Super 'Keeper Wins Dublin Gooners' Player Of The Season Award

The Arsenal's super goalkeeper, "Mad" Jens Lehmann, is pictured here with the Dublin Arsenal Supporters' Club's Player of the Season for the 2005/6 season. "Super Jens" was magnificent last season and may be in contention for the current campaign's award, although other players may challenge him for this honour.

Lehmann has been reported as saying that we wishes to leave the Arsenal at the season with a possible move back to Germany. I'm a big fan and would hate to see him go, although my heart still skips a beat when he comes rushing out of his area! Thankfully, he doesn't do this too often anymore. I'm not convinced that he would be easily replaced. Despite some recent solid performances in the cup competitions, I don't think "Fawlty" Manuel Almunia is good enough to be first choice 'keeper, and Mart Poom hasn't played at this level for some years. I've heard that Wenger is interested in signing Scott Carson who is currently on loan from Liverpool at Charlton Athletic. He has many admirers, but I haven't seen enough of him to make any sort of judgement. So, Jens, please don't go!
