Andrei Arshavin has One Month Left to Save his Arsenal Career

06.02.12

Nearly three years on his time at the Emirates is seen as a failure, and he could face the axe in January.

Their failure to win a trophy since 2005 had been blamed on allowing their stars to go, and signing only 'stars of the future'.

The capture of Andrei Arshavin was an arrival of a bona fide star at his peak, months after his inspired showing for Russia at Euro 2008, when he led his nation to the semi-finals.

Fans saw him as the missing part of the jigsaw, and hopefully a prelude to signing others of his ilk.

He started well enough, scoring four goals at Anfield in an unforgettable 4-4 draw which was supposed to lay down a marker for the future.

Wenger then inexplicably omitted him from the line-up which lost an FA Cup semi-final 2-1 to Chelsea, a decision rightly questioned by the fans.

In the two seasons since, fan patience is running thin.

He has flattered to deceive, often struggling to complete 90 minutes, and goes missing for long periods in games.
