Down in the dumps: Roman Pavlyuchenko[LNB]Roman Pavlyuchenko has confirmed his departure from Tottenham and will instruct his representatives to meet chief executive Paul Barber this week to organise a transfer in January. [LNB]The Russian striker, signed for £14million by Juande Ramos last year, has endured a terrible season, having played just four games for Harry Redknapp, scoring one goal, and having been part of the Russia team knocked out of the World Cup by Slovenia. [LNB]'I have never had such a black period in my life,' said Pavlyuchenko. 'Russia's failure was a continuation of a catastrophic 2009. I only sit on the bench for my club and now it did not work for the national team, either. [LNB]'I can only hope that January will bring changes in my life. Naturally, I mean moving clubs. My agents are coming to London this week to negotiate it.' [LNB]The only question is whether former club Spartak Moscow can afford to take him home or whether former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri will take a chance on him at Roma.[LNB] Aston Villa 1 Tottenham 1: Dawson's superb late equaliser sends Spurs thirdHughes cools Spurs interest in Richards, stating defender will stay at Man CityGoal crazy Tottenham are ready for anyone, warns Peter CrouchTOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC
