Gilbert? Or a lack of trades....

Sammy Gilbert is at a tempting price of $347,600.
So very, very tempting and with a BE of 47, I dare say this'll be as cheap as he gets.
I want to bring him in, but my situation doesn't look fantastic.
Yes, I trade far too often.
Heres the team (at full strength)
Got 130 000 in the bank, but cutting it fine with 3 trades left.

Deledio, Fisher, Newman, Gibbs, Goddard, Shaw, Grundy (A Johnson, B Jacobs, J Toy)

Boyd, Judd, Ablett, Swan, Hodge, Bartel (S Iles, T Mzungu, J Irons)

Cox, Jamar (N Vardy, B McCauley)

Pavlova, Goodes, Buddy, Sylvia, J Voldt, R Voldt, Higgins (J Darling, A Siposs, C Richardson)

So heres what I'm thinking, I trade Darling to Gilbert which opens up DPP (with A Johnson and Grundy), then I can avoid having to trade out Gibbs in the pre-lim final as I'll have Gilbert on the pitch when they face the Roo's.

Pros:
I'll have a really handy back up for the rest of the season in both forwards and defenders.
I'll be getting a bargain.
Darling is struggling.

Cons:
Only two trades left.
If I was forced to trade out Gibbs due to his finals bye, it would be to someone definietly IN FORM and that player will only have to last for 2 weeks without injury whereas Gilbert would have to last 8 weeks or whatever.

I can't decide!
Help me please!

I think your team looks fine, and with only 3 trades left, not worth it..
