George Burca has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Viitorul they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom8 Mar 2027

George Burca signs for Astra while still at Viitorul

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. George Burca has agreed terms with Astra for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Bogdan Vătăjelu stays put

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

Squad8 Feb 2027

Tempers go at Astra

Ignazio Brambilla 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.

Words at Astra training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vlad Puscas 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.

Loan watch8 Feb 2027

Andrei Tanase counts the days

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

Squad8 Feb 2027

Paul Tanase knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Paul Tanase trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The Ignazio Brambilla story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Ignazio Brambilla signs something — a contract at Astra or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Astra borrow Răzvan Barstan

A season-long look at somebody else’s player: Răzvan Barstan arrives from CFR Cluj with something to prove and a return ticket in the drawer. Good loans make everybody richer; this one starts Saturday.

Ignazio Brambilla 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 Astra this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Vlad Puscas 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.

Marius Tanase arrives on loan

Astra have taken Marius Tanase on loan from Viitorul — cover where cover was needed.

Market1 Feb 2027

Astra come back empty-handed

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

Squad1 Feb 2027

Juan Ignacio Blanco 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.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Words at Viitorul training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matteo Duţu 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.

Squad1 Feb 2027

No hiding place for Orlando Osorio

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Orlando Osorio, and the manager let it.

Loan watch1 Feb 2027

Ianis Nita has seen enough of FCSB

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Viitorul, and 0 appearances in 25 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Marius Moldovan asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
