This is houseboat-ish but I asked Jan Aage Fjørtoft on twitter whether we had any chance of getting Götze or Reus this summer and he said no.

We're definitely after strikers only, no wide players after what Wenger said about Podolski.

Good. Striker is more important.

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.

Definitely.

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.

He said the same thing when asked why he didn't go for Depay, He said he plays wide where we have seven or eight players who can play there.

Yep and Depay wouldn't get his game either because he's not Gotze, Reus, etc Rex is right, if we can get a top player Wenger will sign regardless of where he players.

Bayern are not easy. Thankfully, we have time.

Vidal going to Bayern could help things on this front.

Nah, that'll help us get Alaba. Gotze is already in the bag.

Juventus apparently. Hope we are in for him or have someone other than Aubameyang in the target scope.

gotze at juve seems an odd fit

Ooooh, he looks like a man that's not happy with how things are going at Bayern and fancies a move. Wenger wouldn't be able to resist the temptation, surely? You can always find room for a player as good as Götze.

Can't imagine Wenger letting him go without putting in a bid himself. He's a proper Wenger player.

Not sure he would choose us over Juventus to be honest. Hopefully our German contingent, and money, will put us over the line in that case.

We don't need another midget.

It's Benzema or bust is transfer window as far as I'm concerned.
