Wow long post, I agree with most of it, although I think you downplay the rags acquisitions, Varanne will be a huge signing for them.
It's going to be a very close title race, Chelsea and rags will have optimism from their signings, Liverpool will have their defensive players back from injury and their rabid referee influencing fans back. You would imagine Leicester, Spurs, Everton and West Ham might take a few points off the bigger teams.
We will have super Jack Grealish and a title winning squad, not ideal without a recognised striker but let's get behind the team.
