Market

Răzvan Olaru 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 Politehnica Iași can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Narek Grigoryan

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Darius Ghindovean did the work nobody counts — 7.15

14 combined actions and 7.15. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Mihai Adăscăliţei

Politehnica Iași asked and Steaua Bucharest said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

A falling-out at Politehnica Iași

Konstantinos Doumtsios and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings

Sékou Camara stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.95 on the card, and the Politehnica Iași support went home talking about one name.

Transfer targets

Politehnica Iași ask about Abdourahman Badamosi

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

Match

Politehnica Iași share the spoils with Metalul Buzău

A 1‑1 draw with Metalul Buzău leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

Words at Politehnica Iași training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sékou Camara is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Politehnica Iași break the bank for Konstantinos Doumtsios

$680.0K. No player has ever cost Politehnica Iași more, and expectation arrives with him.

Transfer targets

Alexandru Stoian is a medical away from Politehnica Iași

The deal with CFR Cluj is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

The terraces

$680.0K for Konstantinos Doumtsios, and Politehnica Iași supporters approve

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Konstantinos Doumtsios from Petrolul Ploiești for $680.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Transfer targets

CSM Reșița tell Politehnica Iași: Antonio Mico 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Politehnica Iași

Konstantinos Doumtsios 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

Jean-Pierre Tiéhi’s goal not enough for Politehnica Iași

Jean-Pierre Tiéhi scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Voluntari, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Market

Răzvan Olaru attracts admirers

The name of Răzvan Olaru has come up in conversations Politehnica Iași were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Ionuţ Dinu needs a bigger stage

He is doing things every Saturday that nobody around him can answer. It is flattering for a season and a problem after that, and Politehnica Iași know which stage they are at.

Market

Still no ink between Politehnica Iași and Ionuţ Dinu

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Politehnica Iași, another week without a signature from Ionuţ Dinu.

In brief

  • Squad Too much change too quickly at Politehnica Iași
  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • Squad Dragoş Iancu falls out with a teammate over standards
