Roman waiting on Roma response

Roman Pavlyuchenko's agent is waiting to hear back from Roma after reiterating the Tottenham striker's desire to leave White Hart Lane.

Pavlyuchenko: Wants to quit Tottenham

The Russian forward's future has been the subject of speculation for some time, with Jermain Defoe, Robbie Keane and Peter Crouch all ahead of him in the pecking order.

Pavlyuchenko is keen to play regularly and announced earlier this month that he would look to secure a move away from White Hart Lane when the transfer window reopens.

He has been linked with a return to his homeland, while agent Oliver Wendt announced last week that Roma were interested in securing his services.

Wendt has not heard of any fresh developments over the past few days but will continue to monitor the situation.

"Pavlyuchenko wants to leave Tottenham," Wendt told romagiallorossa.com.

"If Roma are interested in Pavlyuchenko they should contact us and Tottenham. We await a response from Roma.

"I have not heard Roma since the famous contact of last week in London and there hasn't even been any contact with Tottenham lately."

Harry Redknapp has insisted he does not want to sell Pavlyuchenko and there have been suggestions that a loan switch might be more likely.

However, Wendt has ruled out such an idea, saying: "No, the loan of the player is not possible."

"Don't you just hate agents?"

"Why would Wendt want a loan? No/much less money for him!"

"This agent doesnt seem to fully grasp how transfers work, just because Roma MIGHT declare they want him it doesnt mean that we are going to sell him, at the end of the day he is under contract so he doesnt go anywhere if Levy / Redknapp says no"

"Why oh why have agents manages to get this stronghold over over-paid footballers? It's all about the money and they couldn't care less

about the actual player. Flog them and let them rot in a bottomless pit. I despise them

as

much as the wallstreet fatcats. Money money money. Pav, come out and put the record straight and don't let this fu@@wit mess you up. In Harry and Levy he meets only deaf ears- thank god"

"get rid of him, when will Tottenham learn that spending millions on a fourth striker is ridiculous. Of course they won't be happy - we need a kid."

"Pav is disappointing isn't he, it's not anyone fault but yours that you are always on the bench. You had most of last season to prove your worth, you barely light up the world. no question about his skill and strike but far too weak. "

"would be better suited to the italian game, where it's much SLOWER! Not a bad player, but a poor man's sheringham. Not quick enough and he gets knocked off the ball to easy in the prem. I'm with harry, if any one wants to stump up 13mil you can have him"

"I though you wanted to go back to Russia Pav? I think you should tell your monkey of an agent to shut up as he is making you look a fool. First you wanted first team football because of WC. Understandable. But then you didnt make the WC and your agent said you was home sick and wanted to be in Russia. Again understandable. Now you will be happy in Italy? Either you agent is an absolute moron or your mind is as consistent as your game."

"Give me £4000 a week and I'll sit on the bench to the reserves for the rest of my life. Happily!

I think RP would do great for us if he got a long run, but when he sends his agent to the chairmans office complaining about why hes not playing like a spoiled brat, I say fu*k off or take the fight with JD, RK and PC like a man."
