It went more quickly than expected. The largest transfer of the HSV might have gone on Sunday, at the latest on Monday completely over the stage. Nigel de Jong will leave the Hamburgers toward England. The Dutch national player should sign a three contract or four year contract in Manchester city and should collect per season five until six million Euro salary.
So far, so badly, could mean one out of HSV visibility. From sporting point of view that would be allowed to agree also. To be sure the HSV becomes economic one of the best businesses in the society story festzurren. Sport boss Dietmar Beiersdorfer obtained in the negotiations with the premier-League-club, that belongs out of Abu Dhabi to a billion heavy investor group, a unification on all highest level: The Englishmen explained themselves at the Saturday ready to pay 20.5 million Euro removing for de Jong (contract in the HSV until 2010).
To the final settlement of the Megadeals, a step is missing now only. De Jong had explained already the weekend ago that he would busy himself with the subject matter first after the conversations between one city and the HSV as well as the English club and its adviser Rodger lens. Lens stood at the Saturday also in conversations for several hours with the city responsible.
Yet the question remains who should replace de Jong. After evening newspaper information should not be alone an obligation of the current test player Marcel Ndjeng for the de-Jong-position in the defensive midfield angedacht. Beiersdorfer and trainer Martin Jol are in the permanent exchange over potential candidates. The Scoutingabteilung should have produced the coach already a list with candidates. Whether the names discussed finally mark stand van Bommel (Bavaria Munich) or Christian Poulsen (AC Maialnd) on that, likes to comment on none of the responsible.
