Mihai Stoica, the president of the FCSB Board of Directors, commented on the rumors that Denis Drăguș, the Romanian international, would be willing to come to the red-blue team.
Certain statements appeared in the Turkish press in which Denis Drăguș said that he would like to work with Mirel Rădoi. Mihai Stoica does not think that Denis Drăguș would leave the Turkish team because he is paid very well. Also, MM Stoica revealed that it is Gigi Becali's “weakness”.
Mihai Stoica spoke about Denis Drăguș: “I know it's Gigi Becali's weakness. He loses a lot of the ball”
“I don't think he said anything like that. Drăguș has a big contract there that we cannot secure. I would be surprised if Drăguș would leave Turkey and accept a smaller contract with us. He is also under contract.
I know it's Gigi Becali's weakness. He likes it very much. I don't know why, but he really likes it. Gigi is very attentive to attacking footballers who do not lose the ball. But, at the same time, he likes Drăguș a lot and says he is the best Romanian striker at the moment. He has certain qualities, but loses a lot of balls. This can be proven. I pay attention to the matches. He is a power player, who has executions. It fluctuates. He had a good season at Gaziantep, but he didn't have good seasons elsewhere. The best player should play everywhere”, said Mihai Stoica on the Fotbal Show broadcast by Prima Sport.
Ofri Arad will join the integrated team after the match with FC Botoșani, next week. He will probably be fit for the match with Oțelul Galați. Chiricheș returned. Something leaves him, something else takes him. He is 36 years old, he has been tried. He's had problems from his ankles to his shoulder throughout his career. Cercel had surgery, he trained normally, but he developed acute laryngitis and is out. He doesn't train for three days. We have had a virus in the dressing room for a month, some have not recovered until now.

What Denis Drăguș said: “If he liked me too, it would make me happy to work with him again”

This season he played 19 matches, scored twice and provided an assist.
Denis Drăguș has played in the Super League only at Farul Constanța. He also has Standard Liege, Genoa, Gaziantep, Trabzonspor, Eyupspor in his CV. He has the most matches at Standard Liege: 60. He is quoted at 2.5 million euros.
