Arsenal are putting the finishing touches to their work permit application for Ryo Miyaichi.
The 18-year-old has sufficiently impressed Arsène Wenger during pre-season, in which he has featured in every game. Wenger has now given club officials the green light to try and secure Miyaichi’s stay in North London, as he prepares to make his Emirates bow at this weekends Emirates Cup.
Arsenal are hopeful of receiving a decision by the middle of August. Should the application be rejected, Feyenoord Technical Director Martin van Geel has told Voetbal International he intends to fly to London to try and re-sign Ryo on loan.
The Gunners have had mixed success with recent work permit bids, but it’s hoped Miyaichi has done enough, despite his lack of international appearances, to be granted permission to join the Arsenal first-team ahead of the new season.
Really hope he gets a work permit!!!!
Praying he gets this work permit!
How is a special talent visa determined? Is it just a group of fat old men watching YouTube videos of a player and seeing how many keepy uppys he can do?
Yes, it’s probably Sepp Blatter.
if he doesnt, it stinks to high hell.
We should only do this if he’s actually going to play and not rot on the bench or the reserves. If that’s the case then maybe another loan spell is wise for him.
is it not true that he can not play in the emirates cup, he would need the permit to play in it, first team friendlies played in england are deemed work, reserve friendlies are different as they are seen as training, that is why he could play in those last summer and why galindo can play in them now.
I am certainly looking forward to watching him take to the Ashburton Grove pitch for the first time. Might just liven up the crowd a little.
If he gets a permit then I reckon he could shine during the second half of the season.
Fingers crossed. Not the end of the world if he doesn’t get it though, plenty more gears to go up and learn.
Really hope he does because he’s such a talent.
Jamie what does this mean for Campbell’s pending signing and WP application then?
am kinda banking on him getting the permit. we’re looking pretty skinny out wide if he doesn’t
He can play whilst the application is pending. So he can play friendliest until it is either accepted or rejected. Feeling seems to be it will go through though touch wood. Look forward to seeing him asap.
Cardiff Fan In Peace,
This kid has fantastic potential, he reminds me of a young CR7. If he gets a work permit, I hope your gaffer can loan him to us. Watched every single Feyenoord match this season and he was mostly the standout player. He was electrifying but needs to bulk up.
On the release of JET, I have to say it was a great business. Having been to every single Cardiff match, I can say that JET was mostly average and lazy. Some times he would have a moment of genius but mostly he would sulk.
He lacks pace,work rate, crossing ability and has poor concentration.
JET would never have made it to Arsenal IMO, he heavily relied on his physicality which was not very effective in the Championship.
BTW Jamie, fantastic blog and I have been reading your ITV and Talksport pieces which are real informative. Keep up the excellent work.
Do we know what type of visa he’s applying for? I think the one he had rejected last season was a ‘Youth Mobility Scheme’ which lasts for 2 years.
” Mixed success with recent work permit bids” are you joking, they always get rejected ask Wellington, Botelho, Galindo, it’s always been the same with Arsenal even going back to Ronaldinhio and Christiano Ronaldo. We must have a team of apes submitting permit requests. Don’t see Man Ure, Chelski, Man Citeh going through this nonsense
Cristiano Ronaldo’s work permit?
Seriously? your that thick?
Cristiano Ronaldo is Portuguese, he wouldn’t have needed a work permit to sign for us.
Ronaldo needed a work permit. Wow, and there’s me thinking he was from europe!?
Maybe they rejected Cristiano Ronaldo’s application because he’s Portugese and thus has never required a Work Permit to play in England?
@Exo When did Cristina need a work permit? Ronaldinho, maybe.
I hope we can pull this off, though i’m not too hopeful, he hasn’t been called up for Japan at all, not even the jr national team in recent time (This year)
Doesnt matter if we dont get a work permit for him because he aint ready for the first team, i would Prefer him to go on loan to a less physical league.
I am a huge fan though.
@Exo: well, as they say “Shit” goes easy..
But to be frank even they have had this problem.. This is because of the incompetent English FA.. They give special talent visa and work permits.. No wonder its like this
Our success rate has fallen because we lied to the Home Office. Ordinary players like Song and Denilson whom we classified as special talent but have ended up as average at best.
HAHAHAHA…Right On!
Not this moron on comment again lol
idiot like you who talk knowing nothing make the rest of arsenal fan look bad
song has a french passport as he play for thr french youth team and denilson was cpt of the brazil youth national team.
special talent visas have nothing to do with talent but the country you play in,number of selection .so you could be a donkey at football and play for brazil and still get a special talent visas.
