Never heard of him

I know it doesn't mean every player that goes from the Russian league to the premier league will be a failure but other than Willian (and I think he's only been good recently) I can't think of any successes

Pav

Average at best. Nice enough bloke though.

Pav was good so maybe the only one as Shaktar is in Ukraine.

 

[Davo99]

Ivanovic.

Sounds like just what we need and also gettable in jan.

Chelsea signed Willian from Anzhi. Pav was ok, not particularly good or bad. We all loved him as he was a fan's favourite but in terms of pure ability I'm not sure he was "good"

It was a long time ago but Kanchelskis was excellent for United.

[newbie]

I didn't.

I wanted to like pav but he pissed me off by loosing the ball under no pressure all the time.

 

[Strikeb4ck]

I just don't think there's many players that have gone from the Russian Prem to the British Prem, so it's a very small sample size.

 

[y1dk1d]

Some good names raised although as @Strikeb4ck has said, there aren't too many players that have made the move. Either way I've never heard of this player but looking at his age and price it seems unlikely we'll be making a move for him

His two goals against Twente in the Champions League are one of my fondest Spurs supporting memories, quite an atmosphere at the lane that night!

Yeah he did score important goals. On the whole though he didn't deliver the goods for the £14m price tag, which was a lot when we signed him
