Quiet transfer deadline for Hertha

Not much noise was made by Hertha BSC during the transfer window.

Kaka was sent to Champions League participant APOEL in one move.

Former Hamburg man Aenis Ben-Hatira has now joined his hometown team, and the 23-year-old midfielder said "I hope I can take it to the next level."

Midfielder Daniel Beichler has gone out on loan to SV Ried after being at MSV Duisburg.

In addition, new father Rob Friend has been loaned to second-division Eintracht Frankfurt. Friend wasn't seeing much playing time anyway.

What these moves mean is that Hertha's squad is set as the club tries to cement a mid-table position. With five points from four matches, Hertha are on course for a creditable campaign. Right now midfield and central defense are the major problem areas while the strikers and goalkeeper look strong.

The next challenge is at league champion Dortmund, which will be without wunderkind Mario Gotze at the Signal Iduna Park. It's an ideal opportunity for Hertha to maintain their unbeaten away mark in front of the tremendous traveling support.
