9-12 is what I'm expecting, assuming we make a couple of signings to strengthen our midfield.
Our defense is very, very good - easily Premiership-quality, imo. Our central midfield, however, is the weakest part of the team and we'll be run over by almost every team in the Premiership unless Barton returns to form and is partnered with an improved Guthrie or a mobile, technically-decent offensive central midfielder is signed to provide some composure to our midfield. Jonas and Routledge are middle-Premiership level players so I'm not worried about them; they've got pace which will scare the shit out of most Premiership defenses so they'll still be able to cause trouble.
Then, up front, apart from Lovenkrands, we've got a horribly slow and inactive strike force, and this lack of pace was what I believed was a main cause in our inability to score in our last Premiership campaign (note: Martins' absences through injury and our managers' refusal to drop the slow Owen didn't help), and that's why a pacey striker has to be the second priority for Hughton this summer.
Apart from that, getting a good backup for Enrique and some extra CMs would provide the necessary squad depth.
