Press reporting Arsenal winger Charles Sagoe Jr is coming in on loan for the rest of the season. A counterpart for Ronald. He can play either flank apparently, same as Ronald.
This kid plays on the wing, just like Ronald. This has nothing to do with Oli Cooper. Bolasie has left, and Ginnelly is injured. Apart from Ronald and Ginnelly we don't have real wingers in the squad. Jamie Paterson can also play on the wing, but he is primarily an attacking midfielder.Are they going to play or sit on the bench and push the likes off Cooper into the stands.
Came on as sub and scored a goal - might have been his first game.Looks like Ogbeta has been loaned to Bolton
If they persist with Yates at #9 then it will take another 3 or 4 matches to demonstrate that's not fit for purpose. At that point, if not through cameos, Cullen can step in. I'd really like to see Myk in between two bona fide wingers. He scored a lovely #9's goal with his head in his one appearance.Pedersen can play CB though, and it's useful to have some versatility on the bench.
Myk should be given a chance. It would be a shame if he was only seen as a target man signed for Duff and therefore automatically surplus to requirements. Size is useful and he has a decent touch.
I think this is the end of Cullen as a starter. It shouldn't be the end, but he won't keep actual wingers out of the team in that position. I have a theory that Yates only played well against Leicester because he knows Blackburn were scouting him. If he goes, Cullen might yet get the chance he deserves.
