Man City star Shaun Wright-Phillips has denied being greedy over a new deal but wonders if the club really want him given the delay.
The England midfielder has seen talks come to nothing so far but insists he is not looking for parity with the top Eastlands earners.
Wright-Phillips told The Sun: "It is disappointing. And I repeat, it's nothing to do with money or me being greedy.
"
One thing that I definitely don't want to do is get into how much other players earn at this football club.
"Obviously, I know there are players here who earn more than twice what I do. But that's not the issue for me.
"
This is not about my bank account, it's about where I want to be and doing what I want to do."
He added: "I can't work out why there's still a delay, unless they don't want me and are trying to get me out."
Wright-Phillips still has two years to run on the deal he signed on his return from Chelsea in 2008.
