The Pandurii Chronicle
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Nobody could get near Nicusor Hagi
Successful dribbles: 38. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Match19 Aug 2026
Pandurii out of the cup
Voluntari ended it 2‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

A brace, and Mihai Burca takes the afternoon — 8.30
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Mihai Burca provided it, and the 8.30 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

George Marin 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 Pandurii can pretend not to have heard.

Daniel Ratiu attracts admirers
The name of Daniel Ratiu has come up in conversations Pandurii were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

A hand in 3 of them from Joaquín Ibáñez — 7.71
Marked 7.71. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Pandurii sell Bogdan Man for $2.4M
Bogdan Man has left for Brondby in a $2.4M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Mihai Burca the difference as Pandurii beat Botosani
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Mihai Burca. 3‑1 against Botosani, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
The terraces24 Aug 2026
The crowd has taken to Nicusor Hagi
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
In brief
- Squad Nicusor Hagi falls out with a teammate over standards
- Squad Andrei Deac gets it from the manager
- Player ratings Bogdan Marin gives it away
