The terraces

The mood at Olimpia Satu Mare has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Market

Alexandru Petre has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Olimpia Satu Mare they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

The dugout

Cristian Chiriches says Olimpia Satu Mare went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

The dugout

Alexandru Petre frozen out at Olimpia Satu Mare

This is not rotation. Alexandru Petre has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Olimpia Satu Mare is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Adrian Pop signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Adrian Pop commits to Olimpia Satu Mare for another 3 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Olimpia Satu Mare

Nestorly Lumbu and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Amine Ghazoini falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

Adrian Pop is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The dugout

Amine Ghazoini asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Terms done: Sergej Grubač is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Botosani waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Olimpia Satu Mare is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market

Yassine Zakir is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Olimpia Satu Mare is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market

Kristian Banozic puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Olimpia Satu Mare, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Kévin Mbala attracts admirers

The name of Kévin Mbala has come up in conversations Olimpia Satu Mare were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

The dugout

Amine Ghazoini frozen out at Olimpia Satu Mare

This is not rotation. Amine Ghazoini has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Olimpia Satu Mare is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Nestorly Lumbu 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 Olimpia Satu Mare this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Yassine Zakir falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets

Universitatea Cluj tell Olimpia Satu Mare: Tiberiu Căpuşă is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets

Olimpia Satu Mare ask about Denis Ciobotariu

A loan enquiry to Rapid Bucharest: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
