In that case you're absolutely right. But Wenger doesn't say it's not about money which is what you have said. That's the false jump you keep making. He's saying that Theo's demands aren't outrageous (he is not obsessed by money)...then the next bit goes on to explain there is just a small difference that can be worked out. In that very same sentence. In the way human interaction works, it would require some sort of qualification to start talking about something else...even if Wenger can't talk about it (e.g. position). Something like "he isn't obsessed by money, in any case there are some other small issues to work out...". I don't understand what other way there is to interpret that sentence. But I guess this is getting far too tedious
Well, we could go round in circles on this one, but he's
I can't really read what Walcott says without trying to understand what he has to gain from it. I get the feeling Theo does want to be a striker but it would be a 'nice to have' rather than a critical factor - especially given the way we are set-up and the number of chances he continues to get. Our attacking players have the freedom the drift about wherever they want and the type of goals he scores shows this. But unfortunately, people can't look at "I want more money" with objective eyes. Wanting more money doesn't make him a bad person. For all we know the club have offered a poor contract for Theo's experience and quality. That wouldn't be too surprising.
