The Big Six seems to have dissipated into The Big Three in recent seasons. We've just taken a point off Arsenal at their place. We've got a pretty decent success rate against Liverpool, and with the threat of a major points deduction hanging over Man City, it's entirely possible that there may be one or even two Top Four places up for grabs this season. Why not us?
I agree with this. Our signings are Top 4 signings, there is no reason to think it's not acheivable

I don’t think our signings are top 4 team signings at all. Top 4 teams buy well proven players over several seasons from top leagues. We are still buying potential from lower leagues or players with a season or so of pro football. Now they may all come good but It remains to be seen how many of them turn into top 4 level players.

That's a fair point, I'd class Ferdi, MOR, Rutter as better than that though, and Minteh maybe
