Boris Ignatyev has expressed his views on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diniyar-Bilyaletdinov-c11318 and Roman Pavlyuchenko’s return and revealed the possible reasons behind Andrei Arshavin's stay.
The fact that Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749.
Though neither club have disclosed the fees involved, the two players have reportedly been bought on cut-price deals.
Bilyaletdinov, who joined Everton from Lokomotiv Moscow for a reported 8.9 million Euros, failed to live up to the expectations. Stiff competition for places at Merseyside had convinced the midfielder to look for other options
last year.
However, Bilyaletdinov changed his mind after the shocking departures of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mikel-Arteta-c25715 during the last transfer window. He still failed to reclaim a starting berth with David Moyes having other options at his
disposal.
Roman Pavlyuchenko has also returned to Russia from Tottenham Hotspur, having failed to impress during his stay with the North London club.
His stint at the White Hart Lane lasted four seasons but he struggled to get into the first team after sustaining repeated injuries. The arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526 during the last transfer window also hastened Pavlyuchenko’s
exit.
“They have been provided the bench role too often. If they had continued, they would have missed the golden opportunity. The English outfits were offering them a decent package but they wanted to play more often.” Ignatyev was
quoted as saying.
Speaking on the Arsenal attacker Andrei Arshavin's decision to stay at the Emirates stadium, the assistant manager revealed that the former Zenit St. Petersburg player does not want to risk his national team place by returning
to a lower league.
“Arshavin believes he could become a permanent figure in Arsenal but I doubt that.” Ignatyev said.
