Why should we be signing players that aren't good enough to replace whoever is already in the team? So what if it means Westlake gets pushed out, it forces him to improve to get his place back. We shouldn't be looking at signing any squad players, we should be signing players who improve the first XI, not improve the squad.
I agree. I also think at this level it is better to use a genuine first team contender out of position than a 'squad' player.
