Auba fires shots at Arteta, sluring his abilities in the locker roomThe Gabonese striker believes he was depressed.”I’m sure (that I was depressed). There are attitudes that are seriously different from your daily life. For example, I started drinking a lot,” confessed the 34-year-old striker. “It was a heavy, difficult period. It started a little before I was fired from Arsenal. So yes, it was depression, I think it was linked to my parents. It affects a man, it ‘is normal.
