Do you really think we have no one lined up? When you have one visa spot to use, the juggling act must be to do with getting the best possible local player and then using the visa to balance the squad. I bet we have a list of players lined up. If A signs, then B. If B signs, then C... Like selling a house, all the possible permutations must align.
Maybe signing the best possible experienced local players is the issue though, and proving tough.
The initial comment IIRC was.  due to missing out on local player to fill the CB role they are having to sign a visa in this position.
Was always going to be difficult to convince experienced quality local players (NZ / Aus) that have options, to come in on the back of game style shown by Chiefy over last couple of seasons. 

Edit. We might just have to rely on promising academy players for this season, and look to build for the future. Some certainly showing they are worth the gamble