A special talent visa is not a piece of paper submitted to European Authorities it is a rolled up wad of notes to the person who signs them off at UEFA. This is why no-one else has any trouble, think about it if we just paid up we wouldn’t have to go through this palava. The reason its only one a year is so that its not suspicious.
Our success rate is flawed cos we are not United and do not bribe civil servants.
Yeah Eduardo makes a good point. I’m not sure it applies to all English friendlies but I’m sure players need to be registered for the Emirates Cup meaning Miyaichi wouldn’t get a chance to play. It’s a shame if he doesn’t come I’m sure he would thrive with the fans right behind him. Looking forward to seeing Afobe in an Arsenal shirt with the first team though, looks a talent.
Wilshere apart, has anyone had as much loan success as Ryo? “Like a new signing”.
Its off topic bt are the mata rumours true?? Been doing alot research and it seems deres no smoke without fire. And is any1 as worried as I am about our left back options?
The trouble is that there was a typo on Denilson’s application so it read Special Talent instead of “Special” Talent. Like the special class.
Just kidding, Denilson is actually extremely talented. Even now he is capable of incredibly tidy moves. He is just completely ineffective.
I like turtles.
So do I.
Why are you lying?
Off topic, but is there any news on Lansbury?
I really hope its BS about him leaving.
I’m praying we get this ninja a work permit. Can’t believe people are upset about losing some championship players like JET and Lansbury when we got a future world beater like this on our hands.
To be fair, the dutch league isn’t much better than the championship. Better attacking players, but not as tough to play in. I doubt ryo would have done so well on loan at norwich as lansbury did to be honest.
Ryo! Ryo! Ryo!
Really, really hope he can get a work permit. Love this kid.
its funny hes here 5 minutes and gets a magic carpet ride to the 1st team whereas guys who have busted a gut for 10 years get LESS 1st team chances than him !- Denlson Bendner and Walnutt get 5 years and do nothing combined wages 150k plus per/wk but thats ok. Lets fuck off good english talent bcos theyve got too much attitude. Viera Ian Wright never had any ?
Good luck Jay and Henri your class will get you back into the Prem.
you raise a very good and fair point, but Ryo is Miles better than most of the reserves, English or otherwise. He is one of the few who, no matter what team he’s playing for, he deserves a chance to fulfill his potential. Both him and Gabriel Obertan (if he can gain some common intelligence, smh), along with Wilshere, and McEachran are the only players i see around who i can say for sure, will be the superstars of the league in 10 years
The league, and Arsenal fans could do with a bit of spark tho, i hope he gets a permit.
wow, you are comparing Ryo, who is a winger, a position where arsenal is short with Lansbury, who is a cm a position where we have wilshere, ramsey, frimpong, nasri (assuming he stays), song, rosicky and dare i say coquelin, and where some arguably more talented crop is emerging like Aneke, Toral, Gnarby, ozzy .
Its more about their positions rather than there passports. Frimpong, wilshere, afobe and henderson are being given there chances its there for all to see.
Though i too want Lansbury in around this team, atleast he deserves a chance. But what if he refuses to be squad member, maybe we should blame wenger for this too
Would love to see Miyaichi, Ramsey, Afobe, Lansbury all do well in first team performances next season.
phil you are a moron mate, chatting shit.
You sound like a pathetic spud actually.
Fucking moaning like a bitch about nothing in particular.
Sad little dweeb
Yeah whatever, you better find your ways in getting his permit. This guy will do more than you are expecting, his a multi talented kid. Thank god it is we arsenal that found him not them rivals. We will be disappointed in you guys, for not getting his work permit. “Keep the faith”
Phil, who do you think had a better loan spell last year, Jet/Lansbury or Ryo? Some peoples comment lately have really made me laugh!
Don’t mind JeT going but Lansbury is a talent, he scored loads of last minute goals on loan (exactly what we need) even in the E U21 we were crap till pierce dragged hendersons scrawny little ass off and put LAnsbury on. Will be massively sad to see him go before he gets a crack at the first team.
