Squad17 Dec 2035

A one-man rearguard from Lisandru Olmeta

There were 13 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.

Squad17 Dec 2035

A knee injury of the worst kind for Denis Kirashki

52 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Rapid Bucharest lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad17 Dec 2035

Words at Rapid Bucharest training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kévin Boma 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.

Match15 Dec 2035

A bad afternoon for Rapid Bucharest against Dinamo Bucharest

1‑2 to Dinamo Bucharest, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad17 Dec 2035

Seb Palmer-Houlden 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 Rapid Bucharest this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout17 Dec 2035

Niki Radovič gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout17 Dec 2035

A promise honoured for Ümit Akdağ

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Rapid Bucharest told Ümit Akdağ something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout17 Dec 2035

Interim Coach answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Loan watch17 Dec 2035

Nobody is scoring past Jack Dallimore at Dinamo Bucharest

9 shut-outs in 14 games. A goalkeeper’s loan is judged on the afternoons when nothing happened at all, and Jack Dallimore has been having a lot of them.

Market10 Sep 2035

Only the photograph left for Luka Raičević

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Luka Raičević will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Rapid Bucharest the goodbyes have quietly begun.

The dugout10 Sep 2035

Denis Kirashki keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Rapid Bucharest may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad10 Sep 2035

Words exchanged at Rapid Bucharest

Luka Raičević 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.

Boardroom10 Sep 2035

Rapid Bucharest agree a free transfer for Cristian Moldovan

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Transfer targets10 Sep 2035

Rapid Bucharest rebuffed over Ivan Bober

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. CSKA Moscow have kept their man, and Rapid Bucharest go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Transfer targets10 Sep 2035

Eric Somandru stays at CFR Cluj as time runs out

A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. Rapid Bucharest will try again when the window opens; CFR Cluj may not be selling by then.

Squad10 Sep 2035

Ştefan Senciuc 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.

Market10 Sep 2035

Talks stall between Rapid Bucharest and Kévin Boma

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout10 Sep 2035

No hiding place for Mihai Iancu

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

Boardroom3 Sep 2035

Rapid Bucharest give the job to Interim Coach

The club looked outside for a month, found nothing it preferred, and handed the job to the man who had been doing it anyway. He knows the building; now he has to prove he knows the rest.

Transfer targets3 Sep 2035

Fee done, terms next for Eric Somandru

Rapid Bucharest and CFR Cluj have settled on $270.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

The dugout3 Sep 2035

Razvan Stanciu keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Rapid Bucharest may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Boardroom3 Sep 2035

Rapid Bucharest close the window on a squad of their own making

16 in and 25 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets3 Sep 2035

Petr Hodouš will not be coming to Rapid Bucharest

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Slavia Prague is saying, and nobody at Rapid Bucharest is enjoying the guessing.

Squad3 Sep 2035

A falling-out at Rapid Bucharest

Luka Raičević and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market3 Sep 2035

The Lisandru Olmeta question follows Rapid Bucharest around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Lisandru Olmeta’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad3 Sep 2035

Words at Rapid Bucharest training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kévin Boma 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.

Boardroom3 Sep 2035

Fabian Mazur will join Rapid Bucharest for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Fabian Mazur has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Rapid Bucharest have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

In brief
