Chelsea's Romeu eyes return home

He arrived at Stamford Bridge heralded as the new Pep Guardiola...

It turns out he wasn't even anywhere near the next Busquets, let alone Guardiola, as the Daily Mail are reporting that Chelsea midfielder Oriol Romeu could be set for a move back to his native Spain in the near future.

A favourite of Andre Villas-Boas, that alone seems to have sounded the death-knell for Romeu's Chelsea career which started relatively well but has since taken such a nose-dive that his rare appearances for the first-team of late have brought to put it bluntly, rookie errors.

In his quest to turn Chelsea into Barcelona, perhaps Roman Abramovich would be best advised not to sell players the Catalans are happy to sell.
