I was only saying League games, in any case still i was close

Besides some of those 11 games were games that meant nothing like the Liverpool game where Romeu showed off his defensive prowess to the world again

Point is he has played hardly enough for their to be considered a "buzz"

And definitely hasn't proven he's worth 10m to add to a position where he's totally not needed and someone of similar level and experience already at the club.

I would agree he isn't worth 10m but he did not play most of those matches when it didn't matter.

A majority of them were played while AVB was failing and the pressure was on.

That'll be news to the player since he's primarily played at LB before last season

Good blood in his veins?...What exactly are you trying to say here?

Would be awfully irrational to conclude a manager's intentions for a player based on the last 3 months at the helm of a team playing in the final stretch of a major cup competition

Sounds like you don't really know the player

Unzué obviously believes he can make something out of this disappointment...It's a low risk move that could pay off I guess - I predict more injuries

Nope, it won't be news to Muniesa. He was always a CB before being promoted to the B where he has played a lot as LB because there were already two established CB (Bartra and Fontas).

Blood in his veins, I mean that Bartra is not agressive at all, and while Muniesa is not very agressive either, he is more than Bartra, the transparent devender.

I'm pretty sure RdM won't be giving much time to Romeu and wouldn't mind selling him for less than 10 milion, it's just an opinion. And yes, I know Romeu, he is not a very technical player for Barça.

Romeu is like living off name in this discussion here.

Not one person has talked about his qualities. I just hear catchy cliches like "upside" and "buzz".

Strip away all that nonesense and you have a decent player who decent skills, nothing more and nothing less. The thing that jumps out is he is physically very strong (though pretty immobile) and has better technique than you expect for that size (though still not great).

Dos Santos might be weak and small, but has awareness, plays it with the least amount of touches as possible and rarely messes up his first touch. For a back up holding player, thats pretty much all you can ask for.

Why spend money (10m at that) on someone who probably isnt even better?

Muniesa has long played at LB for Spain & the Barcelona's youth sides

You do realize that Romeu will be starting for the Olympic side of Spain, the current epicenter of best football played on the planet...You're going to dismiss him in comparison to JDS who isn't featuring regularly for El Tri?....A bit mangoes & papayas, non?...I imagine that was the reason a buyback was included in what will ultimately amount to a loan for a player younger than JDS...Sounds like the club values the Catalan player very much

Why hasnt Dos Santos played for Mexico? Because they have all sorts of problems..zero to do with football.

Romeu playing for Spain means nothing..Arbeloa is the seniors side starting rightback...Arbeloa..

Maybe because he's also been pretty unprofessional or hasn't impressed...Even Giovani who is in playing no man's land for clubs plays for El Tri

Mangoes & Papayas...Arbeloa is playing at RB why?...Because Puyol was not available due to injury, i.e. no central defender depth...Montoya will be the future RB

Romeu has been a featured starter at every youth level for the past 4-5 years in the world's epicenter of foobtalling excellence...It's night & day, Romeu is a talent and JDS is still being groomed into a position...Is he a defender (has played everywhere in defense), a DM or attacking mid?...Romeu suffers from the same problem Javi does, not quite good enough to play in the midfield for Spain's first team...So slot him into central defense

I wouldn't say being called up (or not called up) for the NT is a good assessment of quality. Going along the same lines of thought, we could argue that Bendtner is a better player than Tevez, because the later doesn't even get called up for the national team. Obviously I'm using extremes, but that line of thought is flawed.

But getting called up for Spain means something, particularly in midfield...Where are the weak links in Spain's midfield going down as young as U16?

And you have to consider that Dos Santos has had opportunities with Mexico but it has never stuck...That's not just down to selection issues

Romeu getting called up is a bit like Albiol getting called up, he was in the squad before and he's at a big club.

I can think of a couple young holding mids in la liga who are clearly better than him.

I've heard it all now...A midfielder getting called up for La Furia Roja means nothing

Romeu (Chelsea): "Returning to Barça is an option. I've always been a big fan, thanks to them I am where I am, but playing time is crucial."

"If Tito wants me to join, I'll talk to him and I'll consider it. If they show they believe in me, I'd be fine with that."

"Barça have a buyback option. I left knowing about that. If they want to use that option, they should let me know." [sport.es]

JDS did get called up for el Tri at the Olympics, he is the one that declined the offer (same with Vela)

Vela due to him claiming he wants to avoid injury (rumors also have it he having problems with the Mexican Football Federation and he isn't going out of spite)

JDS chose to sit behind because he says he wants to try to impress Tito in the pre-season freindlys and try to earn himself a spot on the team. Which, he could of done by impressing in the Olympics.

Both players have gotten negative publicity for there choices

Clearly your informed.

JDS hasnt been called up because of various incidents, your welcome to google them. Its nothing to do with football. Mexico have treated him horribly in the past and he then got into some sort of issue with prosititutes. Again, nothing to do with football.

This flawed logic is crazy.

Because Romeu plays for youth team he is automatically better lol

Tell me, who else could play that position for Spain and Romeu plays ahead of him? I bet you cant name nobobdy of any note. Your talking like he is playing in front of Makelele lol

You still have yet to name any of Romeu's qualities, you just keep adding to the list of buzz words and catch phrases...we should add "epicenter" now I guess.
