Meh.

More than three days without a match? How boring. Oh well. Time for a news round. Still no official word on Lehmann, but I'm told that his deal is being finalised and it will last from between six weeks and until the end of the season. While I wouldn't expect him to spend that much time on the pitch, that mentality and experience and ability to bollock players who just don't give a shit would certainly come in handy.

In other news on a rather Djourou-esque kind of theme, the Swiss FA have been testing and probing Johan Djourou all day long and reckon he'll be fit by the end of March. The club have been quick to refute this though, saying that we don't know how long he'll be out for until he sees a specialist on Thursday. Watch this space, it'll be interesting to see how this one develops.

That's all the important stuff, in other news the Daily Mail 'understands' that Blackburn are set to offer £15 million for Nicklas Bendtner in the summer. What are your thoughts on this one? He's not the best finisher or even the best trainer the club has ever seen; but he does seem to score goals every now and then, e.g. the end of last season. Also, Fabio Capello has been heaping even more praise on Jack Wilshere as the English press look to do their best of making a massive pedestal for him to fall from. After all, the larger the fall; the more papers are sold. Anyways, the latest news is that at 19 years of age, Jack is being lined up as an England captain of the future. There's nothing I would like to see more than Jack wearing the armband for England, but this is ridiculous.

Also, the ToryTelegraph talking about Theo Walcott not coming back until after the international break. No big surprise, I'd rather he was building up his fitness than being rushed into the England setup to be honest. Also, Pedro Bothelo managed to grab a goal and an assist this weekend for Cartagena, check out the highlights here. Miquel looks set to get an oppurtunity in the run-in if we're stuck with just Koscielny and Squillaci, while there's rumours that Rangers want Kyle Bartley to stay for another season. Nice experience for him, but I'd rather see him come back and challenge Squillaci.

Also, Geoge Brislen-Hall almost ended up playing for Spurs as a scholar and a nice touch from Ryo Miyaichi. That's all for now folks, more on Lehmann & Djourou in the next few days if possible.
