Well that's it isn't it? He is claiming that the critical issue is that he plays up front, although Wenger might move him there it will be when he wants to do so. Wenger isn't going to take edicts from players on where they should go. The unspoken issue is money which also seems to be a problem since we've trying to make the wage bill make more sense.

I think he is going. We've been here all too many times before. A year ago we spoke to Walcott and his 'team' said they wanted to sort it out at the end of the season so he could 'focus', this always sends alarm bells ringing. Now he wants to wait until he is promised a certain position? Any manager worth his salt wouldn't commit to such a deal for a player whose really only proved himself in a another position. So this dance will continue until he leaves in the summer. The players always stall and hedge but they know their plan, leave on a free and pocket a larger signing on bonus.

Nasri did it, Van Persie did it, Walcott is going to do it. I hope I am wrong but if Walcott was going to sign he would have done it already.

I am also annoyed that, like Nasri before him, he seems to be having his best season when motivated by the prospect of a transfer/new contract.

not surprising that we may well have yet another last year performer.

The thing is they see it as just normal behaviour which of course to us is just pure cheating.

I'm guessing this means Pep is on his way to Chelski then. Shame as I was hoping he'd take over from SAF.

l guess thats loyalty for you Russ and l thought Hughsie was the first for the chop.

Or Benitez..

It looks like Man Utd will have to rummage around in the second hand shops to get their new manager as top managers prefer to go to Harrods it seems.
