My concern with our transfer strategy is...

We have signed a number of players with a previous injury history. I appreciate taking the gamble on them when others don't want to allows us to perhaps attract a player that may not have previously been available to us, or might allow us to get them at a reduced price.

They might all then go 5 seasons without a major injury. But we also can't then be surprised if we get several reassurances of injuries which result in an injury crisis.
