French Connection

Happy Monday?
First up, three of our French players have been "ignored" by their national team. Clichy, Diaby, and Sagna will sit out for Euro 2008. If you ask me, I feel bad for them, assuming they wanted to represent their country, buuuuuut I feel super mega happy for Arsenal, who will need and want rested players for the CL qualifiers and the start of next year.
I'm not so sure that Diaby is world class yet, but the additional experience would do him good, of course.
The other bit of news is that we've been linked with a number of French players now, but really, who knows what the chances are. I'd give you the names beyond Nasri and Hatem Ben Arfa, but if I linked every name we'll be associated with, there'd be no end to the list. All speculation and rumor, right now.
Arsene, change that!
And finally, it looks like Lehmann may head for Germany. Good for him. I always liked him, especially for how scrappy he is. Jens reminds me of a hockey goalie....without skates. And pads. And a mask. But just as pissy.

In support of Arsenal FC, former Arsenal players, and the current manager, Arsene Wenger. Oh, and there's some non-Gunner perspective from Addster as well. Balance.
