Yes, Sunderland have strengthened, but in numbers...not class.
Signing like Gardner, Brown and such will to get then into the top 6, although O'Shea and Brown may add valuable experience that is merely not enough. Plus, our forwards (Pav in particular) were just as good/poor as Sunderland's were. Gyan netted about 11 goals and Pav got 10 in the league I believe. Can't see them getting in the top 8 let alone 6 tbh.
See it ending up with -
1st - Chelsea
2nd - Yanited
3rd - City
4th - Liverpool/Spurs*
5th - Arsenal/Spurs
6th - Arsenal/Spurs
7th - Newcastle/Villa/Everton
*If we sign a top striker and keep Modric.
So you think we'll come 4th?...
