Mad Jens to return??!

"He [Lehmann] belongs in the Muppet Show, on the couch or in a mental institution." Tim Wiese

Wow, so apparently The Professor (although an increasingly dumb one) is mulling over re-signing Mad Jens. This is absolutely absurd! Who would have thought he would ever bring his eccentric and entertaining ways back to north London.

However, in spite of the nostalgia surrounding Lehmann's likely move, this appears to be a potential banana skin for the Arsenal, as along with his considerable ability, he always appears to bring with him some element of controversy and comedy. Who knows what he might come up with this time! There always seems to be a significant degree of unpredictability with regards to his behaviour. Certainly, with the Gunners gunning for the only remaining trophy they can hope to win (painful fact), any negative publicity or attention on Lehmann would be a most unwelcome distraction.

Perhaps even more significant is the resulting reunion between Lehmann and his great "pal" Manuel Almunia. With the both of them once again in the same team, the old scars of their less-than-amicable relationship could be reopened. If the two of them do indeed start another round of public bickering, it would be terrible for Arsenal's charge to the title.

That being said, Mad Jens certainly brings with him a wealth of experience and quality, and if no significant off-the-pitch matters arise, he would be a useful addition.

All the best to the Gunners!!
