"Wherefore Art You Romeu" 10:28 - Jan 13 with 636 viewsGRIM

"Romeu, Romeu, Wherefore Art You Romeu".
We all got a bit excited when Oriol came back but it was very obvious that his lack of match practice & lack of pace made him look very exposed in the few minutes he's had on the pitch.
So, was it a desperate mistake to bring him back.
We haven't got a very good track record when bringing back golden oldies.
Must learn from our mistakes & NOT even consider bringing JWP back.

He'd have been able to get up to that balcony in his younger days.

Apparently he's on 25k a week , yet not even fit enough to play a part against L1 Doncaster.

I thought we signed him to play at least a chunk of the games and to be a leader type player.

Looks like yet another Clown Republic PR disaster before Oriel swans off back to Sunny Spain.

The JWP thing is getting a bit of traction in a few quarters,

Prodigal Son...Club Legend...Captain Fantastic...Romantic Return...all trotted out.

I saw the question asked" should we pounce on him ?"

I like the word "pounce" as much as the next man, but it would normally describe a wily fox leaping onto a tasty plump farmyard chicken.

So before" pouncing" SR need to decide is he a plump chicken or a 3 week old, half eaten, mouldy KFC chicken nugget.

Maybe Sport Republic are hoping to appease the fans with some silverware. We could soon be able to field a team of veteran players capable of winning the Hampshire walking football league.

A plan as cunning as a pouncing fox, Baldrick.

I disagree. We have had a good record of 'reclaiming' players. It might be in the dim and distant, but Micky Channon, Graham Baker, Alan Ball and Kevin Davies were all good/great re-recruits.

More recently, with Dibling we made a net gain.

Ok, Lallana and Walcott maybe not, but overall we've done ok.

Agreed, historically we've had some success bringing back old players, but not under the ownership of SR.
Their record is abysmal.

That's the point, and do we really trust SR with any incoming signings?

You forgot to throw in the £125k a week he's on and contract until 2027 some time which will be an absolute major factor no matter where he goes
WHammers would have to throw a big slice of that to us before our lot would even think about taking him (which I hope they don't)
