There's a few things striking me about all this.

Firstly, it can't be the end of the spending, what we've done so far wouldn't quite be enough so we may as well not have spent all that money.

Secondly, the new signings must have been promised other reinforcements or they wouldn't have come.

Thirdly we seem to be balancing the likes of Talbi with experience like Reinildo, winning the ball and allowing Enzo, etc, to get the ball forward quickly.

I don't think we've seen the half of it all yet.
Wouldn’t be shocked if we’ve only spent half of our budget so far
 
So how would you feel if we started the season with Ballard and Cresswell as the two starting CB’s? Its a no from me.
Id be quite happy, we would have to play a little bit deeper but I don't mind that at all. I'd play narrow and force teams to either risk playing through us, using mobile CMs like ELF and Diarra to make that really difficult, or teams to play wide against us. If teams play wide you then want players like Cresswell and Ballard defending the box, you effectively say to teams cross the ball if you dare as we have 2 dominate CBs
 
That championship looks awful to get out if next season. I'd expect Ipswich, Southampton, Birmingham, Wrexham, Norwich & Coventry to be right up there. Can add in Leicester if they avoid a points deduction. Forgot about shef utd too. So pleased we came up this year.
I think Derby will be dark horses too.
 
I think we will play deep and try and counter so whilst pace would be nice I don't think it'll be the be all if they are a good defender, first yards are in the head

I don't see Wrexham, Norwich and Coventry in that mix to be honest. Birmingham and the 3 relegated teams will be the clear top 4 for me.
