Hildbrandt´s contract expires June 2005. But he was supposed to sign a new deal on December 1st 2004, which he did not.
I checked the biggest VFB Stuttgart fan forum and these guys pretty much think, that he is gone. The signs are obvious.
It makes a lot of sense: Stuttgart is a good team and this would keep Jens´hopes open to be in the WC 2006 squad (opposed to warming the bench at Arsenal).
So I reckon chances are that:
a) either Hildbrandt stays another year in Stuttgart and then switches to Bayern Munich after Kahn retires
b) he´ll get signed by an english club (rumours on the VFB Stuttgart site are: ManU and Arsenal)
But swapping Jens for Timo would be a great deal. We did that before with Jens and Warmuz, didn´t we? :wink:

It's strange how we haven't been linked with Hildebrand as of yet because he is one of the better goalkeepers around. I suppose Arsène knows best!

Its a question of who offers him the most money because he will be on a bosman. Utd look favourites because the arsenal board do not give big contracts to goalies as was proven when we tried to finalise the deal with Carini who wanted something around £30,000 a week. You also have to wander if wenger actually rates hilderbrandt, because if he did then he would be well aware of the situation he is currently at borussia.

Re: Sammer considers Lehmann move
I hope this happens.
I've said it many time over already....Hilderbrandt would be the best option for Arsenal....and to think we could off load Lehmann in the process ....well thats just icing on the cake if you ask me.

Niemi is sounding off about wanting to go to ManUre and I think Fergie might be interested...
I'd love to see Hildebrand (this is the correct spelling people!) at Arsenal, but I highly doubt it will happen. It seems that a swap plus cash could be workable, Lehmann obviously isn't worth as much as Timo. But with Arsène's infatuation with Almunia recently, I'm not so sure he will be going for a 1st choice keeper at all.
Though you can never tell what Wenger will do...until it's already done~ :wink:

It all depends, whether Arsène really sees a long-term Arsenal No1 in Almunia.
If yes, there will be no swap deal. If no - we might have an excellent bargaining position.
But Hildebrand has never been linked to us, nor has Arsène said anything about him...

Surely, if they got a contracted Lehmann, and we got a Hildebrand whos contract is running out, we'd have to pay next to nothing.
Also, if they genuinely want Lehmann, it puts us in a strong position regarding Hildebrand as we may be able to do a deal that sees him move as part of that transfer, and not go talking to every club possible.
Is it me, or was he seperated from Jussi Jaskalaainen at birth? Weird.

Could be a good sign though, as Arsène likes to keep his transfer-moves secret :wink:

true. wenger doest reveal his dealings. Hes a man of mystery. Might have signed a couple of players already, but doesnt want to tell us.

Yeah, we never heard of a link with Reyes. :roll:
The whole Hildebrand thing is the same as the Kuffour thing, and the Kalou thing. Never even an inkling that we've even been interested, but some people are so sure we are.
Now Stutgart want Lehmann (apparantly), we can think that maybe Wenger might consider trying to broker a deal.

Not really much of surprise that Stuttgart fans are asuming that Arsenal and United are interested in Hildebrand considering that their probably the two clubs who most in need of a top goalkeeper.

The way I see it, Wenger must go for Hilderbrand.....get rid of Lehmann in the process. It just has to be!
