With £235m+ spend and De Zerbi cooking, what would actually constitutes as a"successful" season 26/27 for us?

Personally, I'm leaning toward Top 2/3 given the lack of European fatigue and the quality injected into the squad. But I know De Zerbi's system might take some time to perfectly click.

Should we judge success purely by the table/trophies, or by the style of football?
