The Return of the King

A new striker before Austria (on the 10th of July)? How about a new striker today?
Well, not so much a new striker. A returning striker. Artur Wichniarek has come back, signing a two-year deal. At Armenia Bielefeld he was known as King Artur and was their main line of offense, scoring the goals that kept [...]

Where To Now?

It’s signed, sealed, and exit-interviewed: Josip Simunic has left Hertha after nearly 10 years.
I honestly thought it wasn’t going to happen. A bit of a boy-who-cries wolf scenario. A player can talk about leaving only so much before I stop believing him, and it seems that my entire time doing this blog he’s been [...]

I needed a bit of a break before I could write this- the mix of emotions for a Hertha supporter over the last just about a week and a half. From highs to lows, hope to despair, and the final confusion of what, exactly, to make of everything?
I still haven’t read up on, much less [...]
Planning for the Future
By: Abby | 3 Comments
It’s hard to comprehend that we’re four games away from the end of the season, and in just a short time the transfer window will be opened. The final games have taken on such importance and our final place in the table is still so up in the air that I can’t even think of [...]

Our chance to go top at the weekend (and possibly hold it, with other results) ended in how I expected/feared- by not happening.
Instead, a 1-1 draw at Bielefeld, combined with a draw for Hoffenheim and a win for Bayern (along with Hamburg’s loss) means that we’re third instead.
Most comments I’ve read have had [...]
Like Buses

As the saying goes, “_____” is like buses- wait forever, and then they all come along at once. (This seems to be very true in Seattle.) We can now put Hertha BSC Berlin transfers in the January window in the blank.
Just a few days after Marko Babic was revealed as a Hertha player, we’ve added [...]

I’ve got to be right every so often, right? And now, Marko Babic is a Hertha player.
The 27-year-old Croatian was last seen in the Bundesliga at Bayer Leverkusen, where he played for 7 years and 144 games. In 2007 he left for Real Betis, but never settled in Sevilla (to be fair, Betis is a [...]
Never Mind
By: Abby | 3 Comments
Remember that Australian I was talking about?
Forget it. His foot injury proved too problematic, so we’re still on the market. And my peculiar jinx- of ruining about-to-happen transfers by discussing them- lives on.
But, I’ve got to discuss them, jinx or no jinx. So I soldier on.
The next likely solution is Marko Babic, because [...]

Predicting them, writing about them, whatever. When I write about a signing, it tends to hit an unforeseen snag. When I predict a signing, it’s never that. And when I say that we’re not looking to sign anyone, we immediately get linked to a load of players.
For example, soon after I wrote my last post, [...]
