ANDREY ARSHAVIN SAYS HE WAS GOING MAD AND INTO A DEPRESSION WHEN SITTING ON THE BENCH.

The Russian footballer Andrey Arshavin was blaming Arsenal and Arsene Wenger, for his troubles at Arsenal.
 But he should blame himself only for the failure.As he was the star of EURO 2008, and joined Arsenal on the last day  of the transfer window when prices are higher.He joined Arsenal for a record 15 million pounds then, and a weekly salary  of 85,000 pounds.But he did  not shine as expected at Arsenal. The only game where he really did well was against Liverpool where he scored all the four goals.But after that it was nothing to boast about., either for club or for Russia, for the world cup qualifier he brought that form to Arsenal, and never did recover.
Last year Arsenal tried to sell him  back to his old club Zenith St Peterburgh but they flatly refused to buy him for a price.So he was indeed in poor form.
This year Arsenal released him along with Denilson and another player. Now Zenith Petersburgh got him free.This refusal added to his depression and going mad as he says sitting on the Arsenal Bench.
