Up the Arse! Goons Thread

David Ornstein, BBC Sport

"New Arsenal signing Kim Kallstom is set for a spell on the sidelines with a back injury that was discovered in the medical before 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.

"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.

"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.



Apart from the irony of signing a player with a significant injury to cover players with injuries, it screams that we have once again left it too late in the window to manoeuvre for anyone else when plans hit a snag.

So we've signed an injured player? Wtf?

 

[glenferry23]

I read it's just a slight back strain and he won't be out long. Sounds suspicious though.

The same was said about our other new signing last August, Yaya Sanogo. Slight back problem.

He hasn't played in 6 months since.

 

[Benno_900]

Farce. I'd be interested to hear the logic on this.

Maybe we needed a guinea pig for our incompetent medical staff to practice on? Career over for Kim in that case.

Cannot fathom why we'd sign an injured player wanting him to be a replacement for the tough upcoming fixtures.

 

[glenferry23]

It seems he was signed directly as a result of the injuries to Wilshere and Ramsey, and 4 game suspension of Flamini.

But he himself was injured last Tuesday, with a back injury to keep him out for 6 weeks. Its simply mind boggling.

Isn't the story that he aggravated the injury yesterday?

 

[Latro]

He has not trained with Arsenal at all that was a story put out by Arsenals Communication Manager.

 

[glenferry23]

No, it apparently happened during training in Russia.

Isn't this what medicals are for before we sign someone?

 

[Latro]

The medical staff told Wenger of the injury but he went ahead and signed him anyway.

Where have you heard this from Latro? Its simply baffling to comprehend, but given we keep renewing Diaby's contract at ridiculous wages, I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is true.

I read it somewhere as well, I'll try dig up the link, but he was injured before he was signed.

Not good reading at all. This really is a bizarre situation.

Bayern will probably purchase Draxler in the summer.

 

[Latro]

The only hope Arsenal have of getting Draxler is if Schalke don't want to sell to there rival. But they did sell Neuer to them.

Have no idea how reliable the clowns tweeting are.

And A club blocking the sale of one of their players? gees.....

 

[glenferry23]

F*ck I hope we destroy those Bayern campaigners next month.

 

[Cruyff14]

(I know it's the Fail, but I just thought it was funny )

 

[glenferry23]

hahahahaha keep dreaming Glen!

I know, its a long shot. Hopefully Kallstrom is fit in time to win it for us at the Allianz.

And van Persie can heck off. The little boy in him wanted United.

 

[Shoei]

He can grovel back to us.

Actually wouldn't be a bad option off the bench
