Unnecessary transfer to FCSB? Why the move announced today by Gigi Becali does not make sense

In full demanding, FCSB reprimands Malcom Edjoua in the lot. The 28 -year -old central midfielder was reserved last season, did not prepare with the summer champion and has not played for over two months. And the best efficiency given as inter, in 4-3-3, a system that FCSB no longer uses.
“We” transfer “to Edjoua. That's what MM said”announced, today, Gigi Becali, the FCSB owner, as a solution to the crisis of the team that reached 4 consecutive failures.
Edjouma has not played for 73 days!
At the end of the previous season, FCSB was informed on Edjouma that it will not be part of the lot in the next edition. Thus, the Frenchman did not carry out the training period in the Netherlands and did not play a minute in the season 2025-2026.
He negotiated with several clubs in this interval, with FC Botosani, with CFR Cluj, but each time the parties did not understand money. And because Edjouma wins well at the red-blue, 13,000 € monthly.
His last appearance in an official match dates from May 23, integralist in the last stage of the previous championship, CFR Cluj-FCSB 1-1. 73 days have passed.
Where and in front of whom to enter?!
Malcom Na was part of the Typ band of FCSB last season. He played 2,116 minutes in all competitions, well under Adrian Şut, for example – 4,344.
And Edjoua would now have a serious competition in the middle of the field, where the red-blue rely on the shot, Chiricheș, Lixandru and Alhassan.

The best season in Edjoa's career was 2022-2023, at FCSB. It scrolls 9 goals only in the superlig, but play inter, in 4-3-3. The favorite module now of red-blue is 4-2-3-1, with two defensive midfielders and a “decar” in the central area.
Over time, the Frenchman has been harshly criticized for his defensive game, which is why FCSB has chosen to use it rather in attack. How Olaru and Florin Tanase are now the main solutions on the post 10 post, Edjoua will still compete in a position in front of the defense – not where it was best, and with a hard competition.

Good in Botosani, oscillating at FCSB. Otherwise, weak
Born in Toulouse, Edjoua did not confirm in France. That is why in 2020 he signed in Romania, with Viitorul, where he also failed. He would leave the club of Gică Hagi early and go to Belgium, at KSV Roeselare. He did not play there, and in 2021 he returned to Liga 1, at FC Botosani.
After a consistent year in Moldova, he arrived in the courtyard of the red-blue. In the Capital he had oscillating evolutions and left Romania once, borrowed by Bari. He did not convince the Italians and last summer he returned to FCSB.
€ 800,000It is now worth Edjoua, according to Transfermarkt. His share is decreasing, as Malcom was evaluated at 1.5 million two years ago
