Well Yorkshire radio says that BFS is not at the game today because he is on a scouting mission in Russia??

Zenit are playing today, hope it's Pogrebenyak he's looking at!!

Hmm, they said he's in Russia? Must be Poggy then he is looking at.

IMO the manager doesn't go on a jolly to Russia just to watch a match especially when we are in action today too. Potentially something very big has chance of happening.

I agree, surely he would just send a scout if he was just taking a basic look at a player? Sam going himself means he wants a good look at a player with the view to an offer.

I know for a fact what game it is now...and the target...and why the manager has been away...

Won't be around until much later.

So no PMs or requests.

But it's worth the wait.

Well well well. About time too.

Make this happen Rovers.

If any prospective Pogrebnyak deal goes through I feel I should be entitled to a cut of the fee...

:lol:

PP would be a fantastic signing, even if he only stays for a year or two. Will be really pleased if we get him. We will still need to overhaul our midfield to make good use of him though...

Looking at the Lokomotiv and Dinamo squads there are no stand out, well known names...

Alexandr Kerzhakov at Dinamo Moscow? Played for Seville a year or two back.

With Poggy's contract running out in November - hopefuly we shouldn't have to dip too far into our £13m kitty (if he is indeed the target). Should hopefully leave some £££s for a new creative midfielder.

Kerzhakov would be a top, top signing. Every time I've seen him (only about 4 or 5 times, admittedly) he's looked a very good player. Don't think he's that tall though.

Not brilliant but I spent long enough fiddling with it I didn't want to waste it.

Don't ask why Zigic is headbutting Piquionne.

Presumably because Piquionne is not content to merely grab his own crotch, and is attempting to grab Zigic's.

Well if Pogrebenyak was the man that Sam went to watch today after Yorkshire radio revealed he was in Russia then he did okay without overly impressing.

I watched the game on bet365, he had a goal ruled out in the first few minutes after being caught offside, easy finish. He chased the ball down a lot and constantly worked hard without really having much success in the first half, when Zenit had the ball he played very high up the park as a loan striker.

In the second half Zenit had a bit more of the ball and he showed some good link up play and a willingess to run at defenders again though without Zenit creating any kind of clear cut chances. Around the hour mark Rubin had a player sent off and shut up shop playing on the counter attack (Nearly scoring with a good chance.) Pogrebenyak was again starved of any real service so it was hard to see much of his shooting or aerial ability in the box. Had one decent chance in injury time from about 18 yards out which he skied over the bar, his only shot of the match that I saw.

The game finished 0-0, if anything 10 men Rubin were the better team over 90 minutes, Zenit struggled to create any chances.

One interesting figure is they put up a 'Distance Run' statistic on the screen and only one Zenit player had ran more than him in the game.

So could just be a wild shot in the dark after Yorkshire radio's comment where some of us put 2 and 2 together but if this was the man Sam watched then that's a quick recap of what he would have seen.
