Gigi Becali (67) announced plans for the summer transfer window and the fact that he changed his mind about Ofri Arad (27), who will get another chance at FCSB.
Before the playoffs, now that the name of the new coach has been revealedGigi Becali also announced what he plans regarding the group of players.
The boss of FCSB claims that “5-6 players will leave” and that the same number of foreigners will come, after which Mihai Stoica will present the players he recently discovered, and he will choose.
Gigi Becali: “5-6 players are leaving, 5-6 are coming”
“I wanted to see Ngezana, Ofri Arad, Duarte, Thiam, so that we know what we are doing next season and who we are giving up. I mean, let's make a decision. It is not nice to say now what conclusion I drew. You will see them in the decision I made.
I don't want to talk specifically about the players now. I'm just telling you this: 5-6 players will leave, 5-6 will come. There are many worthless, that's why. There are some, for example, that I relied on, they helped us win the championship for two years and now we don't rely on them at all, you can't rely on them anymore. It's as if football has been erased from their minds.
There are no championship variants, no players. tomorrow (no – tuesday) I'm meeting with MM to see some players. They present them to me to see and choose. He has two defenders, two midfielders, two strikers, even three. Let me choose one of them. That is the situation. They are only foreigners.
Only and only with money I take them. Have I ever taken free players? Andre Duarte was free, it's true, but he wasn't really free, he had some problems there. I knew him from Craiova, I wanted him, but I don't take them for free. Ofri Arad had a medical problem, that's why he was free and it seems to me that I still paid something, I went to the impresario. I don't take free players unless there were problems, injuries.
How I did wrong with Deac, I will remember for the rest of my life. If we took him then, we had all the championships taken. The impresario demanded 5,000, 5,000 per month salary. I asked someone from the club, he told me that he is no longer a footballer, that he can no longer play football. He won all the championships with CFR, if it wasn't for him, we'd take them all.
I remember him as being relevant. If a player is injured but was valuable, you take him. But if he's free and that team doesn't extend with him… Well, it's another thing when he knows he's free and pulls out of his contract, the team doesn't let him go,” Becali told PrimaSport.
Gigi Becali: “Ofri Arad will start the championship, it will be tried”
Asked later if there were any players who impressed him last night, in the 0-2 draw with Hermannstadt, Becali named Ofri Arad. It seems that the midfielder will continue at FCSB, although the FCSB boss has said on several occasions that he will not stay beyond the end of the season.
“I liked Ofri Arad, the type I like: he plays fast and in front. I called MM, I said: “Know that it is possible…”. We will start the championship, it will be tried.
Or, for example, George Popescu. I said to MM: “He has such qualities, such handling of the ball, it's a pity he doesn't have masculinity”. We have nothing to do to give it to her, because it is from birth. He will continue, but he is too lazy. That childish indolence… in football there must be war”, said Becali.

Arad played 84 minutes in Sibiu, before being replaced. He played a total of 5 times for FCSB, twice in the play-out.
