The pot was there to buy and while the wage bill was a worry 'till the expensive benchwarmers were disposed of, there would never have been real trouble getting quality in if it were available.
Wenger and the board failed to convince RvP that the club had the ambition to finaly start winning stuff and a 30 year old striker can't be expected to hang around waiting for yet another re-build of the team using French kids (even if the club stood by him when he looked like a he might be a permanent crock). Can't really say I blame him and given he was wearing a prem winners medal 1 season later it would be hard to argue that he was wrong to move.
Ozil is a wonderful signing, and he is not the complete answer, but he is an indication of the club starting to wake up. Sometime around the end of the year expect to see a buck-toothed Uruguayan racist handing in transfer requests, sulking in the dressing room and pissing in Brenda's coffee in the hope of getting serviced by Mesut.
