Lehmann - I've had offers
-
Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann claims he has received offers from other clubs interested in securing his services.
The Germany international's future at Emirates Stadium has been cast into doubt after he lost his place in the starting line-up, initially through injury and then with manager Arsene Wenger preferring to stick with Manuel Almunia.
Lehmann suggested last week he would be prepared to consider a move to Germany's second division in a bid for first-team football.
National team boss Joachim Low wants to see his No.1 playing regularly before next summer's Euro 2008 finals in Austria and Switzerland.
Thoughts
And Lehmann clearly believes he should be ahead of Spaniard Almunia in the Arsenal pecking order.
"I would like to be in the thoughts of my coach," Lehmann said.
"You can boil it all down to one question: Is the other goalkeeper better than me? If not, why am I not playing?
"I've shown I can win matches and titles. Even if he is just as good as me, I should be playing."
Lehmann has not ruled out staying with the Gunners, but insists there is already interest from teams keen to end his stint in North London.
He added: "There have been concrete offers. There have been some calls. But it's possible that I'll stay at Arsenal." -
he can leave. we dun even need him at all since he cant take the fact he has been demoted to 3rd choice keeper.
if not for his silly mistake for getting red-card in 2006 UCL final, we could have won the champ.

Now he maybe got offer.
*Magath open to Lehmann bid*
Wolfsburg coach Felix Magath will not discount a bid for Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann in January.
Lehmann has not played for the Gunners since August after failing to reclaim the No.1 spot from Manuel Almunia.
The German veteran is keen to play regular football in the second half of the season to boost his prospects of starting at Euro 2008.
He has hinted at a return to the Bundesliga, with Wolfsburg rumoured to be among the clubs interested in the former Borussia Dortmund keeper.
The Wolves' coach Magath publicly rejected a move for Lehmann a few weeks ago, but when asked at the weekend whether he would be on the phone to Arsenal, he told Bild: "I wouldn't discount anything out of hand."
Interesting
Speculation that Magath could move for Lehmann has been fuelled by his decision to replace current first choice Simon Jentzsch at half-time in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt.
Andre Lenz came on for Jentzsch and Magath is now eager to see how his two goalkeepers react to the situation before the winter break.
He added: "I have always stood by him (Jentzsch), but he hasn't been able to stabilise his form.
"Now I'm trying to help Simon in a different way. It will be interesting to see how he and Lenz react up until the winter break." -
