Lokomotiv Moscow signing Roman Pavlyuchenko has described his time at Tottenham as "meaningless".

Pavlyuchenko moved to White Hart Lane in August 2008.

He said: "I think all the decisions I have made during my career have been right. My decision to sign for Lokomotiv is not an exception. I could have stayed at Tottenham and dealt with meaningless things.

"My desire is to play. I decided, together with my family, that this is the best way. I was playing in a strong league, I enjoyed the game and I scored some important goals.

"During the time I spent [in England], I developed as a footballer and I became more professional.

"Lokomotiv are a top team and I want to help to reach the serious goals. This season it's a reality to win the Russian title."
