It’s all very well saying “he’s decent, would improve us” etc, but we’ve seen time and time again the problem with signing players and not properly considering how they’re going to fit into the team and the club.
If we’re limiting ourselves to free transfers then it’s something that could very easily happen again.

This.
“Better than what we have” should not be the criteria. It’s not difficult to better than shite, which is what most of our squad is.
What we need is better, but also the right kind of player, the right age, the right price, all within the context of prioritising what we need and recognising that we need at least 4 new players this summer.
If the right player comes along on a free, great, but eyeing up freebies just because we need players…. No.
Frankly, I’m glad we were nowhere near Rudiger. Apart from the fact I don’t see what all the fuss is about, I don’t want us throwing money at 29 years olds to convince them to come here. We need to move away from that and this blinkered view of just signing premier league players.
