Roman future on line after bust-up
Posted Tuesday, January 31, 2012 by The Sun
ROMAN PAVLYUCHENKO'S Spurs career looks over after a training ground bust-up.
The Russian striker, 30, clashed with assistant boss Kevin Bond over his lack of first-team opportunities.
He even hurled abuse at boss Harry Redknapp — who was not even at Sunday's session.
His outburst is sure to be the final straw for Redknapp, who has long had his differences with the striker signed from Sporting Moscow for £13.8million in 2008.
Pavlyuchenko, who came on as a 92nd-minute sub in Friday's 1-0 FA Cup triumph at Watford, has yet to start a Premier League game this season after extending his contract last summer.
Now, even at this late stage in the transfer window, Lokomotiv Moscow are expected to re-enter the race to sign him having recently had a £6.5m bid rejected.
They seem ready to increase that offer to £8m for a player who has scored 42 times in 114 appearances, 43 of them from the bench.
QPR were also previously interested before Tottenham's original asking price of £10m scared them off.
