Wenger's Just Too Nice Sometimes...

The issue of Theo Walcott playing for both the full England side ad then the U21s in Sweden has been written about quite a bit and though Wenger is unhappy about the prospect it will go ahead. He obviously doesn't want to stop the player against his wishes and has tried reason with the 2 managers but they, quite rightly, want the best team for them (just as club managers do).
However, if we look at Wayne Rooney and similar young players who have developed early it seems that managers such as Old Red nose would NEVER have let it happen, even if Rooney himself wanted to play for both sides (as he could of 2 years ago). His record is littered with players not being available for international games, both friendly and competitive, yet he's never questioned by the press about not being good for the Fnegland national side as our manager is (though on a different tact).
I don't think Wenger is wrong to adopt his approach, he has always treated players with respect and allowed them to make their own decisions on many occasions but perhaps this is sometimes at odds with the right decision for Arsenal Football Club.
