Didn't he say they had from 5pm to make the decision? Supposedly they got the word 2 days previously. Unless he's saying he pulled Kallstrom's name out of his arse at the last minute. Surely we did at least some cursory groundwork on this deal?Wenger's saying he only knew at 5pm on Friday.

Still not a good enough explanation, and doesn't explain why we were hunting around in the last few hours to sign an injured player we really didn't need, when we had the whole of January to get our shit in order.
As it stands, signing Kallstrom is the equivalent of using a chocolate teapot.
There is no excuse for this at all.
Add to that the fact that Kallstrom has hardly been a prolific player in the last.......er.......fuck knows!?!
Its utter madness.

even after Arsene's explanation of signing him knowing about the injury, it makes sense to me. not a player i would have myself signed but its clear he has been signed as cover for the title run in. makes sense. It did make me laugh though seeing people moan about signing a 31 one year old on twitter then the next tweet saying they can't wait to see Rosicky back on saturday who is 33Ollie!
You do make me laugh sometimes.

Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Yep, same people who said we should sign 31-year old Berbatov and his amazing 18/4 game/goal ratio :D I seriously think some people in here, only know Arsenal through football manager or smth, because they have absolut no form of realistic vision on arsenal or football in general. The logic is non-existent :Deven after Arsene's explanation of signing him knowing about the injury, it makes sense to me. not a player i would have myself signed but its clear he has been signed as cover for the title run in. makes sense.

Need a striker? So, buy a midfielder who is injured and has 3 goals in 30 appearance for a team playing in Russia. Logical much? Of course..
Intelligence is just becoming a very rare commodity these days. For some, AW could kill a kitten and do a mass massacre, he just cannot be wrong!

End of January, have 2 of your 3 injuried midfielders, who was suppossed to come back, have setbacks in their recovery and are out for longer time, a 3rd one get 3 match suspension suddenly and last one just comming back from injury, going into a tough run? Check. But ofc we should get a striker instead! Fakeyank you're the football god, why do we have Wenger, when they could hire you? :D

Any quality strikers available in January transfer window? Nope. Hell even the silly money clubs couldnt get a striker, even tho' they wanted to. But hey, i guess its fun sitting on goonersweb saying "LOOOOL WENGER OUT, IN FOOTBALL MANAGER I JUST BOUGHT LIKE 5 STRIKERS NO PROBLEM".
But if you're such a football oracle, please tell me who we should have went out and signed instead?
Or he could be top of the league, manager of the only team seriously competing with City and the Chavs and do no right.

If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Here is our midfield options- Arteta, Flamini, Rosicky, Ozil, Wilshere, Santi, Ramsey and if needed, we could use Ox, Zelalem and Frimpong. Ramsey out of that lot is out for the season.. that leaves us 6 players to play in 3 positions. Why on earth do we need another player? Let's say we do, why do we need a player who is for sure out for 6 weeks and doesnt help us in ANY way?End of January, have 2 of your 3 injuried midfielders, who was suppossed to come back, have setbacks in their recovery and are out for longer time, a 3rd one get 3 match suspension suddenly and last one just comming back from injury, going into a tough run?

As for strikers... didnt Fulham sign a striker? Didnt 'money bags' Monaco get Berbatov? We needed a striker the most.. I am sure thats not debated. If Giroud is out, the back up names are atrocious! Heck, even bringing back Chamakh made more sense than getting a midfielder who has never played in england and most importantly, someone who IS injured! Might as well not have signed anyone than to wind up the fans! Kallstrom is on the level of Bischoff in terms of absolute garbage value signing.
And since you asked, who we couldve signed as striker for the short term- fulhams striker, berbatov, michu, eduardo, Vucinic or just ANY FIT striker. Sure, the names are not world class out there but they definitely make more sense than Kallstrom, an injured midfielder in his thirties playing in the Russian league. Agree?
