Squad

Yuval Sade damages knee ligaments — 23 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 23 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Viitorul

Daniel Deac 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

Words at Viitorul training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. George Dragusin 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.

Squad

Yuval Sade damages knee ligaments — 44 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 44 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.

Boardroom

Viitorul spell it out for Interim Coach

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Interim Coach has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Match

Viitorul are in real trouble now

Position 8, 22 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad

Daniel Deac 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 Viitorul this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

George Dragusin 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

Bogdan Burca stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Bogdan Burca and Viitorul agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Boardroom

$2.3M taken back off the Viitorul table

What was available in the summer has quietly gone. Upstairs nobody will call it a change of ambition; downstairs nobody will call it anything else.

Market

Still no signature from Andrei Miron

1 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Viitorul could get for him.

Market

The shop window has George Puscas in it

Viitorul have let the market know George Puscas can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Squad

Yuval Sade damages knee ligaments — 107 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 107 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.

Boardroom

Viitorul spell it out for Interim Coach

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Interim Coach has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Squad

Daniel Deac signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Daniel Deac and Viitorul agree another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Viitorul

Ovidiu Hagi 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

Words at Viitorul training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. George Dragusin 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.

Market

Lucas Chavez is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Viitorul has been clear about where Lucas Chavez stands, which is more than many ever get.

Boardroom

Viitorul pull $2.3M back off the table

The money that was there in the summer is not there now. Nobody upstairs calls this a change of ambition, and everybody downstairs reads it as one.

Market

José Cristiano runs his contract down

1 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Viitorul money.

Market

Viitorul put Gustas Jarusevičius up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Gustas Jarusevičius may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Adrian Nedelcearu damages knee ligaments — 80 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 80 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.

Squad

Mihael Onişa keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Viitorul may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Tempers go at Viitorul

Daniel Deac 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.
