If this is not about keeping both of your goalkeepers happy, then what else is it about? What is to stop him having two world class goalkeepers and only ever playing one of them, if not keeping them both happy?
To quote your original post - "So reading between the lines of Wenger’s comments I assume that Ospina said he’d only stay if he got to play in the Champions League/domestic cup games".

Kind of sounds like an ultimatum to me, and if an ultimatum is not a person dictating to another then I am a Chinaman, as such.

Ultimately Ospina going or staying is a call made by AW given the player is under contract. Perhaps, allied with a need to keep players active and involved, there has been elements of Cech's play which has concerned the manager and as such he decided to give Ospina a run.

Perhaps Ospina has been flying in training, we both know how you have taken this line in the past.

Perhaps, as you have said, he is the designated cup keeper.
