Squad

16 days out for Adrian Păun after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. CFR Cluj will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Tempers go at CFR Cluj

Danil Prutsev was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Léo Bolgado 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.

Loan watch

The goals keep arriving from Andres Sfaiţ’s exile

15 goals in 29 games at Gloria Bistrița — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at CFR Cluj updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Boardroom

CFR Cluj beat the market to Yohan Roche from Corvinul Hunedoara

Corvinul Hunedoara will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Yohan Roche has pre-agreed a move to CFR Cluj, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

The dugout

Léo Bolgado gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Loan watch

Nobody is scoring past Rareş Gal at Gloria Bistrița

11 shut-outs in 31 games. A goalkeeper’s loan is judged on the afternoons when nothing happened at all, and Rareş Gal has been having a lot of them.

Loan watch

David Sas counts the days

“I watch every CFR Cluj game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Metaloglobus Bucharest runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings

Cristian Măgeruşan beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The Metaloglobus Bucharest Sentinel

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Player ratings

Both of them Yunusa Muritala's — 8.59

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.59, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Daniel Popa is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Metaloglobus Bucharest will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Squad

10 seasons of Andrei Sava

283 appearances across 10 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Metaloglobus Bucharest know what they have.

Market

Alexandru Luca 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 Metaloglobus Bucharest can pretend not to have heard.

Match

Nobody wants to play Metaloglobus Bucharest right now

4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

Yunusa Muritala is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.25 with 18 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad

Tempers go at Metaloglobus Bucharest

Daniel Şerbănică was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Metaloglobus Bucharest see off CSC Șelimbăr

Three points for Metaloglobus Bucharest, 2‑1 the final word against CSC Șelimbăr in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The dugout

Łukasz Bomba gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
