The agent of Roman Pavlyuchenko has described Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp as a "complex man".

Oleg Artemov managed to get Pavlyuchenko to Lokomotiv Moscow last week.

He told Sports.ru: "I did (talk to Redknapp), several times. He always said Pav is a fantastic striker, even to his face, but then hardly ever played him. You have to know him to understand that he is a complex man. But I wouldn't call him two-faced. He is at an age, where it is too late to change as a person.

"He says one thing, and then does another, but there is nothing anyone can do about it."
