Signing second or third choices would be a bigger gamble.
It's not brinkmanship if you've been told by their clubs that the players you want are not being made available until nearer the end of the month. That's just sound planning or whatever the opposite of panic is because signing lesser players and missing out on your targets would be panicking.
We've got a decent chance of going up this season, and the last thing you need is a squad full of newly contracted players that were not your first choice so presumably may not be good enough for the Championship and you can't get rid of them.
