Villarreal to buy Pavlyuchenko?

By: Nick | June 29th, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Hello to all Russia fans. Nick here. I have just been browsing around the transfer news and stumbled upon rumors that according to The Guardian, Villarreal were looking to buy Pavlyuchenko as a replacement to Nihat Kahveci.

I think this would be a great move for Pavlychenko because he can create a great striking partnership with Jozy Alitidore or Giusseppe Rossi. Given Altidore’s and Rossi’s young age this would be a chance for Pavlyuchenko to be a first choice striker, somthing denied to him by Robbie Keane, Jermain Defoe, and Darren Bent.

I also wanted to mention that Besiktas are also interested in Pavlyuchenko. This could also be a beneficial move for him because he could be a good partner to Nihat Kahveci.

unsatisfying victory for Russia over Liechtenstein

By: j | April 1st, 2009 | No Comments »

Prior to Russia’s match against Liechtenstein, Yuri Zhirkov noted that he would be satisfied with a 1-0 victory. While the CSKA Moskva star got precisely what he wanted with the scoreline surely this will be regarded as extremely disappointing result by Russia. Coupled with the highly modest performance against Azerbaijan at Luzhniki Stadium the question needs to be asked if ... [read]

In a far from convincing style, Russia squeezed past Azerbaijan 2-0 in Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium. While the victory provides the heralded Russian side important points in their World Cup quest, it surely must raise into question the impact of Guus Hiddink’s double duties with Chelsea.
