Confirmed: Saints re-sign Oriol Romeu

I'm expecting nothing from him other than to show those mercenary ****s masquerading as footballers, what playing for Southampton FC actually means.

 

First of all, he wouldn't have started 22 games. Second of all, Lallana was 36 I think when he joined us - 2 years older. I'm not saying Romeu's going to play 90 minutes every Saturday but he's far less injury prone than Lallana.

 

Nah Lallana played much less. I remember pointing it out alongside his comments that he thought he played too much football.

 

Apart from anything else it's given me a fair bit more confidence for Fratton.

 

. If all else fails tell your erection that Russell Martin has been seen at Staplewood.

 

I saw Russ in Shirley McDonald’s last night.

 

Is Shirley McDonald the new Lucy Pinder?

 

I’m currently in the Markus Liebherr Suite at St.Marys, I doubt Ori is here to give blood like me but I’m keeping my eyes peeled

 

This news genuinely has made me quite emotional.

What a guy. What a leader. Absolutely brilliant just when all hope was lost.

 

Oh, whoever the new manager is, if you want to make an instant impact letting the players and fans know who's boss, take the no.6 off THB and give it to Rom. Preferably in the centre circle before the game.

 

I can't tell you how happy I am about this.

Is he going to be a shadow of his former self? Have his legs gone? Will he only play a bit part role?
I couldn't give a tuppenny bit. He can sashay around the touchline while wearing a red velvet smoking jacket, blowing smoke rings at the Northam for all I care. That would be enough for me.

What I do know is he made 28 appearances for Barcelona the season before last.
And that my wife's going to suggest we get our season tickets back. She once said to me "I love Oriol more than you do". She didn't actually finish the sentence with "do" but I know what she meant.

What's Yoshida doing these days?

 

Playing for LA Galaxy...

 

Lucy was there, but she’s obviously been enjoying one too many Big Mac meals of late.

 

If Oriol can knock Barca into touch to come to us, Maya's not out of the question.

 

Well that's not 100% accurate. Ori is a free agent after his contract was mutually terminated back in August.

 

Ssshhhh.

He strode in to the Barca managers office, gripped him up around the throat and said "My club needs me" The manager was too scared to do anything other than tear Rommy's contract up there and then whilst simultaneously booking him an easy jet flight straight into Southampton airport. Rumour has it the manager even paid for the extra baggage allowance from his own pocket.

That's the truth and we'll hear nothing more of it

I knew that but this is not a time for 100% accuracy. Poetic licence makes dumping Barca sound better than "free transfer" or worse "he was without a club".
I'm enjoying the moment because it will only last until Wednesday.

 

If he returns even as a short game period player, those around him will quickly learn to give their blood to the shirt on their back!! Can’t wait.

 

This is great news if it happens. A proper leader on the pitch and in the dressing room.

Am ridiculously pleased
