    Maybe JWP could lend him a few of his years at the club and Rom could come back for a much deserved testimonial/proper goodbye…??!!

    Would love him to have a testimonial, but do those still happen now?

    Brilliant player, Brilliant servant to the club and Brilliant all-round bloke.

    Will definitely be missed, glad I was there to see his final goal for us.

    Good luck Rom, I'm sad we didn't get the chance to give you a proper send off

    Gutting, brilliant bloke, fantastic player.

    What can you say other than that? The type of role model player that everyone can look up to.

    Thanks Oriol

    I hope he realises/realised how much he is pretty much universally adored by Saints fans.

    I didn't know he was a budgie smuggler. Doesn't detract one iota from the excellent service he's given the club.

    Loved him as a footballer but I still think he has a future as a Bond villain, throwing people off a train. Weird, but that doesn’t make me a bad person.

    Farewell Romeu! Sad to see him go, but I’m glad we let him.

    Cracking player, model professional, true Saint.

    In the modern game its hard to find players who represent the best of the game. Oriol is one, Selfless, humble, spirited, loyal all spring to mind and I find myself unable to think of a single negative word to say about him. He will leave with a great legacy and I'm sure will be long remembered as a Saints legend. Certainly will be by me.

    We should remember him at the next home game by holding up a yellow card.

    Sad to see Oriel leave. I always thought he added some much needed steel to the Southampton squad and you were always gald to see him name on the team sheet as you knew he would give 100%. In my opinion one of those footballers who truly lives up to the description of a "professional." He will be missed. Good luck to him in his future adventures. Always a Saint.

    yet never sent off?
    Think that reflects his personality. The aggression he played with on the pitch was always controlled and never over the line. Hard but fair

    was lucky to meet him once in Winchester just after we drew Pompey in the cup. A warm person and enjoyed a bit of smack talking about our neighbours

    I'm assuming (hoping) that you mean banter, as opposed to hard drugs?

    Farewell Oriel - should`ve been our captain, imo.
