Blind faith in "LVG filoshophy"
My mistake (or the initial report's mistake): it's a 1 year loan.
...I haven't given up on playing for Arsenal, but my 1st aim is to play in a full team (the one playing in the league)
Source: De Gelderlander (local regional Dutch newspaper)I'm greatful for Heracles Almelo wanting to sign me too, but when Vitesse Arnhem came I immediately knew what I wanted. I'm born in Arnhem, grew up nearby, and I had my 1st season ticket when Vitesse opened their new stadium.
So the extent of his injury was greatly exaggerated. If nothing else this signing should be good from a shirt-selling point of view. Although it does seem Wenger was genuinely eager to get him to the club. Sounds like an exciting prospect, shall watch his development with interest.Wenger's wise words sealed deal
Arsène Wenger’s wise words and his huge desire to complete the deal was the key factors in Ryo Miyaichi agreeing a switch to Arsenal over Ajax, the Japan Under 17 international has revealed.
Miyaichi will sign a five year development contract with the Gunners in December when his scholarship with Chukyo University expires. Ryo is expected in London at the end of the month for further checks on his cracked fibula, sustained during a trial game with Ajax against SVV Scheveningen. The injury initially ended the interest of both club’s but further scans revealed the fibula isn’t as badly damaged as initially thought and the prospect is looking at weeks rather than months out.
Ryo had earlier impressed when he featured in two of Arsenal’s second-string matches during pre-season, playing 60 and 45 minutes against Boreham Wood and AFC Wimbledon. The tricky left winger did enough in those matches to impress, and speaking to press back home in Japan, the youngster revealed a conversation he had with Wenger when the contract was offered;
“Mr Wenger told me that Arsenal is my home and I that should learn some English and come back soon”
“It was difficult to choose between Arsenal and Ajax, but Arsenal wanted me the most”
Miyaichi is a 180cm winger who can play on either flank. Predominantly right footed, the youngster is just at home on his left foot and brings speed, an awesome dribbling ability and a real eye for goal. He’s expected in England at the end of September.
M+D said:As ever Arsenal Youth spot on (bar Aneke's position I reckon) So the team is:
------------------------- Fabianski -----------------------
Yennaris --- Djourou ----- Squillaci ------ Miquel
-------------- Denilson ---- Eastmond ----------------
---------------------- Aneke -------------------------
Randall -------------- Afobe --------------- JET
And Benjani, David Dunn, Roberts and N'Zonzi all start for Blackburn too.
CHANCE FOR ARSENAL. Randall played Eastmond in down the left, who then found Aneke. The striker had time, but placed his shot straight at goalkeeper Kean
