Exactly. If Tobias develops into a better-than-A-league player in a couple of years and we didn't sign him when we had a spot free then people will complain that we didn't. I know everyone thinks the import slots should be reserved for definite starters but realistically in a salary capped league that might not always be possible, especially if we aren't using the marquee spot. The best balanced squad we can get for our budget won't always have 5 starting imports. A lot of imports are gambles and flop anyway
