Match21 Feb 2028

Every point is an argument now for Petrolul

Position 8 and 21 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market21 Feb 2028

Ionut Moldovan 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 The request is on a desk at Petrolul, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Tempers go at Petrolul

Rareş Gal 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.

Squad21 Feb 2028

A move Sacha Mandanda would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Sacha Mandanda is living that version at Petrolul, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Paul Hagi 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 watch21 Feb 2028

Florin Dragusin wants to come home

“I did not go to Dinamo Bucharest to sit and watch. I want to come back to Petrolul and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 33 matches say the rest.

Market21 Feb 2028

A long bet from Petrolul on Sacha Mandanda

He is 18, and nobody at Petrolul signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market21 Feb 2028

Petrolul buy the years ahead of Aboubacar Sacko

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market21 Feb 2028

Petrolul sign Andrei Hagi, one for the future

Andrei Hagi is 18, and Petrolul have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Squad30 Aug 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Dragos Stanciu

49 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.

Player ratings30 Aug 2027

Claudiu Puscas runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 32. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match30 Aug 2027

Every point is an argument now for Pandurii

Position 9 and 5 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Pandurii

Ionut Keseru 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.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Words at Pandurii training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Baba Alhassan 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.

Match28 Aug 2027

Pandurii cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad30 Aug 2027

The manager makes an example of José Luis Gamonal

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match28 Aug 2027

A bad afternoon for Pandurii against Botosani

0‑1 to Botosani, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Loan watch30 Aug 2027

Cristian Puscas counts the days

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

Squad19 Jul 2027

Dragos Stanciu damages knee ligaments — 92 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 92 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market19 Jul 2027

Pandurii say no — this time

The offer from CFR Cluj for Andrei Hagi was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Tempers go at Pandurii

Ionut Keseru 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.

Boardroom19 Jul 2027

Graduation day at Pandurii

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Words at Pandurii training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Baba Alhassan 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.

Market19 Jul 2027

Razvan Burca steps up from the Pandurii academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Razvan Burca has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market19 Jul 2027

Pandurii promote Nicusor Nita from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nicusor Nita has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market19 Jul 2027

One of our own: Stefan Ratiu joins the Pandurii first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Stefan Ratiu is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Dorin Balasa out for 25 days

The medical room confirms 25 days on the sidelines for Dorin Balasa, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Dragos Stanciu damages knee ligaments — 101 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 101 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Razvan Bancu breaks a bone — 19 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 19 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Supporters turn on the $600.0K sale of Daniel Dragusin

He is going to Viitorul, the club has $600.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market12 Jul 2027

Voluntari come back empty-handed

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

Squad12 Jul 2027

Cristian Tanase 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 Pandurii this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market12 Jul 2027

Business is business: Daniel Dragusin goes

Viitorul paid $600.0K and Pandurii took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
