hmmm, if thats true its quite a risk. 3,5m for Lima and now him. For Hoeness' sake they both shouldnt flop.

I guess this deal is done then?

Favre never wanted Lima either. Hoeness was the one who wanted him. I honestly don't think he should have any say behind who we bring in. He's not the manager.

Favre was REALLY REALLY against bringing Lima over.

[Dandy]

So, it was 4.5 million Euros for a player who's had one decent season in the Swiss League. Hoeness is a ******* joke. This club is a ******* joke. No wonder we're in debt.

4.5 million Euros would have gotten us a more respectable player with less risk.

Also, we're selling Christian Muller to Cottbus. Instead, of you know, playing him in our midfield instead of lackluster Mineiro and half-assed Gilberto.

Honestly, **** this club sometimes.

[Timonator]

that sucks Dandy.
Christian Müller to Cottbus...i always thought he was a decent talent but injury hit him hard, still he should've been given a real chance.

Whats with all the other young guns? A few years ago, Hertha's youth academy was called "the best" in Germany. Instead of buying loads of unknown player for some millions, the club should give youth a chance. It'll pay off sometime, is cheaper and this way all the effort/money the youth academy put into young player wouldnt be for nothing.

[Dandy]

On the bright side of things, our bumbling around and idiotic attempts at assembling a decent football team has now resulted Cottbus signing their first German player ever.

[Gerry_BMG]

lol, Cottbus for BL-champ for this signing... anyway... if I was Hertha fan I would really be pissed how all the talents were "wasted for cheap". I doubt it is because of the character of the players really - for me this was just media-hype against them because it sold good and fitted the stereotype

[Timonator]

according to Bild, Gilberto will join Tottenham.

[Dandy]

4.5 million Euros in the bank for us. Now, to fight off relegation.

Relegation is no longer an issue...

Hertha have stabilized and there is no reason why they shouldn´t be able to advance in the table.

[Schwalker]

Whaddaya know...Herthas finances are getting better!!!

Bei der Versammlung konnten den Mitgliedern auch positive Zahlen präsentiert werden. Der Tabellenzehnte der abgelaufenen Saison, der dank des Gewinns der Fair-Play-Wertung die UEFA-Cup-Qualifikation erreichte, wird für das Geschäftsjahr vom 1. Juli 2007 bis 30. Juni 2008 einen Überschuss in Höhe von sechs Millionen Euro einfahren und die Verbindlichkeiten um 16,8 Millionen auf 30 Millionen Euro senken.

"Wir haben wirtschaftlich ein außerordentlich gutes Ergebnis erzielt", so Hertha-Manager Dieter Hoeneß. Der hohe Gewinn sei vor allem mit Transfererlösen, die Reduzierung des Schuldenbergs mit der vorzeitigen Vertragsverlängerung mit Vermarkter Sportfive bis 2018 zu erklären. Zudem gab Hoeneß bekannt, dass der seit 1999 bestehende Vertrag mit Ausrüster Nike "per Handschlagvereinbarung" um sechs weitere Jahre bis 2015 verlängert wurde.

In der kommenden Saison will Hertha erneut die internationalen Plätze angreifen. Die Berliner planen mit dem Rekordetat in Höhe von 71,1 Millionen Euro. "Ich vergesse unser Hauptziel nicht, irgendwann um den Titel mitzuspielen. Aber in der nächsten Saison wollen wir um einen UEFA-Cup-Platz kämpfen", sagte Trainer Lucien Favre.

Hertha thrash Nistru Otaci 8-1

Hertha certainly had their scoring boots on on Thursday evening, as they beat FC Nistru Otaci 8-1, in a UEFA Cup first round first leg qualifier, in front of 12,373 at the Jahn Sport Park stadium in Berlin. It was the highest ever score in Hertha's UEFA Cup history.




The home side put the visitors under pressure from the off, allowing them hardly any space to operate in. That tactic forced the Moldovans into making mistakes. Hertha created their first good chance after 10 minutes, as Marko Pantelic tested keeper Pyliunga with a shot. The Serb striker threatened again three minutes later as he blasted over, following a mistake by Shola Adewum.





Hertha open the floodgates
For Pantelic it was a case of third time lucky, as he easily opened the scoring from close range on 15 minutes, after being played in by a header from his strike partner Lukasz Piszczek. The Bundesliga side maintained the pressure on the 2005 Moldova Cup winners and were soon to be rewarded. Superb approach work saw Pantelic set up Raffael for the second Berlin goal (23.) from 10 metres out.




Cruise control
Hertha turned on the style and on 34 minutes Pal Dardai blasted the ball onto a post, Piszczek slid the ball home into an empty goal. Then it was the turn of Pantelic again, who scored from close range after the keeper could only partially parry an effort by Gojko Kacar. 4-0 to Hertha! The capital city side were still hungry for goals and that hunger was fed three minutes before the break as Sofian Chahed fed Piszczek, who had no trouble in scoring his second, and Hertha's fifth goal. Hertha led 5-0 at halftime.





Piszczek brace
After the break, Nistru Otaci closed down Hertha better, which prevented them from scoring as freely as they had done during the opening half, but not for long! Before new signing Marc Stein made it 6-0, second half substitute Valeri Domovchiyski had missed two scoring opportunities from promising positions. On 71 minutes, 17 year old substitute Shervin Radjabali-Fardi had only been on the pitch for a few seconds as he watched Raffael score Hertha's 7th goal from point-blank range.





Hertha turned out to be polite hosts, allowing Andrei Tcaciuc to pull a goal back for the visitors (77.). Only three minutes later, Lukasz Piszczek scored his third goal to make the final score 8-1 to Hertha.





Hertha can now look to the second leg in the Moldovan capital Chisinau with peace of mind. That game will be played on July 31st 2008.







Match details:




Hertha: Drobny - Chahed (71. Radjabali-Fardi), Kaka, von Bergen, Stein - Dardai, Kacar (67. Lustenberger), Piszczek, Ebert - Raffael, Pantelic (46. Domovchyiski)





Goals: 1-0 Pantelic (15.), 2-0 Raffael (23.), 3-0 Piszczek (33.), 4-0 Pantelic (38.), 5-0 Piszczek (42.), 6-0 Stein (68.), 7-0 Raffael (71.), 7-1 Tcaciuc (77.), 8-1 Piszczek (80.)





Attendance: 12,373

So, our European journey is underway.

"Liverpool have made them look ordinary".

Obviously by not beating a team who is playing youngsters.

[Dandy]

LOL. Liverpool made us look ordinary.

Like we're Chelsea or something.
