I genuinely feel this is going to be a long hard season. Last season I felt Shelvey, Ritchie and Gayle were the only ones with PL quality and we look reluctant to spend anything huge to change that. My major concern is our defence and CM position, it just doesnt look all to great. Alot will depend how well we start the season off like and we have a good set of fixtures. I've gone for 15th for now.

I think this squad under most managers would struggle but I think we'll be very organised and difficult to play against. Somewhere between 10th-14th.

Defence doesn't concern me because Rafa will make us hard to beat and well drilled

 

I'm more worried about drawing too many games at home. I expect us to get a few big scalps though. Rafa loves a tactical battle.

I'm still not ready to commit, but if we keep everyone fit and suspension free throughout the season (which of course is never going to happen) I think we are more than good enough to finish top 10. The big problem with our squad right now is the lack of quality in depth at certain positions, we've no cover for Gayle or Shelvey and those two are vital for us to have a good season. If the window closed today however barring a season long injury to one or both of those two, I think we will be fine, there is more than enough crap at the bottom and Rafa is more than capable of keeping our heads above water.

If we sign a decent striker, I'm going to say 13th. Never in any real trouble throughout the season. Start well as we have good fixtures August-November, tail off in December, and then just consolidate rest of the season with some home wins and points away at the s****.

I went for 11th purely because I don't think Rafa would settle for anything less. He'll probably be privately aiming for top 10 at least but he won't have the squad to do it.
