Yeah Ings was a complete surprise to everyone until the club announced it although I did think they had done pretty well with recruitment before that. Nobody in the media was reporting that one at all. Don't think they are done signing players either. Going to probably take Tuanzebe back as 3rd choice CB (and maybe get a 2nd choice GK) but I'd still be hoping for another signing and it could be someone like Ward Prowse who they are expected to go back in for with an improved 30-35m+ bid. Dunno if taking Ings from Southampton will make that tougher though as I can't see selling both of them going down very well with their fan base.
I'd say you might be on point with your predicted finish Zaph. In many ways Leeds overachieved in their first season back but were great however it is much harder to breach the gap between mid table and the top group of teams than it is to jump above the bottom group in the prem imo. Keeping Bielsa has been huge though hes one of those coaches that can make a team much better than they are on paper.
