Are we nearly there yet?

With a week before the start of the Bundesliga season for 2015/16 and just a few days before the DFB Pokal match against Armenia Bielefeld the tension is building. 
In the Bundesliga Media Day in Berlin last week the new shirt complete with the new shirt sponsor was shown for the first time (as far as I am aware).  I’m not sure about it myself; the away shirt doesn’t look too bad but the green in the logo against the blue and white?  For all my opinion is worth, I’m glad I have bought one without the logo.

I am not keen on the look of the home shirt with the logo (and the green “swish”) but then I really don’t like gambling so that doesn’t help.  These are just my personal opinions and when it comes down to it The Old Lady needs the revenue coming in from Bet-At-Home.com so they are here to stay for a few years at least.
Looking forward to the 2015/16 campaign I confess that I am still a little nervous about the Old Ladies prospects.  Our ability to score goals is still a pretty key issue which may not have been addressed over the summer as well as many would have liked.  The preseason matches do little to bolster my confidence as we still appear to lack the punch in the last quarter.  Salomon Kalou has yet to develop an eye for the game in the Bundesliga and is too easily taken out of the equation.  His fellow strikers Sami Allagui and Julian Schieber are both injured still so we’ll have to wait for a while to see what they can add to the strike force this season.  Midfielder Alexander Baumjohann, recovering from his second ACL tear has had two years without professional football and will need time to recover both his match fitness and his form.
We’ve said goodbye to some established Hertha players including Peter Niemeyer and Sandro Wagner who both move to newly promoted Darmstadt.  I for one wish them well but perhaps not so much luck when they play against Hertha!

Our ranks have been swelled a little with the addition of Czech midfielder Vladimír Darida (SC Freiburg ) who if I remember correctly scored in his first game for Hertha.  We also now have Mitchell Weiser who arrived earlier in the summer on a free from Bayern.  Time will tell how the newcomers integrate into the team and what impact they can have.  As usual, I am looking forward to the new season but I am nervous as to how things will unfold.