Shyster/Borngunner- your both brainless headless sheep thrashing around bleating “in wenger we rust” after 6 years of no trophies – send Ryo to Cardiff and Norwich and see how he gets on. Hes had one loan both Jet and Lansbury have had 3 and should have been given a chances at least 12 months ago. When Wenger gets sacked please follow him the cliffs of Dover…. Spare me the spud jokes i go back to 1972 and the double when you werent even sperm in your dads nutsack.
ahah stop saying crap. championship better that first top league in dutch ?! Another one who overhype english football. I think you should stop talking. Arsene probably know better than you if a young player does it or not. He detected and built so many youngsters who became top class player, his way of scouting youngster is already proven. Moreover it’s so evident when you see ryo play. He has something that jet and lansbury don’t have.
Why cant everyone come on here and support our club? We have just over 2 weeks till the business really starts, we need fans, supporters, players, management and board all pulling together and getting behind the team. That means the players that we have left regardless of their DNA or salary aspirations. When it gets to August 13th we need to put all that aside, as fans or supporters of the club we need to get our act in order now, so that we can help to settle our squad in preperation for the big kick off. If some players are to leave even after August 13th but before September 1st so be it. We have 5 matches before the window closes and we must all help to get us 5 wins.
Come 1st September will it really matter who is playing for us? after all what is important is Arsenal Football Club not individuals.
hear hear hear
I think he deserves a chance based on the fact that he went to feyenoord who were struggling even to score let alone win a game and he helped revitalise their side,inspiring more experienced players and getting the fans back on side,that’s exactly the sort of player that deserves a chance and not certain others.I think we lacked a certain amount of direct players last year and he’d be a good alternative when we’re in desperate need of a player stretching a game and making space for others,something theo Walcott did very well at times last season,infact I think he takes WAY too much stick on here,the guys the future. Ps on another note we need to sell nasri regardless of whether wenger thinks he’s irreplaceable,he ain’t gonna sign a new contract and I’d much rather try and offload him abroad and get a bit of money back rather than wait till next year and see him hop over to man u/shitty or Chelsea for zilch,makes no sense!We could surely replace with a mata/Honda/krasic,apparently affelays available cheap from barca,ideal wenger signing surely?!
maybe if arsenal.com publishes more articles about how good ryo will be for us this year, the permit people will ignore the rules and do us a favour.
arsenal are counting chickens here.
Ryo can’t play in the Emirates Cup because it’s a professional tournament – there’s a healthy profit in the Cup like match day sales, tickets, television revenue.
woooo….good new!love to see him play & hope can get permit….
i pray it work out. Ryo is a good lad he can add some qualities to our in future. I like him
is a good lad he can some qualities to our team in future
We need a couple of Wilshire like stars who will Challenge the other players for spots, it may bring out the best in under performing players like Arshavin, hopefully
Denilson sent off in 2nd game for Sao Paulo:http://globoesporte.globo.com/jogo/brasileirao2011/27-07-2011/coritiba-sao-paulo.html
Really lame foul and then some mouth got him two yellows.
Also Juan, ex-Arsenal, got one of the goals in the game.
Please guys do whatever it takes to keep this boy in North London for the upcoming season. it will be a boost for the Gunners and can now start having wingers who are going to be nusense to the opposition full backs. I hope this work permit bid will be accepted coz I’m not thinking of it being rejected. I’m positive they will grant him.
Let’s all pray Gooners
@phil sir by your comment i’m made to understand that your quite older than me(i’m still studying btw)& i’m in my second season as an arsenal supporter.but your comparison of lanbury & jet vs ryo is absurd.everyone sees ryo as an elite players with skills to match cr7 when he was his age,,and yes i certainly agree with you that lansbury & even jet should have been provided the opportunity to prove their worth but at the same time you have to understand that certain players will not get the chance at afc most Cardiff supporters weren’t at all impressed with jet,i would be most disappointed if lansbury were to leave though but on the contrary please mention players who left arsenal & gone to become superstar,look no further than manu & u’ll find player like pique,forlan who had left manu & become top notch players..lets just hope that we can support arsenal as one,after allwe’ll be the ones reeping the reward or blaming the blunders of our afc
Who says lansbury is gettin sold, we’ve turned down a 2million bid from Norwich have we not?
Why is it taken as given that Wenger doesnt want him??
Also I remember a time when on all the blogs all the idiots wanted Arsene to signe wingers, we’ll Ryo is a winger, what of that???
I hear a lot of chatter about Arsens signing a cb but then in the same post you’ll hear why isnt Arsen giving our young english players a chance, namely Bartley – you cant have both.
