Fair point in terms of quality of squads, ours is weaker. Although I think West Ham and Stoke could struggle this season and both lose managers early in the season.
We are not really going to be competing with the likes of Chelsea, Man U, Man City, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal etc. More the likes of Watford, Burnley, Huddersfield, Stoke, Swansea, Palace, West Ham, to name a few. I think our squad is comparable to those teams, but yes we do need to strengthen...
That's not a bad starting 11 is it? It also shows we don't need to sign 6 or 7 players like Huddersfield have, we just need a couple of extra players who would add additional quality. Weak areas for me are LB and FW.
