Arsenal are ready to make a £4.5m move for Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon (Mirror).

And what about Lehmann? I heard that he'll leave this summer.

 

[Red]

He is out of contract in the summer, think it is meant to be decided in next week or so if will stay at Arsenal.

Every time I remember Lehmann, I remember his look when Del Piero scored in his net in the World Cup. One of the best goals I've ever seen, I was celebrating like being mad, what a day it was!!!

Sorry for being off topic.

Anyway..not so good news

Nesta to quit Azzurri Friday 25 May, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alessandro Nesta has hinted he will retire from international football in order to focus more on Milan.

“If I want to continue at the highest level for many more years, then I have to make some choices. Leaving the Nazionale is one of them,” he told 'Tuttosport.’

The defender has never been very fortunate with the Azzurri, as he missed most of the 2002 and 2006 World Cups with injury.

Nesta was sidelined for four months this season after undergoing surgery for a dislocated shoulder, but his return to fitness proved an important boost in the Rossoneri’s Champions League triumph.

Now 31, the former Lazio star is contracted to Milan until 2011 and could follow teammate Paolo Maldini in taking an early retirement from the Italy squad.

Another Rossoneri hero, Gennaro Gattuso, is putting the Azzurri first. He pledged to dye his hair blonde if Milan won the Champions League, but pointed out he will only do so after the Euro 2008 qualifiers against Lithuania and the Faroe Islands.

“I can go around like that in Italy, but if I go overseas people will think I am insane,” said the midfielder.

i think matterazi has recently been better than him anyway not a huge loss. plus with barzagli improving he could be a cadidate.

And Nesta does always get injured with the Azzurri, but when he isn't, he's incredible. It's too bad.
