We get players injured no matter whether they have played often or infrequent. Anyway this 2-3 months stance is supposedly inaccurate says Ornstein.Quote:

a back injury in a first training session does suggest the player wasn't fit.
Exactly.Quote:

Isn't the point of a medical meant to determine this?Quote:

That's a joke!
Park, Santos are not really recent.Quote:

So why would it have made any difference if it had been Draxler ie somebody else who also hasn't played for a while?Quote:

Wonderful.
So who's the cover for the cover?
Zealem? Eisfield? I do rate them both, more them Kallstrom in fact so it may not be all that bad news.
And I understand you're upset, but making things up doesn't help.Quote:

And you do know they're on their winter break since December in Russia too?

Fair enough, but overall, we're a top striker away from winning the league. We needed a striker last summer, and it was a top priority of ours, and we still haven't gotten one. What's the point if the whole team is consistent, but up front we've ended up with Bentdner/Sanogo.Quote:

This serves Wenger right for signing a player who's 31 and hasn't played in 3 months.
Wenger :lol:
That's all you can do really, so pathetic it's funny :lol:Quote:

There is no defending this at all, on any level.
The Calvary has gone down....abandon ship Cap'n!..... You could not make it up.
It's so incredible I actually just laughed. Heard it from a Manure supporting friend who I instantly assumed was on a wind up. I confess that I hadn't realised Kallstrom was as old as he was but he has been a reasonable pro over his career and I was happy enough to have him. That's not to say I was at all satisfied with the lack of other dealings though and this becomes rather like a tour/extended break for Kallstrom. He must love us....
I have mostly be ruing the failure of last summer this season than anything else but that becomes a broken record and I have long since bored myself with it.

Clarification - Kallstrom out for at least 6 games with back injury found in medical before signing. Not done in training #afc #bbcfootball
Good cover then.
So we took him on loan, injured, as cover, knowing he would miss six games.Quote:

Is this a fcuking joke? Out for six weeks? Missing the season defining parts of our season? Will need more time to get up to speed and fitness after recovering so you can add another 4 weeks to that.
I have a lot more patience that a lot but can anyone make sense of this signing unless he's Wenger a illegitimate child?
"New Arsenal signing Kim Kallstom is set for a spell on the sidelines with a back injury that was discovered in the medical beforre 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."
:shrug:
I don't care that much tbh.
He wasn't likely to play many games anyway.
It's even worse now :lol:Quote:

Lol @ Bumble.
Oh dear lord... cant wait to see Ollie and Jonas defend Wenger on this crap! :lol:
This is a loan right?
Just send him back.
