A Romanian Tale - FC Timisoara

[adiboier]

View attachment 372383
Velcea steps down after FC Timisoara is relegated. His replacement is Adrian Boier, a young and talented manager. Will Adrian be able to take FC Timisoara back to the first division?

Squad

We've got a REALLY good team. There is only one player who has his age above 30 and that's very good.

OUR BEST PLAYERS

Maybe the BEST. He is wanted by a lot of teams including CELTIC, but I hope he will stay with us one more season.

He is our main striker. Goga is wanted by 4 teams including RANGERS and READING

A really good winger.

No money so I guess we will have to sell some of our players.
​

My goals:
Win the Liga II Gr.2
Romanian Cup quarter-finalists
Set a new record for Most Team Points (currently 79 - FC Arges 2007/08)
Sign 1-2 Romanian youngsters

REVIEW

Liga II
FC Timisoara 7 - 0 Chindia Targoviste
Mera(3),Axente(26,36,67),Curtean(59,75),Popovici(84)
A lot of goals as we dominated the whole match.

Liga II
Gloria Bistrita 3 - 3 FC Timisoara
Axente(16),Mera(22),O.G.(46)
They scored in the 86th minute and 2 of our players got injured, so let's say it's an acceptable result.

We are 14 points ahead and I think winning the league is now a piece of cake.

- YOUTH INTAKE -
View attachment 372814
A fairly good youth intake,instead of one player. Sunda is the star of this youth intake. He has a 5-star potential and I think he can make it to the first-team next season.
