Significant upgrade based on what evidence? And in his most important international, the Euro 2008 semis, he might as well have not been on the pitch.
Funny how everybody on here seems to be convinced that Colo is a significant upgrade on our current centre backs when the same reasoning applies.. I have no doubt about Arhsavin, he is a class act and will do well at Spurs. Wish we went in for him when we seemingly had the chance.
Yeah Russian league is just as good as Spanish
