the slow disassembling of Zenit St. Petersburg

Good things never last... The players who had led the team to winning Russian Championship, Russian Supercup, UEFA Cup, and UEFA Supercup in the last two years are gone:

• Andrei Arshavin --> Arsenal (£16.5M)
• Anatoli Timoschuk --> Bayern Munich (€15M)
• Pavel Pogrebnyak --> Stuttgart (€4.5M)

Head coach is going to Belgium at the end of the season. He is currently bickering with the club in hopes that he'll get fired early?

... and who did the team get as replacements?

• Danny from Dynamo Moscow -- currently injured; out for the season
• Kornilenko from Tom'
• Rossina from Seria B

... and you wonder why Zenit has no game?

Ugh.
