I know what you are getting at, i'm one of the people you're thinking of, i cant speak for anyone else but personally its not because i think the entirety of the championship is trash its more about probabilities. Sure there might be a couple of people good enough for the step up to the prem, some of them might become world class players but its more of a gamble than trying to get someone thats "proven". We had alot of injuries last season and a short preseason so i can understand to some extent that it wasn't an optimal season in that sense but lets be honest, we are pretty shit with some gems hidden here and there. Personally i think we need to add quality not gambles or "one for the future". it would be nice to have a season where we dont have to worry about relegation.. and a gamble might just get us there if it fails.
