he said 'you have to extend the contract after two years' which they tried to do.

amazingly you are putting this at the door of the manager when there are others who do the job and make the final call. i guess it's easier to do that
So you think Wenger got a call to step in few weeks ago and Gazidis let months go before informing Wenger of the situation?

Wenger is talking about contracts being renewed in the first year when a player is on a four year deal and if it goes beyond two years the club may have to consider selling the player.

So, after the talks stall and we've gone beyond the 24 month period, what next? If Fergie can get up and talk some sense into his player and the Board, why can't Wenger.

Two of his first team players have one year left on their contracts and it will effect him and the team morale. Wenger knew about the situation and he chose to drop both Clichy and Nasri for a few games like he did with Cole, Edu, Wiltord and Lauren when their contract talks weren't going so well. That's what he chose to do.
