They're going to be a Top 8 side this year if all of these end of window moves come to fruition. Dendoncker/Coutinho/Neves midfield would be a Top 4 central midfield trio , and could make Neves even better now that he wouldn't have to worry about tracking back. The only thing that slightly worries me about them is their back line, outside of Boly they haven't added anyone, and I'm not sure how well they can handle high level pressing the likes of which they did not see in the Championship.

Moutinho not Coutinho lol I wish

And yes the back line is definitely the weak spot. Boly is class and will do fine. Coady should do good enough as the sweeper if he keeps his form from last year. And Ryan Bennett would be the favorite right now for the last spot. I think Dendonckner could possibly be looked at as a possibility to slide in to the back 3.

Sorry, I confuse all of the Portuguese-based names...yes I know Coutinho is Brazilian, but the "tinho" gets me every time.

Dendoncker did play CB against Celtic in the Champions League and looked pretty good there from the two games I watched...but I think his real place is right in front of the backline in supply and support.
