A fracture rules Daniel Cicaldau out for 15 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Viitorul will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Sergiu 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.

Andrei 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.

A fracture rules Daniel Cicaldau out for 22 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Viitorul will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

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.

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Luis Vega is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

At 25 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Ionuţ Cercel from FCSB for $260.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Daniel Chiriches has improved at 25, which nobody expected
Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.
