Ahh... Dont make him worse than he is, he's been playing champions league football for the last 7 years, before this season and always been an important part of the teams he's been playing for, its only this season thats he's not been a 100% starter, he's got 100+ games for sweden and can play both roles on the midfield in our team. This is good business, we dont need a new starter just a decent back-up/rotation for the next 6 months and in Kallstrom we wont find any better.

It really isn't. We've lost two of top goal scorers, we're short on defensive cover and very short on striking options but we buy another central midfield player because we've picked up a few more knocks and suspensions?

1) We need a striker badly
2) We don't need 2nd rate has been's or cheap nobodies

If anything is going to change we have to stop signing these rubbish stop gap's who fill up the squad and can't be got rid of. I hope Wenger doesn't sign a new contract if this is his idea of improving the team/squad.

Kallstrom?

Weren't there any Stoke or Watford targets we could have gazumped? We have to go even lower and buy this shit? Welcome to Arsenal, now get the fuck out of here.

Seriously though, it's not the player's fault Wenger is like this. Sad that the fans will welcome him with folded arms but this is like icing the Ozil cake with horse manure and asking people to like it.

Wenger! We thought you had changed FFS!

Wenger seems to not mind the club increasing his pay on his next contract though.

Stop being a stingy penny pincher ffs

So because we've been unlucky with injuries, you want us to bring in new starters? What when Walcott and Ramsey is back, then what? sell the 20-30m signings we just brought in 6 months earlier? We already got plenty of covers on the wings, so makes no sense bringing in a new winger. We have Wilshere to cover #8 and Flamini/Arteta for #6, but with Flamini's suspension and Wilshere unsure for next match, it makes sense bringing in a guy who can cover both positions for the next 6 months. We got Vermelean to cover defence, you wont find a better back-up than that.

Stop thinking this is football manager and start thinking realistic.

And the Puma announcement was a bit of a tease.

Realistic is not bringing in stop gap journeymen that will sit on the books once the first team is alive again. Realistic is bringing in some competition for the first team so the whole team improves in general. We had no problem getting Ozil on the pitch even though we were overloaded with midfielders. Anyway, all our players are always injured so we need to buy twenty midfielders in this window, and thirty strikers.

What happened with Matuidi? Too expensive?
