Oriol Romeu

[benjii]

Reckon we can get Redmond back? Him and Scienza linking up would be mint. 4222 innit.

[Dr Who?]

What we have been screaming out for, well since he left. Now need a quality Striker, centre back and goalkeeper, oh and manager!

I think we were looking at the possibility in the summer, but we couldn't shift Aribo and/or Downes.

Now Charles is out injured long term there is a huge gap in CM, so we've moved I reckon. Not sure there is anything in this manager wise.

I think those stories came about because Romeu visited the team on a training camp in Girona. 

But, there's maybe nothing in it, as u say. It's interesting though

One part of me thinks it’s a win win signing, another part of me, the cynical side, thinks it’s very convenient how this has all come about after the toxic atmosphere on Saturday. 

The interview was filmed at St Marys by club staff. Wa released on YouTube 4 days ago. Will have taken a day to shoot and a day to edit; so they've known he was coming for 6 days at least.

He was seen at Staplewood before the pre-season team meet up in Spain

Lamine Yamal has praised Oriol Romeu by citing his strength and robustness as qualities he looks up to. Yamal has described his ideal player by including Romeu for strength, in addition to other players for different attributes like speed, passing, and finishing. 

• Physical strength: Yamal identifies Oriol Romeu as the player he looks to for "strength, robustness and resilience".
• Part of an ideal player composite: When describing an ideal player by combining the strengths of multiple professionals, Yamal explicitly lists Oriol Romeu for his strength. 

At last a bit of physical strength.

This is true, but they will make more with Saints as their supposed primary club re-established in the PL. That will require far more of a vision than they’ve had so far. The money to buy players to establish ready for WP qualification via Goztepe and a revitalised Valenciennes won’t be there otherwise. Nor will they be able to attract the Lavias and Fernandes types that turn over the most with Saints stranded in Champ or League 1.

Over to you SR.

Oh dear.

Extra words to now sing "You're not fit to wear the shirt, except Oriol."

His first task should be to chin a few of our Nancys for disrespecting the club so badly.

[Southner]

Superb news. Hopefully he can rough the squad up and bring about a bit of fight.

I guess we’ll find out eventually, but I’m wondering a little why Oriol has had two months without a club. Various reasons why it could be, but a bit strange that at only 34 he was seemingly unable to find another side before now.

We sounded him out in the summer but couldn't shift Aribo and Edozie to make space in the wage budget for him to join us > that budget matters less right now. 

He really wanted to return and if not to us perhaps would retire. Just my theory but it might be accurate.

I think I read he's been playing for a Portuguese club to stay fit

Not a faIr fight. Romeu's hair isn't long enough for Cap'n Shoehorn to pull.
