here is a bit of the Petrescu article

95-times capped Petrescu believes Strachan - his former manager during a brief spell at Southampton - would be making a topclass acquisition should he follow up his interest in the 6ft 2in defender.
Petrescu, whose UEFA Cup-bound side are due to face Celtic in a closed-door game during their stay in Scotland, said: "I don't know about the price but I think Celtic will be doing good business if they buy Gabriel.
"He is a good centre-back who can play on the right or the left. He is physical and can play well under pressure.
"On the ball he is maybe one of the best centre-backs in the world.
"I wouldn't know whether he is well-suited to Scottish football but I know he is well-suited to Gordon Strachan's football.
"I know Gordon very well. He spoke to me about the player and I told him that if he buys Tamas he will be doing good business for the club."
