So big Sol has left Notts County after just 1 game at the centre of their team where they played away to Morcambe. The club as released a statement stating he left by mutual consent but none of the actuall reasons have been detailed. I wonder what is going on or if Sol simply realised he had made a mistake and did not have the desire to commit to the lengthy contract he had signed with Notts County. Many people (especially spurs fans) take the view that he runs down his contract so that he can demand a huge sign on fee at his next club as they will get him on a free transfer, such as when he signed for Arsenal. I however feel that he is an honourable player and servant to club and country. I think he signs a contract that he intends to honour fully and then when it is up for renewal, decide what is best for him then. I dont see anything wrong with this and think its about time spurs fans forgive him. It is of course now being talked about that he could move to spurs due to their defensive crisis but i cannot see that happening. I do wonder where he will end up though but only time will tell. I would like to see him in the premiership for 1 last season if he still has desires to go to South Africa and im sure theres plently of clubs that would take a gamble on him should they be able to afford his wages.

Jens Lehmann is in hot water again this week after being caught at the famous oktoberfest in Germany after his teams defeat at the weekend. He has now been dropped from the squad for wednesdays game as a punishment for this. Jens though is no stranger to controversy and because of that is one of the most interesting characters still in the game. Throughout his career he has been no stranger to the red card and has been a good enemy to both his team mates and officials but it is not them stories i wanted to mention but another 2 which i think sum up Jens perfectly. The first being the issue that his locals had with him shortly after moving into their beautifull town. Jens moved to the Bavarian town of Berg whilst playing for Stuttgart and then proceeded to make the 250km journey to training every day by helicopter!!!! Yes Helicopter, much to the annoyance of the locals as he tore up the peacefull skies around the area. The daily cost to Lehman was estimated to be around 1000 Euros!!!
The second story i wanted to mention and my absolute favourite is the notorious boot throwing incident. Whilst playing a match against Hoffenheim last season, their striker Sejad Salihovic lost his boot inside of the opposition half during the game. Trying to play on and keep possesion, the player notably carried on without the boot, however when possesion went down the other end, sneaky Jens Lehman wonders out of his area, picks up the boot and throws it onto the top of his net and pretends that he didnt do anything. Amazing, from a man in his mid thirties but still i think this is fantastic. The game will miss him when he retires. If you search on you tube, im sure you will find the video.
