Florin Gardoș

[PES Stats Database]

Florin Gardos can be considered one of the shooting stars in the romanian league due to his impressive debut in the Steaua shirt. He's a very tall and yet fairly pacy and technical player who is being compared to the greats such as Belodedici or Popescu due to his composure on the ball. Something he definately needs to work on though is using his physique as he isn't as dominating as you'd expect it from a 1,93 boy and he generally makes alot of mistakes especially in the CB position because of his lack of experience.

Shirtname : GARDOS

played a couple of games as DM and did fairly well there

[PMC]

update considering his fantastic performances as a DM lately.

[PMC]

total update after half of a season.

People originally compared him to Goian (myself included) before actually paying attention to this guy. I personally consider him more similar to Tamas physically as Gardos is alot more mobile and faster than your average 1,94 player. He suits the modern profile of a top talent but needs alot more experience in order to succeed. His positioning and TW aren't up to par yet but that's because its his debut season in Liga1. Despite this he was called up for the NT already.

this figure + abilities = Weak-at-Pass version Rijkaard?

[PMC]

he could very well become a top player... his passing is stil a bit erratic but he's having his 1st season in Romania's highest league and I'm sure he'll improve there. His elegance in possession implies that he surely knows how to treat a ball but he's a bit too hectic and unexperienced to provide quality passes.

[Raulic]

In the last match he tried and succeded very accurate long pases and he used very often the slide tackle to get the ball.
Other suggestions ?

[PMC]

agreed but I'd like to see a few more games 1st

sliding might be an option though

[Raulic]

As you wish .
Anyway he is a nice guy, safe defender, makes clean tackles , great prospect for our football.

yeah but his positioning is still woeful at that level... he's a natural talent but not very educated it seems... he reminds me a bit of Toure

[PMC]

I think explosive power can come down a bit... imo he's comparable to players like Hummels but just a tad better and not by this much.

[Raulic]

Good luck here !

He's on loan at Universitatea until the end of the current season.
He's very unlikely to renew his contract with Southampton once it expires at the end of June.
Most likely to join a Romanian club, not necessarily Craiova though.
