Chiacu returns to FC Timisoara. Zicu, ready to follow him
Very discrete on the transfer market until now – after years of investments that haven’t brought the expected trophies, FC Timisoara re-signed Hristu Chiacu from Dinamo, who will come on loan for another season. The attacking midfielder could be followed by a player of a similar profile from the same club. Ianis Zicu, who was once under contract with Internazionale Milano and is out of favor at the Bucharest club, due to his mediocre performances and terrible attitude, has been spotted in Timisoara, where he will negotiate a deal with the Viola outfit.
On another note, the former Energie Cottbus defender Ovidiu Burca, currently a free player, has rejected “a tempting offer” from Timisoara, stating that he feels there’s an unstable environment in Romanian football. I’ll translate that for those interested: “FC Timisoara just had its accounts blocked, the club owner says at least once a week that he’s not motivated anymore to invest in the team and is at war with the local authorities”.
Zicu used to be good, but I don’t think he’d be much of a signing for Timisoara…
I think Burca did well to reject Timisoara, he should go to either Vaslui, Steaua, CFR Cluj, Unirea Urziceni, Rapid, etc. He has the quality for it.
It would be nice to have him at Craiova, that’s for sure 🙂
