Questioning his ability is one thing, it's abundantly clear that he doesn't have what it takes....but there is no evidence to suppose that someone who has won three league titles has no desire to win anything else.

Do you look at Wenger as someone fixated with money, because If he was it stands to reason he could have left Arsenal in 2004 for Real Madrid and added an extra decimal to his wages.
It seems crazy to question his desire to win more trophies but I often ask that question season after season. Why hasn’t the years of losses, the jabs by his nemesis Mourinho and detractors sent him into a blind rage? Why hasn’t that spurned him on? How can he stand to see his peers surpass him to CL glory and not try to do more? Why hasn’t any of this set him on a path to getting his team right and using all the funds possible to create a beast of a team? As Wright said some weeks back, it doesn’t look like the losses hurt him enough. It doesn’t sound right considering what I’ve heard him say and that quote from Dein but I really don’t know what else to conclude.

If he’d gone all out this season and spent everything on the team, a striker, a DM and whoever else we needed to get the job done, I’d agree that the hunger is there but not the ability. But I fear it’s a case of lacking in both hunger and ability. When were those quotes taken from Dein? Is he referring to the old Wenger during the Highbury years when he refuse to drink with other managers after a game? We all know he’s soften his approach and would drink with Fergie of all people. I really don’t know where he’s at mentally.

Think of it this way. Our players have been right in the mix for their first league title under Wenger but we often get games where it looks like they have nothing to play for. It’s baffling at times but we’ll still accuse some of not really caring and comfortable picking up a cheque. So why isn’t it different for Wenger? You get it sometimes that some people can’t battle through tough times and give up right in the middle of a tough task. That might be the case for some of the players and Wenger. The hunger dies out. As for Wenger at Madrid! He’s safer here at Arsenal and wouldn’t take a genius to work out he’d earn more here over several seasons compared to one or two years with Madrid. He’d have been sacked by now.
