what a great fucking stadium, it looks like a big cake. I like cake.
WouldLemala & Chadli needn't worry about a thing!
This face of him was taken just some seconds after he scored that goal for Steaua (bycicle kick) in Europa League group stage,season 2012-2013,when Steaua won home vs.Molde 2-0 (champion of Norway i n2012) ,Vlad opening the score 1-0...Let's hope he's got a bit of the Phil Jones about him in terms of skill as well as facially.
Guys, i don't say that i know the all the truth,but this i want to present for you all,what i saw in a year and a half (winter 2012-summer 2013) in the stadium Live,or from TV (i don't missed any Steaua game last season,or present preliminaries Ch.League 2013) about Vlad Chiriches.
These are my qualificatives (unofficial) ,trying so much possible to be objective about Vlad Chiriches,what he played for Steaua this time,I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL BE with him in England from now on (i hope to play like he did for Steaua the same thing),this data base of mine judging him like scouter... (if ,but i don't have diploma on this,just playing like i was scouter)
Football manager PC game style of judging him , possible error: + or - 1 point,in giving him qualificatives with him in full fit on the pitch.

it's about Vlad matches in Steaua t-shirt vs.other romanian teams in our first league,NOT PREMIER LEAGUE,he played just 2 games in his life vs a brittish team,Chelsea in Europa League ,Last 8 round in march 2013,1-0 victory home ,and 1-3 on Stamford Bridge (he scoring the only goal of Steaua in Chelsea stadium!) just thinking about his morale when he play on Stamford Bridge again,probably Cech will fear with Chiriches presence on the pitch...)
Thanks! for your attention
about private life,His parents split their marriage when he was young,Chiriches have now a fiance,a romanian girl (24 years old ,7 months older than him),she's student in a university from London,her family is established in London from some years,in the next summer the young couple will organize their wedding...
he's not that type of player spending time in the nightclubs,all nights long,drinking and fighting with paparazzi in the morning,he's quiet person,a nice guy,for sure,being in his free time,he just spend time with his fiance,together,maybe visiting the downtown of London,shopping time for his future wife,a restaurant dinner in two,then in the evening they going home (at her home ,where she and her parents lived in London)... paparazzi just will fail believing that he will be the "new Mutu" ( romanian star Chelsea problem player in 2003-2004)...
sorry ,paparazzi,but he's family person type,not a savage party bachelor...
Is she 24years and 7 months older than him? or is she 24 years old, and 7 months older than him?
Let's hope he's got a bit of the Phil Jones about him in terms of skill as well as facially.
(my joke now): FC Barcelona transfer the player in 2015 from Tottenham = 35 millions euro...
Having seen him play frequently for you Steaua, do you think he can progress to be one of the world's best centre backs and therefore warrant a transfer to a bigger club than Spurs?
(Vlad Chiriches) Things to now about his career until now:
2006-2008: Benfica Lisabon (Portugal) player (youth sector) (16 years-18 years)
2008-2010: Inter Curtea de Arges (romanian second league) (18 years-20 years)
2010-2012: Pandurii Targu Jiu (romanian first league) (20 years-22years)
2012 (winter)-2013 (summer): Steaua Bucuresti (romanian first league,no.1 in Romania) 22 years-23 years
2013- ??? TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
Romania (Under 21) - 3 caps (2010-2011)
National team of ROMANIA (2011-???):19 caps
Romania - Hungary (6th september) - 20 caps (and first game as our captain!)
Pandurii transfer the player from Inter Curtea de Arges in 2010. = 300.000 euro
Steaua transfer the player in 2012 from Pandurii = 1,3 millions euro.
After 1year and 6 months,Tottenham transfer the player in 2013 from Steaua = 9,5 millions euro.
(my joke now): FC Barcelona transfer the player in 2015 from Tottenham = 35 millions euro...
So he's pretty weak in the air then?....
4:27 of this video, he botches the long ball but sprints back fast enough to make the last ditch tackleThe Romanian chap I work with tells me that heading is the weakest part of his game, unfortunately.
Seriously speaking, from what I've seen he does have a lot of attributes that Barca would find appealing - it's why I'm glad we've signed him!
Having seen him play frequently for you Steaua, do you think he can progress to be one of the world's best centre backs and therefore warrant a transfer to a bigger club than Spurs?
Steaua young playmaker ,Stanciu (22 years old) must to grow much more (good technical skills,but not so well physical,must to improve much more on his fitness...but the best player of Steaua is Alexandru Bourceanu (defensive midfielder,28 years old),national first team key player,and now have that status for the team (Steaua) what Steven Gerrard represent for Liverpool...Fiorentina,Feyenoord,Stuttgart wants him now i heard,possible transfer in the winter pause... (rumours status)maybe we can sign nicolae stanciu next
