A knee injury of the worst kind for David Dănăilă
131 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Concordia Chiajna lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Words exchanged at Concordia Chiajna
Nicolae Carnat and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

6 unbeaten for Concordia Chiajna
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation Concordia Chiajna did not have in the autumn.

Alexandru Burcea has seen enough of Unirea Slobozia
“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 Concordia Chiajna, and 5 appearances in 10 say he has earned the hearing.

Wages eat 94% of everything Concordia Chiajna earn

In brief
- Boardroom Concordia Chiajna counting the cost
