If there is an opportunity to sign Reus, Götze or someone of that ilk I think Wenger will do it regardless of what we have.
Spot on. It's the right thing to do as well, it's incredibly difficult to sign top level players so when you have the chance to sign one you do it, then worry about how they fit in after.
Wenger comments in Podolski are in the context of him not being good enough to get game time ahead of the ones we already have.
