Make the most of Miyaichi

So... this Miyaichi chappie, do we think he's going to take the corners from now on (as we managed to score from one of his). Can he swing them in from either side to equally good effect?

Or, if we're doing stuff they actually say, that hasn't come from French classes spent looking up rude words in the dictionary, Bruce, I'm looking at you, 'casse-toi'.

Merde!

Coyle orders Miyaichi to take a welcome break

OWEN Coyle is working hard to protect key weapon Ryo Miyaichi for the Easter weekend’s double header.

Wanderers are wrapping the on-loan Arsenal winger in cotton wool after the manager admitted he was showing signs of fatigue in the 3-2 victory over Wolves.

The Whites face Fulham at home and Newcastle United away within three days as they look to continue their push away from the relegation zone.

Miyaichi has started each of the last seven games in league and cup, and, knowing the 19-year-old’s fine form has been a key factor in the three-game winning streak, Coyle is wary of heaping too much of a workload on to his young shoulders in the build-up.

“For Ryo’s part, there has been an awful lot asked of the kid, with the amount of games he’s had. I thought he was feeling it a little bit in his legs at the end of the (Wolves) game,” he said.

“We will need to get him rested up as best as we can to make sure he’s ready to play a part this weekend.”

Coyle praised the somewhat surprising impact Miyaichi has had since arriving at the club in January with only 36 minutes of experience in English football under his belt.

“I look at Ryo and young Mark Davies, and when they come bursting into the game, as a football lover that’s exactly what I want to see,” he said. “I’d pay money to go and see that type of player.

“They glide by tackles and get themselves into the box, try to get a shot away, draw challenges. It’s exciting to see.

“What is important is that my younger players are getting better.”

Coyle assessed some of his options in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Tranmere Rovers yesterday morning, including giving a run-out for Gregg Wylde, whose clearance from FIFA has yet to come through.

The former Rangers midfielder is waiting on an official nod from Switzerland to enable him to restart his career, after leaving Ibrox by mutual consent last month and signing for Wanderers on a free transfer.

Paperwork-pending, Wylde could be an option against Fulham if Coyle decides to rest Miyaichi, and Tyrone Mears also made a push for a first team place by coming through the game unscathed.

Miyaichi’s progress has not gone un-noticed at his parent club, either, where Theo Walcott has tipped his fellow wide man to return a better player from his spell at the Reebok.

“Ryo has done very well at Bolton,” said the England international.

“It is hard for such a young kid to go there and do what he is doing, showing no fear with everything that happened at Tottenham [with Fabrice Muamba]. It is hard and it has probably hit him hard.

“He will be a better person for it, a better player and I can see him coming back here next year and playing a lot more regularly.

“The way he is playing, there are full backs out there now who are thinking, 'I don't want to play against him this week’.”

Behind the doors friendly vs. Tranmere Rovers. Did we win? (not like it matters)

Miyaichi has been brilliant there is no denying that but would he get in the team next year with Chung Yong Lee back? Could you have a read of this and let me know what you think http://wp.me/p25EUA-5D" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Chungy plays the right side and Ryo prefers the left. However, he won't be here next year any more than our previous young loans were.

Not quite as sure on that. He's not as near ready as Wilsh and Sturridge were, especially with Arsenal having bought Oxlade Chamberlain. It wouldn't astonish me to see Ryo return.

Agree. I think we will have him back till Christmas. Chungy and Ryo? Could be tasty.

Hope you are correct, DSB. However, we will have a crowded midfield if everyone is back.

We'll still try to pick only 4 of them at once though.

Well, I was hoping for five with a loan striker.

It's sort of interesting on that front Monty. We had Elmander and Davo (pretty much the last few seasons partnership up top), with Klasnic on loan when OC joined.

Since then, we signed Klasnic full-time, but I think he's in the last year of his Contract, and added David N'gog @ £4.5m and Sordell @ £4m (reported), whilst getting shut of Elmander and Davo has been predominantly benched.

I think we are probably putting a lot of faith in Sordell next season...

But I think we need another striker too, like you suggest, as I'm not sure what the plans for either Davo or Klasnic are likely to be next year - I'd be surprised if Klasnic was still with us. Preferably we could use one that can score some goals, rather than our usual collection that we spend lots of time extolling the virtues of everything else they add (other than the ability to do what strikers are for - put the fecking ball in the onoin bag). As part time as Klasnic has been, we will need to replace his goals from somewhere.

[Ianmooreslovechild]

We could put that prolific striker on the bench next to our ball playing creative central midfielder that we've been tracking over the last decade.
On current form Klasnic and KD on the bench is probably as good as anything we can hope for. Linked with Jerome again today but I'm hoping that's nonsense. He's like a less mobile equally prolific Ngog with none of the effort that makes Ngog acceptable.
If we sign a goalscorer it will be an unproven safish gamble from lower leagues or an unfashionable european club,maybe even USA. Mind you there are players out there as Fulham and Newcastle have shown.
