I’m baaaaack

Hey kids, back in the saddle again following a looooong trip to Central Europe (and no high speed internet) and a nasty bit of emergency dental work (suffice it to say, I love my dog very much and will not *kill* him for knocking out two of my front teeth. . .)

After an interminably long offseason, the Bundesliga kicks off today with the spotlight match going to Wolfsburg v Stuttgart. Good thing HSV plays at Freiburg on Sunday–they need the extra training after this week’s debacles.

The Best of Times, the Worst of Times

This campaign had been most remarkable for Hamburg supporters. HSV were alive in all three competitions–the Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal, and the UEFA Cup in mid-April–and looking to finally get that no-silverware-since-1987 monkey off our collective back. We truly looked as though we belonged on the big stage in Europe among the top clubs, the perennial [...]

. . . If the Hamburg Offside is your only source of HSV news. Glad to be back. Once again my personal life has interfered with my life as a Hamburg supporter, which is a pretty nice way to refer to one’s self these days.

De Jong Update

It’s all done but the signing. HSV has agreed to Manchester City’s transfer offer of €20.5M, and now all that’s left is for De Jong’s agent to negotiate a contract for Nigel with the Citizens.
That’s all well and good, but what should HSV do with the dough? I’d love to hear your comments on:

The transfer fee is reported to be €15M (OR €16.5M, depending on the source), and this is not a tactic employed by Nigel’s agent to squeeze more money out of HSV during [...]
