This is how you follow up winning the league. Add a couple of top class players and turn the screw a little more.

To be fair, the Rags did this by signing Verón and Van Nistelrooy after walking the league in 2001, then Arsenal won the double the following year.

Chelsea also attempted it by bringing in Ballack and Shevchenko in 2006 after two league titles won at a canter, only to watch the Rags win the league the following season.

Doesn't always work out. I'm hoping that signing Premier League-based players should reduce the risk of failure fairly substantially though. Given our previous reticence to go this big with transfer fees, we must be extremely confident about these players.