I really wish people would use a bit logic before hammering away at their keyboard
Pingback: New Jagielka bid, Mata movement and a work permit for Miyaichi? « savagegooner
Well said feeno, people should remember the phrase “engage brain before opening mouth” or hitting the keys!
Whatever we read in blogs and newspapers is rumour and whilst usually a little truth also an awful lot of BS. The Sun says that Samba has asked to be let go to us and he’s made a statement today saying what they have reported is all lies. Also special talent visas are issued by the home office and not the FA or premier league. Yes both Song and Denilson got them because both were rated as special at the time. In fact Denilson started very well and faded in last couple of seasons. The opposite is true with Song, he had a couple of iffy seasons and has now turned out to be one of the best DMs in the league.
Keep the faith. . .
galindo is already full international and long injury layoff prevented him from gaining more caps and that could work in his favour.
maybe thats why he hasn’t been sent out on loan yet.
although he’s not ready for the first team, in fact it will be nice to see all players we signed traning here with us
yes but he play for only bolivia who are one of the worst if not the worst south america team ,big difference with the mighty football country of brazil
worth it for the shirt sales alone. gonna be one very popular kid.
feeno!
i am actually against most transfer rumours thats been running all summer.
first of all, djourou and koscielny didnt start last season as first choice. injury to vermaelen and squillaci’s failure caused them to step up and i believe they did well. now vermaelen is fit and if bartley is ready for first team i dont think wenger will spend on any defender.
second, i dont believe arsenal will spend a big fee for another homesick spanish. nice to hear from valencia today that we have not made any offer. good! we don’t need another seniorita crying to go back home. no thanx!
Who do we need then if we’re going to improve on our 4th place finish?
Does silva looks homesick to you? It all depends how the team is doing and they will want a move away if you are obvious world class but not winning anything. Mata is one of the best and will make our team much much stronger. I hope he comes to us along with a few others who is clearly world class.
Walcott is world class in 5-20 min at most… he is most of the time average. We need consistency through out the game and Mata is that guy who can do so. We really need consistency and world class players or very close to it. I saw Kagawa from Dortmund and he looks class. Looks a little bit like Rosicky but a lot younger. If we can’t get Goetse then go for Kagawa.
Who do we need then Sam? If we’re going to improve on our 4th place finish
To be honest it doesnt matter when he joins he is going to get used to the rigors of the Premier League….we can send him on loan to La Liga but he is going to have to adjust to the premier league, he seems to have something about him though and whats to say Wenger wont loan him to Premier League Club for 6 months as it did Wilshere the World of good plus whats to say he wont make an impact…….look at Hernandez at Utd and how well he has done
reyes left us when we’re winning. silva just arrived and still you cannot use a man city player as an example coz they have more homesick latin players than anyone ie, teves, balotelli.
there is no doubt mata is a great talent but before you do any business you have to conduct a risk assessment and you will find that spanish players dont settle abroad for too long. or maybe the board is taking out insurance to cover the loss if he decided to leave us, i dont know.
my point is, this is not the time of taking such risk. we can spend money on lukas podoski. not as skilfull but very consistent and experience, and can play anywhere in attack.
like i said, i wouldnt bother if mata doesnt sign for us.
City are still unproven in europe. Sure they took a 3rd place this season but its only now we are seeing what they can do. Lets see whats gonna happen for the rest of the season.
Then lets see how long Mata will stay and do for us before saying he will only want a move away. I’m sure he’s gonna make us win some games and maybe some trophies. if he then wants a move away we can surely ask for a price worth more than what we buy him for. Is is better to keep players that is not good enough but wants to stay? Like Arshavin. His best years are gone already. Of course some players want to go away after a while but that doesn’t mean they wont make our team stronger for a couple of years. Podolski is a good option but he maybe he doesn’t want to come? Maybe he is more homesick than you think he is cus he stayed in Bundesliga and Germany, while he was chased by some big clubs? Maybe even Arsenal?
re: Podolski: it might be even worse, since he came back to Koln (bottom half of the table, but hometown club) after some years at Bayern.
a bit off topic but its time these players admit they have good at arsenal.
now they cannot agree deals with their new clubs because their salaries are too high. bendtner and eboue need to accept whatever their new clubs are offering and f**k off!
cesc will be smart to stay as arsenal is prepared to give him a payrise. while barca can’t afford his fee first of all and he has to take a paycut. this shows all this will end in tears.
