Yes, you can make arguments for players in isolation, Tobias isn't bad & has been unfortunate with injuries, & we all know Dawson's qualities, but we all also know his age, and therefore the likely hood of him breaking down, so he's not a bad signing, but only if you have a good, stable defence that can cope with his probable absences, & Hefele we've touched on already, so it's been less about a well thought out bigger picture & building a defence & more about getting bodies through the door.
We've been using the Oliver Twist school of recruitment, please sir, can I have some more.
It's why we also ended up with 72 central midfielders, but are now looking at Andy King, because they were all so similar to each other & nobody bothered to look at variety.
Tis truth.
