Roman Pavlyuchenko

[chrismada9 1,948]

Not linked with Chelsea but I would like to see this guy wearing a Chelsea shirt. He's scored some fantastic goals for a very impressive Russia side at Euro 2008. Sell off Pizarro and bring in this guy. A good £15m or up deal to Spartak Moscow, and a 4-year-contract subject to a work permit will do the trick. Our new number 9 before the new season starts. Any thoughts??

Bearing in mind also, Abramovich would welcome players from his native county with open arms so it could be a way in if we do decide make an approach.

To summerise.... Pavluchenko is an awesome player and I'd love him at Stamford Bridge!!

PS: Villa wants to stay at Valencia!

Yea would back ya up there CJ!

Been very impressed with him in these Euros!

His been good so far, but that doesn't mean he'll be good for us. *cough* Baros *cough* Mind you he'll be a million times better than Pizzaro.

I'd prefer Arshavin though, he seems a good player.

[CFC-Lloydy 38]

Yea there is that, but I would still love Villa!! And yea Arshavin looks quality!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Both him and Arshavin would be brilliant.

Lol firstly we don't need another Pizarro. This guy was even dropped to Spartak reserves in some moment.

And secondly I don't want a Russian in our team.

[Kez 2,727]

Whats wrong with having a Russian in our team?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

We have a Russian owner, and we had Alexey Smertin for a while as well.

[riks12 3]

Whats wrong with having a Russian in our team?

Cause I hate Russians.

And there's a good reason for that..

I think we should leave it at that

I am personally NOT a fan of this buying a player based on his performances in 4 matches in a tournament. Hence my answer is, NO...I would go for a striker who has proved his worth over the whole season.

[KENT_BLUE 1]

like most of you have wrote i would preferd ashavin hes unreal,he will be better than lamps me thinks

Very wary of signing players on the basis of a good international tournament. It doesn't always mean too much as we have seen over the years. Some of the best players in the world do not perform and some of the more average players play fantastic.

I just looked on Wiki at their ages. Pavluchenko is 26 and Arshavin is 27 - not sure about you but I don't think they'll improve much from now. They are probably in their prime thriving off Hiddinks great management.

[kbchel 2]

one of the most wasteful striker ive seen....

against greece he got just so many open chances

he can score 5 goals and make a name but he put every ball wide

Roman is not a very quality striker, I think. He is good for the russian championship, but Pogrebnyak is better. You could see him in the UEFA Cup this year, when he scored two goals to Bayern on Petrovskiy stadium. He is not playing on the Euro because on injury.

Arshavin is 27 year old, you are right, and he was a leading star for Zenit for many years, but now he won all the trophies in Russia and wants a new challenge. To be hornest, his favourite club is Barca, and if they decide to buy him his dreams will come truth. And all of this years he was one of the best players in russian championship and best russian player.

Arshavin please!!!

[manpe 10,861]

Arshavin would suck for us. No need for a bench player..
