Daniel Graovac (31 years old) is The first transfer made by FCSB For the next season. The Romanian champion has provided his services from the CFR Cluj defender, in the last days of contract, an aspect that quickly propelled to the attention of “red-blue”.
More reserve than the basic man in Dan Petrescu's formation, the Bosnian is also a bet of Mihai Stoica, the one who labeled as “better than Homawoo”, the Dinamo stop.
In addition, the chairman of the Board of Directors claims that FCSB has not purchased a reserve, but a player who will have a positive team impact.

What at the recommended of Daniel Graovac at FCSB
Arrived in Gruia a year ago, the defender was used by Petrescu especially in the defensive right flank and less in the center.
Daniel Graovac did not excel in terms of appearances, having to stay on the cough for almost two months due to an injury suffered at the ankle level, after a duel at one of the training sessions at the end of the last summer.
He checked, therefore, only 17 matches in the Superliga, in which he registered decent figures for the internal competition, but under those of the right holders of Elias Charolmbous. Therefore, it is expected that it has a substitute role in the composition of the lot.
The player passed at Dinamo Zagreb's Academy impresses with short steps and duels one by one, especially asks for air, while the number of successful shares does not exceed 50%.
The Sports Gazette analyzed in detail, through the WYSCOUT monitoring, the Bosnian clues in the current season, in relation to those of Josue Homawoo, the Togolese that expires with Dinamo. The conclusion? Homawoo is superior to most chapters.

I brought Graovac because he is a player we know very well. I missed it when he was at Astra, although I offered a pretty important amount. Then he couldn't. Now, I tell you the story, Risto Radunovic told me he was free of contract. I always liked it, Gigi knew him, he liked him and ready. I made offer and he accepted. Risto started his career as sports director.

Whoever is a holder in Turkey has value. We always liked it, it helps us because we know its character, he is an exceptional boy. In my opinion, Graovac is over Homawoo. We need multipurpose players, who can cover the right, and left, and the central area. Homawoo is interesting, but Graovac is better detached.
