With a name that makes us all thank the stars for 'copy and paste', Pavel Pogrebnyak looks set
to move to west London in one of the biggest deals so far in this rather moribund transfer
window.
The Russian international striker has never been the most prolific of strikers, however, the
imposing forward is best utilised as a targetman who can hold up the ball, and he'll no doubt be
confident of making a (hard-to-spell) name for himself at Craven Cottage.
Six matches into the season, and the discussion about where things stand from a Liverpool
perspective, both individually and collectively, is well underway. Noel's given us a couple of
great pieces already, first looking at Andy Carroll on Monday and Charlie Adam today. While both
have a titular (not like that, pervs) focus on specific individuals, both have also created
excellent conversation about these individuals' impact on the team as a whole, which, given the
changes in the side, is an interesting and, in some cases, divisive topic.
The Russian Premier League title race became more interesting this weekend following two major
games involving four of the top six teams. In a capital derby Dinamo Moscow shocked their hosts
CSKA Moscow by hitting four goals without reply whilst defending champions Zenit Saint Petersburg
also had four put past them in a 4-2 defeat at Lokomotiv Moscow.

It is safe to say that Liverpool have not been the most adept in the Bosman free transfer market
over the last few years. With limited money to spend under former owners Tom Hicks and George
Gillett, the Reds have delved into the free transfer market and come up with some real stinkers.
The Ukrainian striker Andriy Voronin came from Bayer Leverkusen in 2007, and he was followed to
Anfield by Standard Liege's Milan Jovanovic and Chelsea's Joe Cole last summer.
