This season seems the perfect chance for Hertha to qualify for a direct CL spot and that way cash in a lot of money to improve the roster further. Cant have games like the one yesterday then, though.

Yeah Wolff was amazing. One of the best goalkeeper performances I have seen in handball.

France and Eastern European (Hungary, Poland, Croatia...even Serbia) countries handball has at least equal popularity I believe.

No freaking way handball is as big as basketball and tennis in France Foye. Basketball and tennis is also bigger in Serbia.

People only care about handball in Germany when they go far in major tournaments. Like I said before, it's only popular in the Northern part of the country(not even Hamburg, but places like Flensburg and Kiel) because it's close to Scandinavia and you have many there with Nordic roots.

Never understood why Handball does not have stronger following in NA. It's fast-paced, plenty of scoring, rough.

Josip Drmic kommt zum Medizincheck nach Hamburg. Danach Leihe bis zum Sommer.

Well, I'm pretty sure what will happen in two weeks, when we travel to Hamburg...
And loans haven't worked for us in like forever...

Anyways, this is an english speaking forum so it would be better if we kept it that way and don't start writing stuff no one else can understand.
I mean, I don't see any of the guys post in italian or spanish in their respective threads.

Drmic is like a pure counter attacking striker. So he should work better in Hamburg than in Gladbach.

If only the West Ham-Drmic link had had any truth; or BMG had gotten Mehmedi this past summer instead. *sigh*

Drmic actually has the skill to play in possession; he just hasn't had confidence since leaving FCN, and with that his touch/decision-making has evaporated. Going to HSV could be good for him.

DD12 · Post #36 » by **DD12** » Sun Jan 31, 2016 10:59 pm

West Ham just got Emenike from Fener.

John Terry leaving Chelsea in the summer and is interested in playing for an European club.

I would take him at HSV. Think he would be interested as well. Big club, great city, easier place to settle in for an Englishman than Italy is(Ashley Cole). Problem is his wage demands. If that's the case then maybe Bayern could be an option, him and Ancelotti know each other from Chelsea. He is still a top class defender and still has one good season left in him before MLS/China/whatever.

Seems like Hannover have given up on the battle against relegation. Dealing away Marcelo (one of the few at least average players they have on the roster) right at the deadline.

Then again we will probably give them some hope again on Saturday. :lol:

Yeah, weird move. It's cool though, I really don't need Hannover in the BL.
