“One or the other not done”
A busy summer of transfers is behind Fredi Bobic: The sports director of Hertha BSC handled around 30 transfers, behind VfB Stuttgart the Berliners have the second-biggest transfer plus in the Bundesliga with 18.3 million euros. The roster change at the “Old Lady” will continue shortly.
Due to the World Cup in Qatar at the end of the year, the Bundesliga will pause for two months after the 15th matchday from November 14th. Time for Bobic to deal more intensively than usual with arrivals and departures in winter. “It’s now happening in quick succession until the World Cup, there are only eleven games left. After that there is plenty of time to do or refine something else. That’s a good thing for us clubs to have a little more breathing room,” Bobic said of the “picturequoted.

Because of the short first half of the season, the Berlin manager did not feel compelled to make last-minute purchases on the transfer market. “For many clubs and also for us it was already an issue: are we going to do something for eleven games? Or do we invest the energy in the group that is already there? We didn’t do one or the other, we’re almost on the verge of a break again,” said Bobic.

After the suspension of goalkeeper Rune Jarstein (27), Hertha had actually wanted to improve the goalkeeping position, but now relies on number one Oliver Christensen (23) in the youngsters Tjark Ernst (19) and Robert Kwasigroch (18) – apparently also, because a candidate declined. The “picture“ reports that Michael Zetterer (27) from SV Werder Bremen has rejected an offer from Berlin.
“We listened to a lot of options before the season,” said the number two of the green-whites behind Jiri Pavlenka (30) in an interview with the newspaper. “Because it was clear that the season would start with Pavlas in the box. But then I decided for myself that I wanted to accept the competition and not run away from it. Of course, that also has to do with the bond with Bremen. I want to prove myself here in my last year under contract.” An extension at Werder is also conceivable. “That is also conceivable, but a few things need to be clarified. But there have been no talks yet. Basically, I’m in a positive mood.”
