Totally Not Happening. Oh Wait, Make That Totally Happening.

By: Abby | Comments 4 Comments

When I left for work this morning, everywhere (including the English version of the Hertha website, which has yet to change) was reporting that the Gilberto transfer had somehow collapsed and we would be paying his salary for another six months, and then not getting any transfer fee for him when he left in the [...]

No Surprises

By: Abby | Comments 5 Comments

But nice to see anyway. I don’t count a game as won until the whistle blows, and I don’t count a player as signed before it’s announced on a club website. Either club, really.

Sieglos No More

By: Abby | Comments 2 Comments

Hertha won their first of the new year’s friendlies on Saturday (previous entries: a 0-1 loss to Grasshoppers Zurich, a loss on penalties to Rapid Vienna after a 2-2 draw, and a 0-0 draw to TUS Koblenz), beating Kaiserslauten 1-0 at their Fritz Walter stadium.

Offiziel!

By: Abby | Comments 3 Comments

I actually have something legitimate to post! Huzzah!

The newest Herthaner, officially announced, is 20-year-old Serbian midfielder Gojko Kacar, which is only a bit easier to spell than Ljobomir Fejsa (news on Fejsa: FIFA declared his contract is owned by Hadjuk Kula, not FC Metz, which means we have to keep dealing with the president who’s [...]

For Reals?

By: Abby | Comments 8 Comments

It’s being reported that Tottenham Hotspur are going to purchase Gilberto. As in, now. For £2.5 million. 3.4 million in Euros. As opposed to at the end of the season. When he’d be free.
I’m really hoping this isn’t a joke and they really want to do this. I’m almost afraid to write about it in [...]

You Say Training, I Say Trial

By: Abby | Comments 5 Comments

Sources are indicating that Bryan Arguez is all but signed for Hertha. As I mentioned before, Arguez was supposed to (according to US sources anyway) be in Berlin/Tenerife only for a training session, but he’s impressed so much that it looks as if he’s going to be signed up anyway. Transfer fee is supposed to [...]

The Hertha Crèche

By: Abby | Comments 10 Comments

The transfer season goes on and the rumors about new Hertha signings continue to grow apace. And in keeping with Favre’s well-known youth policy, the ones that seem most plausible are ones that are fairly young.
Signs are pointing to the upcoming signing of 19-year-old Serbian midfielder Ljobomir Fejsa. He currently plays for Hajduk Kula and [...]

No Swelling to the Neck Arteries

By: Abby | Comments 5 Comments

So the first game of the new year for Hertha has come and gone in Tenerife, and the result was a 0-1 loss to Grasshoppers Zürich. Not much can be said about it, since I didn’t watch it, and it was a friendly at summer camp in Spain, but it is notable that new signing [...]

Vacation! (OK, Maybe Some Training Too)

By: Abby | Comments 5 Comments

Another chilly, wet day here in Seattle. I got myself soaked and cold while heading out to lunch. Makes me very envious of the Hertha boys, who are gearing up to leave tomorrow for their training camp in Tenerife.
