It's difficult to predict at this point, because there can be many more ins and outs.
Then you've got the Darren Moore factor. Despite his 6 games at the end of last season, which went well, I feel we learnt very little about him tactically. The players performed for him, but was this genuinely for him or just the big FU to Pardew?
That said, as it stands now, if the window ended tomorrow, I think we'd have the best squad in the league. I think we had the best squad of the relegated sides and were mismanaged more than anything.
However, the window isn't going to end tomorrow. I expect Chadli, Rondon and Dawson to all go, at least. They will not be replaced with like for like quality and then our squad will look much different. I'd love for us to keep them but with clauses and the other putting in a request, it's highly unlikely.
Based on the above, I couldn't even guess...
