Villarreal to buy Pavlyuchenko?

By: Nick | June 29th, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Roman PavlyuchenkoHello 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.
