I think we'll finish somewhere between 9th and 12th.
The top 8 will be the big 6 clubs, plus Leicester and Villa, but I'm not sure what order they'll finish.

With the season about to start how do you think we will go this time I hope we can improve on last season but would be happy with 9th/10th

I’d be happy with anything above 12th. Can’t see us getting 9th again. If we add goals to that attacking midfield then we might get top 10 but it’s not looking that way at the moment. I also think we need better cover than Costa gives us out wide.

I think we'll do well to stay mid table this season. We are no longer the new kids on the block and some of our tactics will have been worked out. Having said that, our defence was much better in the second half of the season, so we should still be hard to beat.

still easily better than 6 or 8 sides though

And that’s the main thing isn’t it at this time. We need another good solid season to cement the club’s prem status. I’d really like us to bring a couple of quality players in though, need a better 8 and left winger or certainly someone to put pressure on Harrison’s place

Current squad 12th-14th.
Cunha and a couple more 9th/10th.
Ings might have been a good buy at 25m and Hart to cover Meslier due to his experience.
But 3 more still need imo to replicate last seasons finish.

Based on name only. Hart has been gash for years, and Ings wouldn't last a week training at Leeds.
Cunha rumours have been rubbished countless times.

I'd be interested to know who the teams who finished below us last season who you think will finish above us. Other than Villa, none look stronger than last season. Palace perhaps, but their squad is even thinner than ours.

palace will be fighting to stay up imo

Not sure about your statement re Ings as don`t know too much about his training regime.
But for me both Villa and Everton and possibly Southampton could with our current squad finish higher than us Villa in particular which pushes us to 12th.
Promoted teams are an unknown like Sheff U and Leeds and others such as Newcastle and Palace could spring a few surprises.
Our squad over achieved last year imo and we have lost Hernandez and Alioski replaced by Firpo.
2 or 3 more players needed as far as I`m concerned to replicate or better last years finish.
