The knee: Edgar Ié out for 39 days
39 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Pandurii lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Cosmin Deac hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Pandurii can pretend not to have heard.

Vlad Maxim in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Pandurii this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Daniel Graovac wants to go home
“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Pandurii can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Pandurii pick somebody else ahead of Yannick Semedo
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
In brief
- The dugout George Cicaldau has his say

- Squad Bryan Meyo slips down the pecking order
