    Can we?

    Start getting excited about mounting an assault on the top 4 next season?

    Trippier and Bruno didn't join to faff about mid table did they???

    No, they definitely didn’t - I reckon they were told about the summer window shortlist (bearing in mind the potential for foreign-based strategic free transfers in that list) and I think we’ll be very happy

    No, top 10.

    A top 10 finish next season would be good but i think we should be aiming higher. Especially if we sign another 3 or 4 players that are a similar standard to Trippier and Bruno. Need to capitalize on the feelgood factor around the club at the moment

    I'm not expecting to finish in the top 4 but if Leicester can go from being nearly relegated to winning the Prem why can't we be in or around the top 6?

    The football stars aligned for Leicester that season. Spurs are fourth right now and put 8 past us gaining 6 points, there'll have to be a big improvement to overtake them next season, I'd be very pleased to challenge for 6th place.

    I know we are probably capable with Eddie in charge and signing 4-5 Bruno / Tripz calibre players that we will finish in the top 7 next season.

    However my concern will be over achieving and getting a European spot next year. Seeing every single team, Wolves, Leicester etc (that upper mid table tier of teams) suffer in the league when they have to spread their squad across Domestic and European competitions.

    I would really be happy if we can either bring is 4-5 Bruno quality players, bring back the top achieving youngsters out on loan & also move on 6-7 of the Hendrick type Ashley dross and bring in another 3-4 European top top quality youngsters.

    I'd like to see Ward-Prowse & Bissouma brought in. Paulinha from Sporting Lisbao and Ruiz as options.

    Bring in Eketike and another striker move on Gayle & one of Wood or Wilson, not bothered which. One is not a prolific scorer but gives us a different dimension, the other is on the injury room table more than on the pitch.

    Aim for the title.

    Happy with a bare minimum top 10 with 3 or 4 quality signings.

    Gotta shoot for the top otherwise whats the point? I want 11 competitors on the field who think like this and take it personally when finishing second best.

    The way I see it. If wolves and wet spam can be in the top 8, then so can we if we recruit well this summer.

    7th would be magnificent progress, but 1st things 1st. We aim for top half and see where it takes us.

    If the league had started the weekend Howe took charge of his 1st game, (and Gerrard too at Villa) we would be 8th. With wolves 7th and only the "big 6" above us.

    So, I say 7th is our goal

    we have dropped something like 23 points from winning positions this season, which would have us in the top 4 right now

    plus a full season with Eddie instead of that buffoon, we will be looking as high as possible.

    so if we recruit well enough defensively and get a top goal scorer, the CL places are not too far fetched next season
