One Russian short of a Cold War

0

Firstly, I'm more than happy with Pavlyuchenko for around £12m. He's more of an out and out striker than Arshavin and while he's not as technically gifted, for half Arshavin's fee it's got to be good business. After all, how different can they be, they are both Russian!

The deal hasn't been formally announced by us yet but it sounds like a goer. Click to continue reading...
