summer “news”
By: jhb | June 14th, 2009Not much happening at the Castroper Strasse. Rumour has it the VfL is in negotiation with the new shirt sponsor, whoever that might turn out to be. Several candidates to replace KiK (and their hideous red logo) have already turned away (Reno, and a local energy company), so it might be a very real prospect to start the season without a logo on the chest. The rumours, however, (and the only source is bild.de, so don’t believe it), say that Kassel-based MEG AG are interested in a 2.5 Mio € deal over two years. Doesn’t sound excitingly much to me, but better than zip, i guess. Plus, their colours fit ours much better than KiK:
On related news, if the pictures floating about in the interwebs are correct, our new away shirts will be profoundly ugly (see right). Now, I don’t mind to have the cheapest kit provider on the block (last season, our shirts were between 20 and 40 €), but if that means designs like that one, I know who’s not going shopping for that.
Transfer news: Cottbus wants 1.6 million for their striker Rangelov, so he’s going anywhere but coming to us. The management announced they are looking for two strikers and one midfielder, we’ll see what they’ll come up with. Probably some no-names, such as have been Sestak, Gekas, Mavraj etc in recent years. Another rumour sees danish right-back Bobbie Friberg da Cruz (what a name! Hope he’s going by the name of Bobbie on his shirt 
) heading our way, but he doesn’t seem to fit the requirements, plus the only source I’ve found is a translation based on inspired guesses from we-think-it-looks-like-swedish to german. Wouldn’t trust that too much. (link is here).
We also haven’t sold any player yet, things ar eterribly quiet around the Ruhrstadion. Let’s hope that no news is good news, and I’ll be right back for the first transfers as soon as they are coming in.

Well… the shirts aren’t that bad. It could be much, much worse!

Indeed it could. Do you know the Reebok-Rainbow-series of shirts we had in 1995/6? Maybe I’ll post some pictures of those, if the summer break stays too quiet.
