So despite Arsene Wenger’s medical team telling him that Kim Kallstrom had a back injury which, reportedly, will see the Swede sidelined for up to 2-3 months (six games), the Frenchman still decided to go through with the deal and sign the 31-year-old – what’s the point?
Arsenal fans were left deflated when the club failed to land highly-rated German youngster Julian Draxler or indeed another striker to bolster their attacking options and instead saw the experienced Kallstrom join on loan for the remainder of the season from Spartak Moscow.
It was an anti-climax to say the very least on deadline day as many expected to see the club strengthen the areas which needed to be addressed.
But the question the Arsenal fans want answering is why did Wenger sign Kallstrom knowing the midfielder is set to be out for so long? It certainly is a strange one and only the Frenchman has the answer to this question, because I’m still trying to understand it.
If reports are to be believed and Kallstrom is out for as long as he is then I doubt he will get a game, as Mathieu Flamini and Aaron Ramsey, who is out for around five weeks, will both be back before Kim is. Basically we haven’t added to our squad this January and that’s what’s disappointing about this.
I can only describe this Kallstrom signing as absolutely pointless and possibly the worst acquisition Wenger has made in his nearly 18 year tenure at Arsenal.
I find it hard to believe Arsene bought him injured. The reason for the bid was to cover Ramsey. So to buy him when he is injured for the same time scale as we needed cover is gross incompetence. Something I think wenger is beyond. Despite the ongoing narrative to contrary.
It just shows the depth that we have sunk to in our transfer dealings. Arsene must be the worlds worst ditherer when it comes to spending Arsenals money. The latest escapade just makes us a laughing stock and if he signs a new contract we will have a further 3 years to put up with this. Heaven help us
This incident doesn’t surprise me. Blame Wenger.His scrooge ways are going to cost the gunners dearly unless he can conjure some fit player or reshuffle his pack.
Wenger misplaces priority.He thinks he knows it all.I think d baord should influence his recruitmrnts.
I must say this,is not realy funy, wenger is up to something else! maybe his mind is to finish arsenal i pray God help us,wenger u no d try o…………gunner fans make una help us beg o…wenger waitin we do u na……..
I think all the talk that we should trust in Wenger is putting our trust in a man who has won what for these many years, he had a great bteam ready made when he arrived, but put our trust in him going on the way he is? This recent trnasfer window should make us all wonder..what will he say about it…if anything.
Gunners fans abeg if na juju den juju wenger abeg mo pray o….hw we want cop wit d league nw?
Some of you guys are so easy to be brainwashed or fooled. Does anyone believe Wenger will buy Kim if he truly knows he was injured? It’s a bit sad how low some so called Arsenal supporters can go
Sad state of affairs,
Absolutely pity full.
No excuses for this bulls up.
Arsenen gets a kick back from the board when he doesn’t spend he is anti arsenal perioud
