Yes we do need that type around the team but the 25-29 year old versions not the 41 or under 19 versions
i agree, flash, but he is coming to sit on the bench for 10 games. he'll probably only play if we are already champions or out of the title race.

but i think of what he can add to the squad, by teaching those gutless fuckers how to defend properly and behave like men in battle. mad jens knows about those things (and winning trophies).
That might be the intention BG but you're forgetting this scenario _

1) Almunia gets injured
2) Lehmann (a 41 year old that retired months ago) is our only fit keeper

Wenger knew this situation could develop but for transfer window after transfer window he has done nothing about it.

A club with aspirations to be at the very top should NEVER be in this situation!!

Fuck if I'm reading all 8 pages.

Only one word from me to describe this.

Embarassing.

This is an emergency deal as we are the only club in the world to have three of our four goalkeepers injured, we are hardly going to have him as our long term solution. In my opinion it is a better option than getting some random third choice or fourth choice keeper out the French league who has no passion or connection to the club. Mad Jens is a winner and maybe just having him around in the dressing room will have a positive affect.

LiterallyJamie: @ArsenalGent After leaving Arsenal, Lehmann had a disastrous foray into banking with his brother. #lehmannfacts :coffeespit:

It is comparable to Sol coming back last season.

We have three first team and one reserve keepers injured simultaneously, no one could have made provision for that.

Martinez is too raw for the bench so Lehmann returning is worth a go.

I knew this was going to happen.

Was going to post a new thread on Sat ' a return for Mad Jens' but in the end didn't have time!!!

Obvious as
He's available, he's experienced, he's cheap.

Meets all of Wenger's cryteria.

Typical Arsene.

There is one major positive that people are forgetting would come with signing Jens Lehmann.

We'd be getting, on the bench or on the pitch, a proven winner who doesn't accept slacking playing and losing games stupidly.


We need this kind of veteran in the run-in for the Premiership title, which we are not out of (but our chances have taken a huge hit in the last few weeks).

Too late, mate.

To be fair no one could predict these injuries. I would much rather have Lehmann as a last minute reserve then some 18 year old from a second rate team. Yes he is older but christ he is experianced and would he really put himself forward if he did not think he was capable?

At least he still seems to give a fuck and wants to have a go. I'd love to see half as much desire from Denilson, Rosicky, Bendtner etc