plus, in england football fans are patient with players. while in europe 2 bad games you are off to the B team. he had a bad season, we are ready to forgive him but in spain it wont be the case.
surely he should know by now that if barca really want him they will pay anything we are asking for.
robin!
are you still falling for that media hype that we are dropping off top 4?
liverpool will win the league then.
just getting rid of the deadwoods alone will make us stronger than last season, even better if we add few signings.
the anti-arsenal media wish to see arsene’s team falls apart thats why they fill us with negative and fabricated news everyday. yet cesc and nasri are still here and we didn’t buy any of the overhyped overrated players they’ve been talking about all summer.
as for juan mata, i am not against him coming to arsenal i am just highlighting the risk of paying big fee for a spanish player thats all.
please relax! we are not dropping out of top 4
with that kind of attitude we will drop of the top 4. One day it might happen and if nothing happens for us in the transfer market we will drop. We obviously lack really world class players. We have some but needs a few more. City and tottenham are quite a team to take the 4th place. I believe pool to have become a much stronger team than last season, city too. Which make it 5 teams for 4 places and if you don’t recognise this we will drop cus we are not stronger than last year if we don’t buy players. So far Gervinho has come and Vermaelen is back but don expect it will be an easy task. Then you have to ask yourself what we need to do to win the league and not only secure a 4th place. It’s very obvious that new signings must come in. I bet it will come 3-4 more players.
Haha no I’m not still falling for the media hype that we’re going to drop out the top 4, I didn’t say that did I. I want us to win the league surprisingly enough and was asking your opinion on who you think we should sign to improve on 4th place.
No trophies in 6 years speaks for itself, if your ambition is for us to finish 4th every season then your argument is jusitfied, but if not how would merely cutting the deadwood improve the team? Ambition in the transfer market needs to match the ambition of our best players otherwise they will become disillusioned and want to leave. You say Fabregas/Nasri are still here but surely you don’t believe they actually want to stay. Their silence speaks volumes
obviously arsenal is still a force thats why we make more headlines even than the current champion. arsene still wants to win things but sometimes stubborness stands in his way. last season’s experience really humbled him that he decided to change things.
he’s fighting to keep our best players, getting rid of bad players then adding players with quality which means he wants to win the league.
we could have dropped out of top 4 if we hd gone for parker,barton,downing, kevin doyle and surely nasri and cesc would have left us already. they are still here because arsene convinced them he’s replacing deadwoods with diamonds.
btw!
joel campbell has already signed for arsenal
http://www.arsenalnews.co.uk/official-arsenal-sign-joel-campbell-mata-deal-agreed-jagielka-to-follow/link/84144/
Nice find Sam..
Any Hispanic fans wanna translate it??
Yeah the article says ‘Arsenal will sign Joel Campbell as long as they stump up the final £29.99 but if man city enquire before he touches down in London then the contracts null and void as they’re his childhood club that he’s supported since his dad took him to Maine road to watch them in the old 2nd division’ also it states that Valencia are willing to do a deal as long as arsene stops turning up at their door asking if he can pay for him by debit card and get cash back as well. Hope that helps in some way,my Spanish is a bit rusty
Sam, with all due respect, you refer to media hype then post that we have signed Campbell. We have not, his agent has just denied it. We have also not made another bid for Jags it’s just the press speculating that we we might and the rumours about Mata are just that, rumours. There has been no contact with Valencia. And, off topic the news that Bendtner is in Portugal to sign for Sporting has been catagorically denied as rubbish by the Sporting president.
Don’t believe anything until it’s anounced by the real Arsenal site.
well you can see for yourself that the boy agreed to join arsenal, now the agent is playing tricks before papers are signed.
i dont care about bendtner and all other deadwoods that cost us last season. time they come to their senses and drop their big wages, i am sure sporting wont be able to pay half his current salaries
Looks like diabys out for another 10 weeks,he’ll never win the ballon d’or at this rate…we’ve gone from buying no one to on the verge of signing one of spains brightest prospects juan mata,a real defender in phil jagielka and not a wenger “he passes the ball so well and has great technique for a centre back” plus of course a couple more young signings as well as saying everyone else stays,all this just before our emirates cup tournament that hasn’t anywhere near sold out..all a ploy to sell tickets?Media hype started from an ‘arsenal insider’?I suspect these deals might ‘fall through’ come Monday and we’ll re sign sol Campbell and alex hleb..then it leaves wenger room to say “I planned to sign Gary cahill on a free in 2012 when his contract ends”
