Rumoured Cristian Manea

[zolayes 14,489]

Please just be like Dan Petrescu

[killer1257 3,282]

Hm,I just hope that he develops so fast that we will never see Ivanovic as a right back again^^.

[King11Didier 916]

Nah, we ha(d)ve Wallace! (Is this guy still at Vitesse?)

[We Hate Scouse 10,260]

Nah, we ha(d)ve Wallace! (Is this guy still at Vitesse?)

Yeah doing nothing. Just like he will do here. He's a goner.

Wallace became a benchwarmer at Vitesse, he is unlikely to play for Chelsea.

[King11Didier 916]

Yeah, I know his "Chelsea career" is over. He looked really impressive in the summer after his transfer to Chelsea. I don't remember for how much we bought him, but it looks like we won't make profit from him.

About this boy, I can't say anything. I'm just hoping this won't finish as Wallace.

[OhForAGreavsie 5,773]

First glimpses of Wallace made me, and others too I think, feel that I had seen enough to doubt he was of the quality we need. On the other hand, first glimpses of Manea look far more encouraging and definitely make me want to see more.

Manager of Viitorul Gheorghe Hagi confirms that Manea were sold.

Rumoured we paid 3 mln. euro for him + 500 000 if/when he debut for our first team.

Super Dan Petrescu one of my all time Chelsea foreign imports, even tho we got him from Sheffield Wednesday and he had that training field incident with a young JT.

hopefully nationality isn`t his only similarity.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Indeed Hagi (greatest Romanian football player of all time and now Viitorul's owner) confirmed a few days ago that Manea is no longer his player and he's already signed with a big team. In fact, the terms were agreed last winter and he said he will reveal the name of the team after Romania U21's qualifying match against Armenia. That game is scheduled in five days.

99% his next destination is going to be Chelsea and sources close to Manea revealed that, in order to close the deal, Hagi specifically asked Chelsea to try and continue his development and find a team where he can be the undisputed right-back. Apparently Chelsea agreed terms with ADO Den Haag to send him on loan there and have him in their line-up week-in, week-out.

Manea did an interview a couple of days ago and he was also reluctant to reveal the name of his next club, but kinda talks like he's already signed for Chelsea. Here is the interview:

"He [Hagi] told me to come here [to the Romania U21 camp] and give my best for the NT. The squad has some fresh faces, there's always new things to learn and when this camp will be finished he [Hagi] will tell me where I'm heading to next season."

"A foreign league will always be a step forwards, first of all you learn a new language, new tactics, there is a new culture. It is an important step for me, should I leave. Should I stay, I'll continue to play for Viitorul, give my best, train harder trying to become better than I already am."

When they asked him if he can impose himself as a regular starter for Mourinho, he said: "I'm fine with English, I've learned it since I was a little kid. Should I sign for Chelsea, I'll give all of me, I'll work until I'm out of stamina. If it works out, then it's going to be good for me, if not, that's life. But there is no way it won't work out. If you fight for it and work hard, there is no way you will fail. I trust in me and I'm sure everything will be alright."

"My legs won't be shaking when I'll enter [Chelsea's] locker room for the first time. They are footballers and so am I, they've all started from the bottom, just like I did. It'll be a pleasure to work with them."

"Of course I want to follow Dan Petrescu's footsteps and hopefully one day, they [Chelsea fans] will chant Super Cristi like they did with Super Dan."

Chelsea sign teenager Cristian Manea - according to Viitorul Constanta CEO

Good luck to the kid, seems to have a proper attitude.

Loan to Mouscron

[the wes 7,212]

Loan to Mouscron

did he sign for chelsea?? And got loaned out??

[pHaRaOn 2,131]

did he sign for chelsea?? And got loaned out??

Yes, but there's still no official confirmation. I believe they wait until everything's done and dusted, and then confirm buy and loan, like with Pantic.

[the wes 7,212]

that deal has been dragging on for so long

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Meh, don't know anything about Mouscron, but I think Chelsea should have loaned him back to Viitorul in Romania. They're playing really good this season, one of the best teams in the league so far, they are finally playing in their own stadium that Hagi has built with his own money. And he would have been closer to the NT coaches.

Hopefully this loan won't get him off the radar, he really is the best Romanian prospect to have come through the youth ranks in the last years. Finally someone with the right mentality to play for one of Europe's giants in the near future.
