The Pandurii Chronicle
Squad23 Nov 2026
A knee injury of the worst kind for Cristian Mihaila
48 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Pandurii lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

At 21, Ionut Maxim is already the best thing here
An average of 7.06 in a first team he is several years too young for. Pandurii have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Words exchanged at Pandurii
Dorin Dragusin 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.

Pandurii are still strangers to each other
7 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The Dragos Man story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Dragos Man signs something — a contract at Pandurii or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Pandurii add cover with Rodrigo Cunha
It is the least glamorous business a club does and the reason seasons do not collapse in February. Rodrigo Cunha is here for the weeks when three men are injured and somebody still has to play.

Nelson Lung joins Pandurii to strengthen the squad
Nobody sells a season ticket on a signing like this. Every manager who has been through a bad October wants one anyway, and Pandurii have gone and got theirs early.

Pandurii in the hunt for Europe
Position 5, 24 points, and a run-in that decides whether next season has Thursday nights in it. Nobody is calling it a race yet, which is what people say during one.
