The Metalul Buzău Chronicle
Squad10 Aug 2026
A one-man rearguard from Relu Stoian
There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.
Boardroom10 Aug 2026
Metalul Buzău go back to the board over Brahima Doukansy
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $610.0K — a club that wants Brahima Doukansy enough to be asked twice.

Too dear: Metalul Buzău walk away from Brahima Doukansy
$570.0K was the most the club would pay and Petrolul Ploiești were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Metalul Buzău this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

FC Bihor Oradea take the points off Metalul Buzău
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

One of our own: Cristian Nedelcearu joins the Metalul Buzău first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Cristian Nedelcearu is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Adrian Keseru steps up from the Metalul Buzău academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Adrian Keseru 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.
