake again.The sale of Keita is probably in an advanced stage by now...Milan looks like his likely destination although I've read England as well...Jona is inferior to Oriol but I suspect the decision to keep Dos Santos (At least in the short term) has more to do with economics...Oriol would probably then come the following summer in 2013
Ok some good points but I think some of your points are not true, First, How do you know romeu won't come back? In the same interview where Zubizarreta talked about promoting players he also talked about Romeu and he said "We are not planning on bringing Oriol Romeu back just yet. This makes me think he might come back in the future. It makes sense for now to let him stay at a club where he will have more chances of playing and barca doesn't have to pay his fee. You say Romeu is more of a traditional MD ... isn't that what Keita is? And Pep still loves him. he isn't a ball player? Have you watched him at chelsea? Don't forget he has grown up in Barca playing tiki taka style. I know he said he's more of a Premier league player but in the same interview he said "If Pep counts on you and wants you in the team than that's a different story" meaning that he would go back if Pep wanted him to and had plans for him. We need another player like Keita (physical, strong, fast, good in the air), Dos santos? I don't think so. Barca need an Oriol type of player for very physical games. He's perfect.Romeu won't come back. You heard it here first. He isn't superior to JdS either. Romeu is more of a traditional DM. He isn't a ball player like dos Santos. His chances of playing in Barca's midfield are extremely slim. Listen to what the man says himself:
