The paperwork begins on Denis Lungu-Bocean
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. CS Afumați have done the hard part with UTA Arad, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

CS Afumați to lose Lucas Droyaux for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Lucas Droyaux has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Mamadu Silla 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 CS Afumați this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

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

Daniel Cicaldau steps up from the CS Afumați academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daniel Cicaldau 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.
