Squad

4 goals for Stefan Dražić

The match ball belongs to Stefan Dražić, whose 4 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match

CFR Cluj through in the cup

A 6‑1 win over CSC Dumbrăvița, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings

Damjan Đoković scores twice — 8.24

Two goals and a mark of 8.24 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Stefan Dražić yet — 9.73

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 9.73 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Razak Abdullah at 21 — 7.65

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Razak Abdullah did not need any: 7.65, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match

Still nobody has beaten CFR Cluj

The unbeaten run reaches 9. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

The step up is real for Răzvan Gligor

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Match

7 goals as CFR Cluj and CSC Dumbrăvița go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between CFR Cluj and CSC Dumbrăvița, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match

CFR Cluj see off Dinamo Bucharest

Three points for CFR Cluj, 2‑1 the final word against Dinamo Bucharest in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market

Meriton Korenica 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 CFR Cluj can pretend not to have heard.

Market

FC Bihor Oradea come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and CFR Cluj did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

CFR Cluj rebuffed over Cătălin Cîrjan

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Dinamo Bucharest have kept their man, and CFR Cluj go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 14 in, 5 out at CFR Cluj

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 14 arrived, 5 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market

Rareş Gal’s move to Rapid Bucharest falls through

The deal that would have taken Rareş Gal to Rapid Bucharest has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to CFR Cluj with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Transfer targets

Deadline beats CFR Cluj to Valentin Robu

The clock did what Metalul Buzău would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.

Market

Universitatea Craiova watching Mohammed Kamara

The interest is real enough to have reached print. CFR Cluj have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Christopher Braun 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.

Squad

Alibek Aliev is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Alibek Aliev has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

In brief
