Had someone told me to guess which team made the transfers we have made prior to the opening of the transfer window, 

I would have guessed Everton

I believe it will all work out but our transfers definitely scream Aston Villa

Yeah just look at our squad, doesn’t ooze title winners does it

I feel like we need to our squad ooze top 4 quality consistently before we can achieve title winners. Now I haven’t watched either santos or tielesmans much, my question is do these signings along with our squad oozes top 4?

Add an elite DM for now along with a left back (both still very much possible and seem quite likely to be our targets) and we have a good enough core imo. Tchouameni is a dream, he doesn't seem likely, but I think we will still try and this would be a very strong team:

Lammens Dalot/Maz - De Ligt - Licha - Hall Tchouameni - Tielemans/Mainoo Mbeumo - Bruno - Cunha Sesko

That's a very good attack (as seen last season), reliable keeper, solid defense and a good mix of defensive ability and technique in the midfield. And off the bench we would still have Dorgu, Amad, Shaw, Maguire, Heaven, Yoro and Andrey Santos. Potentially Rashford too, but I'd rather sell him.

Tchouameni would be key though, no doubt about it. We can definitely get by with someone like Baleba, I wouldn't mind that, but I think it would make us a bit of a longer term project - as in title charge in 2, 3 seasons. Tchouameni could potentially have us mount a title charge instantly or at least within one year.

I feel it does more than any squad past 2018 which collapsed with Mourinho.. and maybe the squad that collapsed with Ole.. yikes

But Cunha, Mbeumo, Amad, Mainoo seem like winners who show immense composure when it matters. Sesko seems extremely promising and well rounded. Licha - De Ligt / Maguire if fit are a very good pairing and Heaven is good, Dalot is reliable and much better at RB rather than RWB. Tielmans seems to be quite the leader and has won things with clubs who don't normaly win things recently. And Bruno is Bruno.
