There are only so many teams in the league, unfortunately some talented players will have to go to the first division in order to prove their worth.
Next year rosters for many teams may look different, due to the crisis the will be less money to go around, some young kids may benefit from that.
I was pretty impressed with Loco's 18-year-old defender Ruslan Kambolov.
he's actually been showing some promise lately. Will be on NT if anything goes as planned. He scored a goal against Real I believe at the tournament in Moscow.
Anyway, after today Zenit makes it into Europe and Spartak doesn't, though if they win the UEFA Cup or Russian cup they will qualify. Krylya's in Europe as well, congrats to them and their great fans.
btw, did anyone catch the horrible banner by Zenit from a week ago ?Really tasteless stuff.

Zenit 0 - 0 Juve. Zenit dominated the game but Juve was able to counter dangerously. Lots of possession for Zenit but it's hard to score when the other team plays with 9-10 men behind the ball.
Zhirkov makes it 2-0 with a nice finish. Fun, open game so far with us beaing the better side clearly, especially on the possession front. Lech had a couple of chances on the break but other than that haven't really shown anything.
Dzagoev, Zhirkov, and Semberas our best players so far.
btw, 8 Russians in the first 11, 9 FSU players including Semberas.
There've been rumours that Dzyuba will leave Spartak and I've been hoping for months now that he somehow joins CSKA, but I highly doubt a Spartak player would go to CSKA..

It doesn't happen very often, I can think of Korneev who came through Spartak' youth system but ended up joining CSKA.
I've heard Pogrebnyak might be headed somewhere also.
PP is rumored to go to Everton, it's fizzled out as of late though.
The media was speculating on Zhirkov very heavily for about two weeks. Reportedly Juve were trying to get him, then three English teams were linked with him, the most notable of which was Chelsea.
Imgine Chelsea having Yuriy as their LB and Bosingwa as their RB....damn.
