Kanchelskis has singled out Arsenal‘s Andrey Arshavin, Everton’s Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and Tottenham’s Roman Pavlyuchenko. All three have failed to make an impression and haven’t been able to establish themselves as regular first team starters.
Speaking to the Express, the 42 year old FC Ufa manager believes that the trio will be forced to return to Russia sooner rather than later.
Arsenal’s Arshavin has been strongly linked with a move to Zenit, and the Russian club’s director, Igor Korneyev, has made his intentions clear to bring the Russian captain back home.
“These days all the players are thinking of is money matters. And I see it as one of their major problems. All the three Russians in the Premier League had times when they played great football but such periods proved to be too short.
“If only our guys could show more stability, each of them could be leaders of their teams. Unfortunately, that is not happening. And it is likely that they will have to move back to Russia soon.”
Meanwhile, Roman Pavlyuchenko’s agent has claimed that if Tottenham fail to provide a better contract, the striker will leave for nouveau-rich club Anzhi Makhachkala.
Everton’s Diniyar Bilyaletdinov has found it difficult to adjust in the Premier League since his big money move from Lokomotiv Moscow and has also made it clear that he is willing to relocate in search of regular first team football ahead of Euro 2012.
