Perspective - our first XI was blitzing pretty much every team in the League. Our bench, however, was lacking severely in quality.
Which to you needs strengthening?
There's no right or wrong answer to that though is there?
Both sides of the argument could be happily sided with
The thought that you bring players in
even better than your first 11 and therefore either have them wait on a chance to push themselves in the side and push some of last seasons players to the bench, therefore making the bench and squad stronger..
Or
You bring players in simply to strengthen your bench who you don't deem better than what you already have in the first 11 but better than you had as squad options
You could argue that the first point would immediately improve you but also could cause disharmony to the squad that players who thought themselves as prime to be in the first 11 are shoved into the fringes more
You could argue the second point doesn't really bring players in who are really going to either push the established players or improve the 11.
There's points on both sides that make sense neither is right not wrong.
I personally think like with everything a mix of the two would work best
