Dortmund Fans Don't Want Lehmann

With the news that Lehmann is taking time to consider an offer from the Bundesliga club, certain sections of Dortmund fans have mounted protests over the move.

During an indoor tournament at the weekend one banner read 'Enemy remains enemy- Lehmann out!'

A section of the official Dortmund supporters club nicknamed the 'Desperados' have also made their negative feelings over a potential move clear on their website.

Lehmann left Dortmund nearly five years ago to join Arsenal, but was never a popular figure at the Ruhr club, due to his earlier affiliation with rivals Schalke.

Despite the hostility towards the Germany international Dortmund’s financial director Michael Zorc believes Lehmann would be an excellent signing for the club.

"Those who have a clue about football all say that such a transfer makes sense" Zorc said.

The 38 year old keeper has said that he will make a definite decision "in the next few days."
