Southampton hero Jimmy Case admits he's a fan of Oriol Romeu.

Indeed, Case believes Chelsea were wrong to allow the Spaniard to leave.

He told the Daily Echo: “I like the boy Oriol Romeu, the way he gets about to win the ball and he also has that range of passing.

“I think Chelsea letting him go was a mistake and don't know why he wasn't on from the start against them last week.

“I think Mark (Hughes) is just trying to find his best team to get results.

“It just seems they need a boost from somewhere.

“If they get a win against Bournemouth I think they would go on and beat Newcastle [at St Mary's a week later]."
