They are ambitious. They bought their way in to the TPL in 2009, but like current champions Muang Thong United have set new standards in terms of professionalism, promotion, and long-term planning for Thai clubs. In their first season, they were in a two-team race for the title with MTU before fading and finishing 3rd behind Chonburi. In 2010, they struggled for consistency, and were never in the title race, finishing 5th.
In addition to the players you've mentioned, they've also acquired Thai international striker Sarayoot Chaikamdee from Thai Port FC, who was 4th on the TPL goalscoring charts with 13 goals (30 match season). Samuel Ajayi, who is already with the club, is a fantastic forward too, although his finishing can be wayard. If Samuel improves his conversion rate, Smith could have a tough time cracking the starting XI. However, he should get plenty of opportunities, as BG should go deep into the cup competitions. They'll probably also defend their Singapore Cup title, having been the first non-Singaporean team to win it this year.
