To be fair I've never stated that the protracted contract negotiations weren't a factor, but I also don't believe they are the only consideration.
Wenger has played up to the match last night what he considers his best players 1-11 and would rather shoe horn them in to an ill fitting formation where someone plays out of position than drop someone.
I think wenger likes to play the "possession players" and would sacrifice a proper winger and goal threat (theo) to make sure his team has more possession than the other team

Theo is a goal threat, offers us pace and keeps the opposition LB in check. However. One of his weaknesses is that he tends to give the ball away and not participate in the attack building as well as leave the RB exposed.
