From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match23 Oct 2027

A bad afternoon for CFR Cluj against Viitorul

1-3 to Viitorul, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Match24 Oct 2027

CFR Cluj find a way past De Graafschap

De Graafschap made CFR Cluj work for it, but the scoreboard read 2-1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad25 Oct 2027

The manager makes an example of André Moreira

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad25 Oct 2027

Adrian Mazilu stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Adrian Mazilu and CFR Cluj agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad25 Oct 2027

CFR Cluj lose Taddeus Nkeng

15 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Boardroom25 Oct 2027

Inquest at CFR Cluj

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Squad25 Oct 2027

Aly Abeid left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Aly Abeid will call it something else in private.

The terraces25 Oct 2027

Everybody has an opinion about Mohammed Kamara

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Market25 Oct 2027

The Karlo Muhar talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. CFR Cluj know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Match11 Jan 2027

CFR Cluj are in real trouble now

Position 9, 18 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Alibek Aliev: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” CFR Cluj have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Aly Abeid signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Aly Abeid commits to CFR Cluj for another 4 years.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Mihai Popa 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.

Market11 Jan 2027

The Sheriff Sinyan talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. CFR Cluj know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Karlo Muhar has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Karlo Muhar keeps the shirt for now, at CFR Cluj's convenience rather than his own.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

193% of the income goes out in wages at CFR Cluj

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Ciprian Deac 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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Tidiane Keita loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Tidiane Keita. CFR Cluj will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Market12 Oct 2026

Alin Fică asks to leave CFR Cluj

“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.

Match10 Oct 2026

5 matches without a win for CFR Cluj

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around CFR Cluj are no longer polite ones.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Adrian Păun signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Adrian Păun commits to CFR Cluj for another 3 years.

Match10 Oct 2026

CFR Cluj come up short against Astra

Astra left with the points after a 1-2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad12 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Aly Abeid

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Tidiane Keita knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at CFR Cluj, and both men came out saying it was fine.
