He has missed approx 19 league games since he joined but bear in mind he joined almost the day before the season started in summer 2012 so to get match fit may have taken 7/8 games plus a few suspensions etc not that bad compared to players like Wilshere, Diaby etc
He hasn't played since mid NOV but they also have had a winter break between 6 dec and 6 march....he's also played over 100 games for Sweden and is clearly no mug and that Swedish tabloid is full of BS it makes the sun look like the financial times.
Nice to read a sensible post.
You mean nice to read a post that fits your agenda. We just signed a player yesterday who wont play for five or six weeks because he is injured, how can that be defended in any way?
I don't believe for 1 min that hes out for 5/6 weeks. If that is the case, who ever signed him should be sacked.
What do you mean whoever signed him? Arsenal are a dictatorship everything that goes on at Arsenal is down to Wenger.He fucking signed him.And he will be rewarded with a £24m contract
Quite correct Don, coz he's turned out a crock who maybe sent back it's ''who ever signed him'' if he had turned out an excellent purchase it would be down to the greedy has been *word censored* that is now Wenger!

Kim is very injury prone player and nobody in sweden thinks he'll be fit enough to even play 10min of PL football
600 career appearances at 31, averages 46 games a season from the age of 18 indicates he is not injury prone at all.......
Exactly, glad someone actually took the time to look at the facts here. However, he wasn't ready to walk straight in and play 90 minutes, that was the more worrying aspect for me.
Good player though.
So is Abou Diaby, yet strangely no team enquired of his availability this transfer window

30 games since 2012 for Spartak........stats can be misleading!!

2012 was just over 12 months ago, so he played 30 games in 2013... that's quite good.. isn't it?

Wenger responsible for everything except signing Ozil you mean, surely?
Have to say Kallstrom signing was underwhelming to begin with but at least did seem to provide us with some cover over hectic upcoming schedule- but to sign him knowing he had an injury?? baffling
The injury obviously makes it much much worse and underlines how pointless the signing was.
But it was a ridiculous signing to start with. Be it through injury or season break or whatever, the bloke was going to be nowhere near match fitness having not completed a game in over 3 months. At the wrong side of 30 and with the best league he's ever played in being the one-horse Ligue 1 which Lyon cantered to 7 or 8 times in a row adapting to PL tempo is going to pose a massive problem. And what does it say that Spartak, the third best team in a crap league, are so willing to let him leave?
Which games were we going to target to ease him back to match fitness and help try and acclimatise him? Liverpool? Man United? Liverpool again? Bayern?
By that time we're through that run of games Ramsey should be nearing fitness and Rosicky and Wilshere will both be back. Complete waste of time and money from the get-go, the injury just emphasises the farce.
I do wonder whether there's anything in the fact we haven't added him to the first team squad on the website having added Park's loan departure. Might be nothing but perhaps we're reconsidering whilst Spartak are laughing all the way to the bank
