I think that's fair enough, really. I'd imagine that's what I'd be like if I was a footballer. Some people can get bored by it.
I not even sure it's that. He's not happy here at the club or in this country. Doesn't help that he' played out of position as well. He's been off form for ages now and Wenger hasn't listened to him about playing in a more central role. He's done it for a Carling Cup game and way back when we had no strikers in a 4-3-3. The fans have been on his back for months and he keeps getting played in a position that doesn't suit him. I think he's numb to it all now.
