Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed that he wants the Premier League title more than ever.
The Gunners have gone 13 years without lifting the domestic title, and questions have been asked of our club and manager’s desire to win things, and our manager is adamant that he still has that fight that, if not more than before.
Wenger said: “I was always hungry, but I’m hungrier than ever because the demands are higher, because I didn’t win the Premier League for a long time and because I want to do that before you get me out of here!
“I always have something to prove, if I play with you now we go out there and play four against four I will see that I will try to win, we can play one against one if you want.
“I think I’m born for competition, I don’t know why and what happened, but it’s like that no matter what I do and that’s it.
“The need is the desire to compete, that’s my real need. It’s never been financial. If it was only financial I would not be here.”
Our club hasn’t showed their desire to spend the money that our rivals do, although you could argue that we don’t have the resources to match all of our Premier League rivals in the transfer market.
You would be well within your rights to state that we do not splash the cash as much as we should, with our club even making a profit from our dealings this summer, but how much of that is down to the manager is tough to fathom.
Wenger clearly understands that his time in charge is coming to an end soon, and he intimates that is will be us as fans who will make him leave eventually, but can we believe that he still has the fight to win things like he claims?

It is true that we have don’t have that much financial muscle to spend 200 Millions in one Transfer Window which City did today this time around…. In premier league there is a simple combination, splash a cash and win premier league or of can’t splash a cash then you should have Sir Alex Ferguson as your manager… That man sold Ronaldo to Real Madrid for 80 Millions Pounds and bought Antonio Valencia from Wigan Athletics…. And still he was able to win Premier League.. I don’t remember he ever spend huge amounts to win premier league…
“I was always hungry, but I’m hungrier than ever because the demands are higher, because I didn’t win the Premier League for a long time and because I want to do that before you get me out of here!”
This comment has been quoted in the previous article. If he is that hungry, he should get better players in January, instead of relying on inexperienced youngsters.
He should focus on the trophies we can actually win…europa,fa cup and carabao cup. Those 3 trophies will open the door for 2 other trophies that can be won: uefa super cup and community shield. Going for the league requires the exact kind of consistency, ruthlessness and depth we are not know for.
Looking forward to when Arsene will leave Arsenal,oh dear I will be so much happy.I will be happy as if we win the EPL.
Someone give wenger something to eat plz. looks like no one taking care of that old man.thats why he is hungrier than ever.end of discussion
A fan tried to give him burger some years ago, maybe he’d have been satisfied and left by now
I LISTEN TO THE SPEECH he gave at the agm and i say to all those who clapped you have blown your change to let him know how it feels watching that very average team fail again under his rule ,because as well as he speaks ,he is just as bad as the board and the owner ,so yes he is hungry , hungry for your support so he can continue to feed you with lies ,yes of course he loves the club ,no other club in the world would allow him so much time to fail , so to all those who disagree with me i ask one question how can Tottenham pay less wages not invest heavily on player’s, build a new stadium and be challenging for the title ?.
What type of hungry is he? Hungry after a hard day’s work or hungry for a kebab after a night out drinking?
He is looking so thin these days I wish someone would give him some food.
I don’t doubt for 1 second he’s not doing everything is his power to win
But right now – still feel we are some way off genuine title contenders
He can be starving for it but he ain’t gonna win it!!! absolutely no chance!
So basically he is not leaving until he dies or the club winds up
It’s confirmed weegor has lost it . Premiership the stuff that dreams are made of. We have as much chance of winning as Stoke do. Did you watch out central defender yesterday? You wouldn’t see the likes of that in Sunday league. Weegor it’s time for the retirement home for you old lad.
He meant his hungrier for the 8 million quid and his hungrier for fans tickets income too.
He’s on £10.5 mil now having got a rewarded for backing Kroenke and Gadzidis
So, another 2 years contract extension then …. F##k!
