Kim Kallstrom - the saviour? Arsene knows

Can you catch osteoporosis

[Chippy]

Please god let this be the beginning of the end for the senile old fool.

[Perryashburtongroves]

Fucking pathetic. If this is true then cancel the loan contract and pay him a few bob to fuck off.

I hope that is Wenger you are talking about

Good point! Tell Spartak Moscow that they can have the Swede back on Monday morning and we are throwing in a 'special free manager gift' too.

[Sam59]

You couldn't make it up... Would be absolutely hilarious is the club involved wasn't Arsenal !

When Frimpong was injured playing for Wolves, didn't they just cancel the loan and return him to us? Can't we do the same with this guy? We've probably still got the packaging...!

Same when Bendtner got injured at Juve i think?

yes, they returned him with the pre-paid label to sender with a note "not fit for purpose".

[armchair]

I quite like this new signing. Arsene does know after all.....

Kallstrom informed Arsenal of discomfort on arrival at club on Fri - MRI scan showed no damage, CT scan found back injury #afc #bbcfootball

So not only did the club willingly fail to strengthen in key positions, they knew the one player we had brought in wouldn't be available for over a month. How? How is it possible to be this inept? How?

[ElSquirrel]

So we are obtaining damaged players now?

BBC:
"New Arsenal signing Kim Kallstom is set for a spell on the sidelines with a back injury that was discovered in the medical before he signed on loan from Spartak Moscow. The 31-year-old Sweden midfielder sustained the problem on Tuesday while playing football on a beach during Spartak's pre-season tour in Abu Dhabi. He informed Arsenal of discomfort upon arriving at the club on Friday but, despite an MRI scan showing no damage, a CT scan found an issue with his back. The Arsenal medical team provided manager Arsene Wenger with the prognosis, but it was decided Kallstrom would still join and undergo his rehabilitation with the Gunners.

He is expected to miss at least Arsenal's next six games, in which they face Crystal Palace, Liverpool twice, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Sunderland. Kallstrom did not train with his new team-mates on Friday or Saturday and will briefly return to Sweden and Russia before moving to London and beginning a course of treatment. The former Lyon player, Arsenal's only signing in the January transfer window, joined on loan until the end of the season to provide cover for injured midfielders Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere, plus the suspended Mathieu Flamini."

So we sign an injured player to cover our injured players. Arsene knows.

What the fuck? So we're a rehabilitation centre for crocks now? (At least Sanogo now makes sense I suppose)

[Dodgyknee71]

Ermmmm none of you have 30 years of experience! Please stop moaning

[This is our club!]

If this latest story is true, I want to see the AKB's defend this latest master stoke, absolutely appalling and shows again utter contempt for the fan that stumps up money and supports this 'club'

[seaney70]

Even if we could get frimpong back wasnt he sent off today for barnsley? I really cant put up much more of wengers BS either

[Perryashburtongroves]

This is fuckign ridiculous and shows just how woefully negligent Wanker is. What is wrong with that *word censored*? He should be pressed on this matter for weeks now and be forced to come out and explain what the fucking hell is going on? Who is this *word censored* responsible to at the club and who on earth is going to hold this complete and utter fucking bell-end to account for his idiotic, brainless, *word censored*-faced actions?
Get this buffoon out of the club now.

If that isn't negligence and gross mismanagement, I don't know what is.

We decided to take him in & let him undergo rehabilitation with us? Wtf, out of the kindness of our hearts?! Any other players out there in Europe suffering with injuries & lack of playing time? Give Chauncey Wenger a call!

I'd get fired from my job for making shit decisions like that. Wenger will get a pay rise and a fat new contract.
