I dont know how i feel about this as we just got Fuego who i rate a bit higher but its nice we got competition in that position, so both perform on their max, Oriol will have to fight for a first team spot..

This Loan deal is 99% done and he is scheduled for a medical tomorrow only the doctors could stop him from playing at us this season. He said he would agree to a contract for 4 years but that about Valencia buying him will be discussed next summer. The loan deal is for 1 year...

I heard he is injury prone and missed out on layng time in Chelsea when he was injured, hope he doesnt get injured at Valencia...

@knibis: I watched him when he started at Chelsea. AVB played him a lot and he was excellent, especially considering his age. He got injured but Di MAtteo & then Benitez didn't really favour him much.
I think he's a great acquisition. I'm not sure he's "injury prone" to be fair. I think if he got a good run of games (like a good 1/2 season) he'd be a real asset and worth looking at for a buyout. Chelsea are stacked in midfield and probably going to end up getting 1 more CDM (since they decided to loan out Romeu). If that's the case, they might be more reasonable in terms of a price.

look alikes...

Romeu?

Feghouli?

Romeu has stated he has wanted to join Valencia for quite some time and being presented in front of 2,000 fans by Valencia legend Rubén Baraja got him excited. This transfer must have been going on for months because Valencia are excited about having him. Good luck Romeu!

yap fegho is above him but this is good for the team you know
