Yuri Zhirkov

It's Daily Mail ppl. When same news appear on SSN or BBC website I will believe, rignt now it's just paper talk.

Could it be due to his inability to communicate? Is he able to speak English now?

I think he took part in one of the press conferences ahead of the Spartak games and his English was actually decent. It looks mostly football related to me.

I agree with you Kostas. I've never voiced that, but I absolutely notice that. He seems to lack the ability to function in this side - though in fairness, it has been very difficult for him due to consistent injury. That being said, he impressed me between February and April last year.

Hopefully he gets a chance..very underated & skillful player!!

Seems to be a confidence type player and being in and out of the side does not help. At least give him the same chances as Malouda

Should we let him go, or let him try to fight his way back to the main team?.

[zagger 47]

I think he should stay. He is a good substitute, he can replace Malouda and Ash. IMHO he is better thank Malouda, I hope he'll stay.

Don't worry, mods would merge them anyway

Hope it is just paper talk, because at the moment Zhirkov should be on for Malouda, and Malouda on the bench.

Yea, I think he is better than Flo, too. But he's recovering from injury so he can not play whole match...

But I like Yuri, he can replace Ash and Flo.

Yeah true, hopefully he can be switching with Malouda in the Man United game.

He's a great player! I hope his russian buddy Roman won't let him leave this easy!
