Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko was told last week to get a good English teacher as a birthday present to himself. [LNB]The Russian who turned 29 on Wednesday still faces a major language barrier and his agent Oleg Artemov said: 'Roman can understand, but people have to speak slowly.'[LNB]Pavlyuchenko's time at Spurs has been chequered and he has seemed near to an exit many times, both through his own desire to leave and by falling out of favour with manager Harry Redknapp. [LNB] Talk time: Roman Pavlyuchenko has been told to improve his English [LNB]Quite how those messages would likely have been passed between the two men is open to speculation, but the most likely method would have been by translator. [LNB]However, with his much improved form this season - not to mention his nine goals - Redknapp seems more willing to let Peter Crouch and Robbie Keane leave the club than the man the White Hart Lane faithful call Super Pav. [LNB]With the striker having been instructed to find himself an English teacher to improve his communication skills, perhaps the Russian is now planning to extend his stay in North London rather than cut it short.
