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
View attachment 372459 PRE-SEASON & TRANSFERS
We had a good pre-season, losing only one match to REAL MADRID. Yeah,that's right we played against REAL MADRID in a Friendly Cup. We haven't done many deals,mostly selling some players,who weren't good enough.
